Ultra High-Speed Data Recording at
24MB/s::
Incorporates years of Sony's advanced magnetic recording
technology, providing an extremely high sustained native data rate of 24MB/sec
(86GB/hr).
Read Compatibility with DTF-1::
Can read tapes recorded by a GY-2120 at its transfer rate
of 24MB/sec, so users can now access their tape assets in half the time.
Powerful Error Correction::
Maintains a very low bit error rate of 1 x 10E-17 or
less.
Excellent Reliability::
Incorporates the following features: long-life amorphous
read heads, automatic head cleaning system, precision tape transport system
mounted on a rugged die-cast chassis, and sophisticated self-diagnostics.
Faster Data Access with Sony Tele-File(tm) System::
Sony's unique Tele-File system uses a non-contact type of
flash memory in the form of a label attached to a cassette which hold data
relating to both tape and system management.
