PG 17 #11665 Media Report A4 5/4/02 12:07 pm Page 19 DTRS ADAT HHB’s new DTRS tape is double coated for exceptionally high output, increased carrier to noise ratio and the low block error rates necessary to avoid the interpolation and muting problems often associated with conventional Hi8 media, particularly in 24-bit/96kHz applications. The complicated transport of the S-VHS format puts an DA30DC Double coated, Tascam approved 30 minute DTRS tape. Packed in a library case. ADAT tape through hell, particularly during repeated high speed shuttling. That’s why HHB’s new ADAT tape is back coated to assist smoother tape handling, minimising the tape pack slack A rugged binder compound enhances the durability of the that can cause inferior tapes to break. Block error rates magnetic layer, while the non-magnetic layer is remain consistently low, thanks to an ultra-fine metal impregnated with lubricant. A flexible back-coating keeps particle magnetic layer and a specially formulated binder friction low during high-speed shuttling. which stops the oxide shedding.
