Maxell XDCAM 50GB Professional Disc: PD711DL Dual Layer

High compatibility and durability for professional XDCAM recording

As the developer of Japan's first broadcast-use video tape in 1959, Fujifilm has long been a leader in the production of high-performance, high-reliability recording media for the broadcast industry. Fujifilm continues to innovate, and in 1990 received an Emmy Engineering Award for the significant contribution advanced metal tape technology has made to the broadcast industry. In 2007, Fujifilm introduced Fujifilm PD711 Professional Discs single layer (23GB) and they have been well-accepted in the broadcast industry. To meet the need for higher capacity, Fujifilm PD711 dual layer disc (50GB) is available.

Outstanding Durability Under Heavy Professional Use

High-quality materials and advanced production technologies assure outstanding disc durability and rewriting stability, with ultra-low error rates even after 1,000 overwrites.

User-friendly Pre-formatted Disc

As the disc is pre-formatted, recording can begin immediately. Therefore, the Fujifilm PD711 will help users save time and decrease the risk of missing important shots while waiting for their disc to format.

Characteristics for FUJIFILM Professional Dual Layer Disc

By adopting recording layer which is appropriate for high density recording and dual recording layers structure on one side, FUJIFILM has realized 50GB recording capacity. At the same time, FUJIFILM has realized low error rate and ultra wide power margin at both layers with Super Advanced Rapid Cooling Structure.
