Panasonic's SQ-Series tapes are screened using highly stringent error rate standards in order to minimize errors. This gives them the high-quality image and sound recording capability that is demanded in tapes for professional use.

The magnetic particles on SQ Series tapes are coated with four times the density of previous tapes, using a unique high-density deposition technology developed by Panasonic. This gives them the industry's top level of output, and makes them ideal for recordings that simply cannot be re-shot, such as wedding ceremonies and other important events.



Maintain high quality recording even after 1,000 times.
Suitable for repeated heavy use by recording, editing, copying.

The precision engineered cassette shell is molded of ABS resin, which prevents warping and provides tough impact resistance and durability.
The anti-static cassette lid treatment repels dust, debris, and contaminants, minimizing dropouts. A paper label comes already affixed, allowing for quick and easy writing.

A soft material that won't break if dropped is used for the cassette case. The 2-way lid construction lets you easily extract the tape with one hand, even while shooting.

Standard-type professional DV tapes.
