Newly developed Standard DV/Mini DV
compatible mechanism
Featuring a reel motor in addition to the capstan motor, as
well as a new double-tension system, this new mechanism
not only provides improved tape running stability and
horizontal/vertical operation, it can accommodate both
Standard DV and Mini DV format cassettes without any
adapter. Designed to professional standards, this mechanism
also facilitates high-speed operation, including higher speed
search and FF/REW at speeds up to 100x. Cuing operations
are also faster and more accurate. This mechanism also
features a built-in active/mechanical low-noise head cleaner
that automatically cleans the heads each time a tape is
loaded and the mode is changed.
