DVM is the mini DV cassette designed for all mini digital video devices. It's outstanding formulation, coupled to its high degree of durability and reliability, make it the ideal choice for digital VCR's that comply with the SD format. TDK's DVM utilizes a specially developed protective DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) tier above the evaporated magnetic layer to withstand the relatively high head-to-tape speeds employed in the mini DV system. Such technology means that TDK's DVM is highly suited to both indoor and outdoor applications.
