What is the maximum record time of the DVCAM Format?
Tapes are available up to a maximum of 3hrs on the DVCAM format. Smaller “handy cam” style DVCAM camera’s only accept the mini cassettes for fourty minutes of run time, but some camera’s accept the larger standard size for 3hrs of in camera recording and many camera’s actually have a dual mechanism that accept both cassette sizes. By professional standards this is more acquisition run time than ever before available in a professional format. And thanks to the small physical size of the mini, and even the larger standard size cassettes, archiving is a snap. In fact many broadcasters are choosing DVCAM to archive older 1″ master material and paying for the process just in space savings alone.
