ATOMM-II ultra-thin metal coating technology—
the key to compact size and high image quality
Introducing a complete line of DP Series products for conventional and digital HDTV broadcast use
DVCPRO is a high-efficiency digital component data-
compression recording system that uses a tape only 6.35mm
wide, making DVCPRO videocassettes the most compact
broadcast-use videocassettes in the world. For its DP Series
videocassettes, Fujifilm achieved the conflicting goals of
superior image quality and compact size by utilizing ATOMM-II*
technology to simultaneously apply an upper magnetic layer
and a lower non-magnetic layer to the tape base. Thanks to
ATOMM-II technology's ultra-thin upper layer of high-
performance magnetic particles, and its two-layer construction,
ATOMM-II Technology for
High-Density Digital Recording
Fujifilm's exclusive ATOMM technology is a special
coating process that simultaneously applies an ultra-thin
upper layer of high-energy metal magnetic particles and
a lower layer of ultra-fine non-magnetic particles.
Compared to the 2~5µm magnetic layer thickness of
conventional single-layer tapes, ATOMM technology
allows the creation of a high-density magnetic layer that
is only 0.1~0.5µm thick. Thanks to ATOMM technology,
Fujifilm is able to create the ultra-thin magnetic layer that
is essential for high-density digital recording. For its DP
Series, Fujifilm uses ATOMM-II technology, a more
advanced form of the same technology. Featuring high-
performance magnetic particles and a magnetic layer
that is only 0.2µm thick, ATOMM-II technology offers
high output, high C/N and a low error rate, providing
users with the dual benefits of high image quality and
compact size.
*ATOMM-II technology
ATOMM is an acronym for Advanced Super Thin Layer and High Output Metal Media technology
(hereinafter referred to as ATOMM technology and ATOMM-II technology).
Fujifilm was able to achieve previously unattainable recording
densities and a high level of reliability and durability. In addition,
Fujifilm has recently added high image quality, 4:2:2
compression ratio HDTV-compatible DVCPRO tapes to its DP
Series line-up. As a result, the Fujifilm DP Series now includes
tapes for broadcast-use applications ranging from conventional
to digital HDTV systems. In step with the rapid digitalization of
broadcast-use systems, Fujifilm's high standard of quality and
performance are now available to meet professional demands
on a complete range of DVCPRO systems
