Sony SDX5400C AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape) format is intelligently engineered to stand apart - no other tape cartridge features both a MIC chip (the brains) and a pure metal magnetic layer designed for maximum capacity and longevity (the brawn).

• MIC SDX5400C(Memory in Cassette)- the AIT cartridges feature a built-in flash memory chip that stores directory and operational information. The result is rapid access to desired data and greatly reduced loading and ejection times.

• DLC SDX5400C(Diamond-Like Carbon) Coating- the tape surface is protected by a smooth carbon coating that is nearly as hard as diamond and 20 times harder than metal oxides. The benefit is maximum reliability and life.

• AME SDX5400C (Advanced Metal Evaporated) Tape- Now Sony delivers 100% pure cobalt for high retentivity. Patented process for depositing a pure metal magnetic layer directly on the base film without adhesive or binders. The benefit of this AME technology is maximum recording performance.
