Supply of Sony LTO, Blu-ray Running Low
The supply of Sony’s professional videotape started getting tight within days of the earthquake that rocked Northern Japan. Users are reporting a shortage of HDCAM SR tape particularly, because there are no ready substitutes. However, the supply of all types of magnetic professional videotape is tight, according to Mark Schubin, engineer in charge at New York’s Metropolitan Opera. Daly and Cullen of Media Distributors said several Sony formats were affected: HDCAM SR, HDCAM, DVCAM, Betacam SP, Digital Betacam, Betacam IMX, Betacam SX, XDCAM SxS, LTO, Blu-ray, DV and HDV.
