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

-         MIC (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(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 (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   
         basefilm without adhesive or binders. The benefit from this AME technology is                
         maximum recording performance.
