Line 1: '''Advanced Intelligent Tape''' ('''AIT''') is a high-speed, high-capacity [[magnetic tape data storage]] format developed and controlled by [[Sony]]. It competes mainly against the [[Digital Linear Tape\|DLT]], [[Linear Tape-Open\|LTO]], [[Digital Data Storage\|DAT/DDS]], and [[VXA]] formats. AIT uses a cassette similar to [[Video8]]. '''Super AIT''' ('''SAIT''') is a higher capacity variant using wider tape in a larger, single-spool cartridge. Both AIT and SAIT use the [[helical scan]] method of reading and writing the tape. [[Image:AIT tapes.jpg\|thumb\|250px\|AIT tapes.]] Line 5: == Form factors == AIT technology ~~is now~~was available in two form factors. * AIT – 8 mm, dual reel cartridge, similar to Sony's 8 mm videotape products and Exabyte's 8 mm data tape products. * SAIT – 1/2", single reel cartridge, similar to [[Digital Linear Tape\|DLT]] and [[Linear Tape-Open\|LTO]]. In March 2010, Sony announced the discontinuation of the AIT product line, and renewed collaboration with [[Hewlett-Packard]] on further development of the [[digital data storage\|DDS tape format]],<ref>http://synergybroadcast.com/blog/?p=2370</ref> == Compatibility ==
