■Main Features for Keeping Fresh and Vivid Memories – 1920x1080 Full High Definition throughout Imaging, Recording, and Playback

1.World’s First (*1) 8cm BD/DVD Drive (plus 30GB HDD for Hybrid model)

(1) Hitachi Original 8cm BD/DVD Drive

Hitachi developed a compact, low power consuming, and reliable 8cm BD/DVD drive which corresponds to five kinds of 8cm discs; BD-RE/-R, DVD-RAM/-RW/-R. (*1)

*1: BD camcorder BD/DVD drive does not comply with dual layer discs.

1)The drive carries two optical pick-ups for BD and DVD and a flat pick-up with

compact aberration correction function for BD. The size of the drive chassis 8cm BD/DVD Drive remains almost the same as the DVD camcorder drive.

2)The drive can record and playback full high definition. BD has approximately five times the capacity and approximately three times the rapid transfer rate compared with DVD.

3)Low power consumption by intermittent recording technology which is the combination of rapid recording on the disc and memory buffer function.

4)P-CAV (Partial-Constant Angular Velocity) Control Technology has been developed for rapid disc rotation speed essential for full high definition recording and also to maintain silence.

(2)8cm BD Recording

The camcorder can record record one hour of 1920x1080 pixels full high-definition video on a 8cm BD (single side, single layer 7.5GB) which is a convenient media to stock. BD-RE discs are re-writable, whereas BD-R discs can record once.

(3)Large Capacity 30GB HDD (DZ-BD7H)

1)“30GB HDD” can record long hours without caring about the remaining time on the media. 30GB HDD can record up to four hours of 1920x1080 pixels full high definition video (HX mode), or eight hours of 1440x1080 pixels high definition video (HS mode).

2)“Impact Resistant Damper” protects the HDD from shock and moderates

impact to 50%.

3)“Head Load/Unload Structure” removes head away from the disc when not in operation in order to prevent the head from touching the disc when impact is given to the HDD.

2.High Picture Quality Video Engineering for Shooting 1920x1080 Pixels Full High Definition

(1)Full High Definition Distortion-less Lens

10x zoom non-spherical lens has been developed to maintain compact body size. It captures 2400x1800 pixels still photo as well as 1920x1080 full high-definition video. The lens is multi-coated to prevent reflection, flare, or ghost images, and has gradation ND (neutral density) filter to prevent degrading of resolution caused by aperture of iris.

(2)CMOS Image Sensor for Full High Definition Video and Approximately 4.32 Mega Pixel Still Photo

Approximately 5.3 mega pixel CMOS Image Sensor co-developed with AltaSens, Inc. captures the true nature of the object in progressive format and has RGB primary color filter. CMOS image sensor is capable of reading pixel area randomly at a rapid speed essential for full high definition video imaging. (1920x 1080) It can capture still photo image at 2400x1800 pixels. Pixel size of the CMOS image sensor is 2.09µm, 1/2.8 inches in size, and total pixel size of approximately 5.3 mega pixel has electronic image stabilization function with is controlled outside the range of effective pixels.
