MICROMV™
Sony's first tape based consumer MPEG2
recording format. The MICROMV media
is 70% smaller than Mini DV media,
allowing camcorders to be even smaller,
while still providing high quality video
comparable to Mini DV.
MPEG2
MPEG2 (Motion Pictures Experts Group) is
a compression technology that is PC
friendly and provides video quality
comparable to DV. MPEG2 compression is
widely used in digital satellite broadcasting
and DVD players. PC editing has never
been easier than with the supplied MPEG2
compatible MovieShaker™ software
version 3.1.
1/6" Advanced HAD™ CCD, 680K Pixels
1/6" CCD with 680,000 pixels provides
stunning detail and clarity. The Advanced
HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD
allows more light to reach the imager which
reduces video noise to improve signal-to-
noise ratio by up to 6dB (2x better than a
standard CCD) which is particularly
effective when shooting in dark situations.
Resolution
Up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution
realized through a combination of
advanced optics, CCD imager and signal
processing technologies which result in a
higher level of video resolution.
Network Connectivity with Bluetooth™
Technology
Connect the camera wirelessly, via
Bluetooth™ enabled network
technology, to the Internet. This PC
free connection allows wireless transfer of
still images and MPEG1 movies, captured
on Memory Stick ® media, via the supplied
Bluetooth adapter (BTA-NW1). Images and
MPEG movies can be emailed to family and
friends, or shared via Sony's ImageStation
service on the World Wide Web. You can
