What
is
the
AVCHD
format?
The AVCHD format is a high-definition digital
video camera format used to record SO (standard
definition) or
HD
(high definition) signals
of
either
the I080i specification
*I
or
the
nop
specification*2 on DVDs, using efficient data
compression coding technology. The MPEG-4
AVC/H.264 format is adopted to compress video
data, and the Dolby Digital
or
Linear PCM system
is
used to compress audio data. The MPEG-4 A
VCI
H.264 format is capable
of
compressing images at
higher efficiency than that
of
the conventional
image compressing format. The MPEG-4 A
VCI
H.264 format enables a high definition (HD) video
signal shot on a digital video camera recorder to be
recorded on DVDdiscs, in the same way as it would
be for a standard definition (SO) television signal.
*1
A high-definition specification which utilizes
1080 effective scanning lines and the interlace
system.
*2 A high-definition specification which utilizes
no effective scanning lines and the progressive
system.
