Long-time Recording to Memory
Stick PRO Duo
™
in both HD
and SD using Efficient Video
Compression
Memory Stick PRO Duo
offers the optimum
recording media for
the compact HXR-MC1P recorder.
In addition, the highly efficient
compression methods used in both HD
and SD modes achieve long recording
times, which make the most of Memory
Stick PRO Duo’s storage capacity.
In HD recording mode, video is recorded
in AVCHD, which uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264
compression –
the same method used in Blu-ray Disc
™
.
If SD recording mode is selected, video is
recorded in MPEG-2.
Recording Time (approximate)
Cutting-edge Image
Sensor Technology
The HXR-MC1P uses a 1/5” “Exmor”
CMOS sensor, which is also used in Sony
professional camcorders and high-end
D-SLR cameras.
This achieves low noise thanks to
multiple micro A/D (analogue to digital)
converters.
The image sensor in the HXR-MC1P also
uses the ClearVid pixel array, which has
45-degree rotated pixels. This unique
layout offers high picture quality while
keeping low-light sensitivity.
