Digital Video Recording Offering higher resolution, wider color bandwidth, and lower noise than virtually any other analog format. Advanced 'HAD' CCD Technology High quality HAD design CCD imager that reduces noise in the video signal to improve signal-to-noise ratio by up to 2X that of conventional CCDs. Particularly effective when shooting in dark situations. Progressive Scan CCD System Progressive Scan CCDs capture a complete frame of video rather than interlacing two separate fields to produce a video frame. This high performance system eliminates the stair stepping effect that can be seen in standard interlaced systems when capturing still images. Images will be sharp and clear with excellent definition. Up to 530 Lines of horizontal video resolution Using 3 Advanced HAD CCDs combined with advanced design technologies, the DCR-VX2000 provides stunning performance of up to 530 horizontal lines of resolution. 58mm Aspherical Lens Professional quality glass optics provides exceptional detail and clarity with none of the geometric distortion associated with large spherical lenses. 12X Optical/48X Precision Digital Zoom Helps bring the action close up from far away. Precision Digital Zoom technology means that extreme digital zooming is cleaner and clearer than ever before, with less blocking and distortion than most other types of digital zoom. Optical Super SteadyShot® Picture Stabilization Eliminates high frequency shake and vibration without compromising picture quality. Uses motion sensors and optical lenses that do not change or degrade the quality like some other stabilization systems. 16:9 Widescreen recording Allows the user to record in a true 'widescreen' or anamorphic aspect ratio. When used with a 16:9 widescreen compatible TV the camcorder is able to display a similar aspect ratio to that of popular films without having to crop off the top and bottom and losing important data and resolution. 1/4 to 1/10,000 Shutter Speeds (AE Mode) Allows the user to customize shutter speed settings for almost any environment to ensure the best possible picture or to achieve a desired effect. 2 Position Neutral Density Filter Compensates for unique lighting situations such as studio lights or direct sunlight. 12/16 Bit PCM Digital Audio with Audio Dub 16-bit recording capability offers the same, outstanding sound quality as Compact Disc. 12-bit dubbing capability enables you to add additional stereo music or narration without disturbing the original soundtracks. Interval Recording Allows the user to record video in preset intervals that range from every 30 sec, 1, 5, 10 minutes for selectable lengths of .5, 1, 1.5 or 2 seconds. Frame Recording Modes Allows recording of any individual frame of the 30 frames that make up one second of video. LP Recording Enables up to 90 minutes of recording on a 60-minute Mini DV cassette. 6 Picture Effects For creative enhancements, choose from Slim, Stretch, Solarization, Monotone, Sepia and Negative Art. 5 Digital Effects Provide expanded digital creative effect options. Choose from Old Movie, Luminance Key, Flash Motion, Still, and Trail. Manual mic level control Allows the user to set the microphone record level in order to achieve optimum sound quality. Still Imaging Features Memory Mode Digital Still camera function using Memory Stick® Digital Media Capture VGA resolution (640 x 480) still images and store them on removable Memory Stick storage media. A 4MB Memory Stick supplied. Memory Mix Allows the user to super-impose a still image that has been recorded to a Memory Stick on top of the video you are recording. There are three different effects in the Memory Mix Mode: -Memory Chroma key -Memory Luminance key -Camera Chroma key 640 x 480 still image resolution Large, detailed resolution provides exceptional still image quality that is ideal for website or email applications.
