| The HDV format uses the same recording track
pitch (10 µm) as DV, meaning that HDV also
offers track pitch compatibility with the DV format
and the same recording time. This remarkable HD
recording capability was achieved by developing
a new high-power MPEG codec system capable of maintaining
high-definition picture quality, while compressing
the data to 19.7 Mbps bit rate. With its superior
resolution and advanced processing, ProHD, adopting
the HDV format, delivers top performance in either
its native 16:9 HD mode or in the SD mode. The ability
of dual definition recordings that are superior
to competing SD-only products makes ProHD an ideal
choice for professionals not quite ready to make
the full transition to HD. |
