information as conventional standard-definition images. For starters, compare the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

number of scan lines. HDTV has 1,080 horizontal scan lines, SDTV has 576. That

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

translates into much higher resolution and much finer detail. Pictures are so clear and

sharp, you can see the textures in an image. Also, HD uses a 16:9 aspect ratio, so the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

pictures you record have proportions that more closely match the human field of vision.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This means that viewing is more natural and comfortable. The HD revolution is well

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

under way, and Panasonic is helping to lead the way with HD video cameras, TVs, and

AVCHD is a standard developed jointly by Sony and Panasonic for HD digital video cameras. Using highly efficient codec technologies, it records 1080i high-definition signals onto media such as 8-cm DVD discs and SD/SDHC Memory Cards. AVCHD allows an HD video camera to make long-time recordings of high-density video information onto a DVD disc or SD/SDHC Memory Card.

High-definition video cameras deliver incredibly realistic images that draw the viewer into an exciting new world, and proprietary Panasonic technologies have reached new heights in HD quality. The beautiful images recorded by a Panasonic high-definition video camera will bring back the emotion of the moment again and again, even years from now. A new peak in HD image quality —— Experience it in DVD or SD/SDHC Memory Card style.
