Sony DCR-IP7BT BROCHURE

MICROMV™

Sony’s first tape based consumer MPEG2 recording format. The MICROMV media is 70% smaller than Mini DV media, allowing camcorders to be even smaller, while still providing high quality video comparable to Mini DV.

MPEG2

MPEG2 (Motion Pictures Experts Group) is a compression technology that is PC friendly and provides video quality comparable to DV. MPEG2 compression is widely used in digital satellite broadcasting and DVD players. PC editing has never been easier than with the supplied MPEG2 compatible MovieShaker™ software version 3.1.

1/6" Advanced HAD™ CCD, 680K Pixels

1/6" CCD with 680,000 pixels provides stunning detail and clarity. The Advanced HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD allows more light to reach the imager which reduces video noise to improve signal-tonoise ratio by up to 6dB (2x better than a standard CCD) which is particularly effective when shooting in dark situations.

Resolution

Up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution realized through a combination of advanced optics, CCD imager and signal processing technologies which result in a higher level of video resolution.

➤

Network Connectivity with Bluetooth™ Technology

Connect the camera wirelessly, via Bluetooth™ enabled network

technology, to the Internet. This PC free connection allows wireless transfer of still images and MPEG1 movies, captured on Memory Stick

media, via the supplied Bluetooth adapter (BTA-NW1). Images and MPEG movies can be emailed to family and friends, or shared via Sony's ImageStation

service on the World Wide Web. You can even browse the Internet wirelessly.
