• AVCHD is a new standard for recording HD signals onto memory cards, DVD discs, and hard disks. It uses the H.264 standard to achieve more than
twice the compression of conventional MPEG2 and MPEG4 standards. • AVCHD motion images recorded onto an SD Memory Card or a DVD disc cannot
be played from a device that does not support the AVCHD standard. • Do not insert a disc containing AVCHD-recorded images into a device that does
not support the AVCHD standard. The disc cannot be played on such a device, and it may not be possible to remove the disc once inserted.
High Definition – A Future of Beautiful Memories
High Definition vs. Standard Definition: What's the Difference?
HD images contain 5 times as much information as
standard images. HDTV has 1,080 horizontal scan
lines, SDTV has 576. That translates into much higher
resolution and much finer detail. With HD images on
an HDTV, pictures are so clear and sharp that you
can see textures. The shift in the industry from SDTV
to HDTV is well under way. For shooting once-in-a-
lifetime scenes that you want to capture in full beauty
and enjoy forever, an HD camcorder is the best choice.
