Switchable HDV/DV Recording The HDR-FX1 is capable of recording and playing back both high-definition and standard-definition video recorded on standard MiniDV cassettes. Real-Time HD Codec Engine Sony developed a real-time MPEG encoding/decoding system with reduced energy consumption and a compact size to fit inside a personal camcorder. Provides efficient MPEG-2 compression and recording and playback of clear HD images at the same bit rate of the DV format, so that high-definition video can be recorded on the same cassettes as are used for MiniDV recording.

This provides outstanding sound quality even when compressed. In the standard DV format, audio is recorded in either 12- or 16-bit PCM digital stereo for audio quality that rivals that of a CD. i.LINK2 DV Interface (IEEE1394) High-speed, bidirectional digital video/audio communication between two compatible devices equipped with IEEE1394 interfaces, including camcorders, digital VCRs, and PCs. Manual Iris Control By turning the iris dial on the side of the camera, the user can manually adjust the amount of light entering the lens. The iris is adjustable from f1.6 to f11, in 24 steps. CineFrame Recording Provides the option of recording video at either 25 frames per second or the filmlike 25 fps Analog/Digital Conversion with Pass-Through Convert or record any analog PAL video source to digital video via the analog inputs. Analog PAL video can also be passed through the digital handycam directly into a computer via the i.LINK2 interface--in real time, for easy computer editing of your analog footage. What's in the Box?

Third party editing software Along with the announcement of the HDR-FX1, Apple Computer is announcing support for the HDV spec with their popular video editing program, Final Cut. "Native HDV support in future releases of Final Cut will enable our customers to create high quality HD content with affordable HDV cameras, including Sony's much anticipated HDR-FX1 camcorder," said Rob Schoeben, Apple's Vice President of Applications Marketing. Adobe has also stated that they will be releasing an HDV plug-in for their popular Premiere editing system later this year. "The Sony HDR-FX1 is a milestone product, bringing HD-quality video at resolutions of up to 1080i at a price that will encourage widespread adoption of HDV across the industry. In keeping with our commitment to lead the HD revolution, Adobe plans to release a HDV Plug-in for Adobe® Premiere® Pro later this year," said Steve Saylor, Vice President, Digital Imaging and Video, Adobe Systems, Inc. Avid, Canopus, Ulead and Pinnacle also announced support for HDV. Editing support has been a big issue for HDV in the past, with third party companies supplying solutions for Final Cut and Adobe Premiere.
