A revolution in form and function, the HDR-FX1 allows you to play and record interlaced high-definition video at resolutions up to 1440_1080 for professional-quality video with vivid colors and striking detail. The camera even offers the ability to switch to standard DV recording and playback as the situation warrants.
The HDR-FX1 features the Real-Time HD Codec Engine, which offers professional-level MPEG-2 video compression, and a 14-bit HD DXP (digital extended processor) for increased processing speed. Images are captured on a three-chip advanced HAD CCD system that provides increased detail and improved video performance without the color bleeding found in other systems.
The HDR-FX1 includes three 1/3-inch 16:9 1.12 Megapixel gross CCDs. Each CCD measures 960 x 1080 pixels. The inclusion of three large CCDs is a major difference between the Sony and JVC's first entry - and will likely allow the HDR-FX1 to be taken very seriously by the industry. The pixels on the CCD are not square, but oblong, which allows them to shoot 16:9 aspect ratio video. The HDR-FX1 also includes a 12x optical Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens, a 3.5-inch LCD screen, a zoom ring, focus ring, iris / aperture ring, as well as buttons for manual control of most picture functions.
