Dual format recording
Full HD videos are great for watching on HD
TVs. But should you want to email the video or
share it online, the large HD file will have to be
compressed and converted into an email-
friendly format. Your camcorder takes away
that hassle by offering dual format recording.
Turn the feature on and your videos are
recorded in two formats simultaneously – full
HD (1080p) and email-friendly QWVGA
(240p) formats. This lets you enjoy your videos
to the fullest on your HD TV, and gives you a
format you can immediate share electronically.
Full HD (1080p) videos
Capture and enjoy videos in full high definition
quality (full HD 1080p). "1080" refers to the
display resolution, in terms of the number of
horizontal lines on screen. “p” stands for
progressive scan, or the sequential appearance
of the lines in each frame. 1080p gives video
quality that is superior to that found in typical
mobile phones and digital cameras. In addition,
the camcorder uses the same video format as
Blu-ray players and discs – H.264. This highly
sophisticated format delivers superb HD
picture quality, letting you savor crystal clear
memories on video.
Quick sharing
With the built-in Windows software, you can
post your movies on websites like YouTube,
Facebook, Twitter and Vimeo with no fuss. For
Mac users, you can easily organize, edit and
share with iMovie from iLife. With an advanced
compression technique, the HD video format
(H.264) used by the Philips camcorder can
generate smaller files than those from standard
camcorders, digital cameras and mobile
phones without any loss in video quality, so
you can share them faster! These files can also
be used by other programs like iPhoto and
Windows Movie Maker.
