AVCHD format
The AVCHD format is a high definition digital video camera format used to record a
high definition (HD) signal of either the 1080i specification
1)
or the 720p specification
2)
using efficient data compression coding technology. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is
adopted to compress video data, and the Dolby Digital or Linear PCM system is used to
compress audio data.
The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is capable of compressing images at higher efficiency
than that of the conventional image compressing format. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264
format enables a high definition video signal shot on a digital video camera recorder to
be recorded on 8 cm DVD discs, hard disk drive, flash memory, memory card, etc.
Discs recorded with HD (high definition) image quality can be played back only on
AVCHD format-compatible devices. DVD-based players or recorders cannot play back
HD image quality discs, as they are incompatible with the AVCHD format. Also, DVD-
based players or recorders may fail to eject HD image quality discs.
Recording and playback on your camera
Based on the AVCHD format, your camera records with the high definition image
quality (HD) mentioned below.
