Handycam range, turn to pages 24-27.
14-bit DXP
A Sony megapixel Handycam
uses 14-bit DXP technology to
convert analogue light into digi-
tal signals with excellent levels
of detail. And it can even cor-
rect under- or over-exposed
shots.
Raw Data Noise Reduction
This new Sony technology
makes Advanced HAD more
effective than ever. It applies
noise reduction (NR) directly at
source to the original image
data, as your Handycam is
reading it off the CCD. With
quality like this, you’ll be proud
to show your movies to friends.
Inter-frame NR
This technology is only possible
because your Handycam can
work so fast. By quickly com-
paring successive frames, it
isolates and reduces the type
of signal noise that could
adversely affect colour and
luminance.

Filming in poor light can’t
always be avoided and leaves
lesser camcorders with ‘picture
noise’ – fuzzy footage that’s no
fun to watch. But a Sony
Digital Handycam uses
Advanced HAD to cut out fuzz
at the moment of conversion.
This technology means the
CCD can convert more light per
pixel, reducing picture noise by
up to 50%.
every single bit of data passed
on by the CCD – up to a huge
3 million pixels! By retaining
this data, the Resolution
Converter delivers unprece-
dented image quality.
Resolution Converter
When a Sony megapixel
Handycam converts light into
the Digital Video format, thanks
to our new ultra-high speed
signal processors, it can save
67,5 MHz
Speed is the key to digital clarity – and a Sony
Handycam processes your images phenomenally fast
