What is Microdrive
®
?
The roughly half-an-ounce (16 grams) matchbook-sized 1" Microdrive
®
is
compatible with a wide variety of devices that accept Compa Type II
and PC Card Type II media. With JVC initially offering 4GB Microdrives, the
boom in the most popular portable audio players, digital cameras and need
for portable storage are driving Microdrive
®
manufacturers toward even
higher capacity and lower cost.
Shoot up to 60 minutes in Video Camera mode of high quality MPEG-2 videos on the supplied 4GB
Microdrive
®
. A selection of recording modes lets you choose more quality or more shooting time. The highest
quality ULTRA mode records at a constant bit rate of 8.88 Mbps with AC 3 audio
*1
— comparable to the DVD
(average 4 Mbps video/9.8 Mbps maximum) data rate — for essentially DVD quality with the same video and
audio format as a movie DVD. And the 2.12 Megapixel CCD
*2
offers the high-resolution capabilities needed for
high-end digital videography.
