Exmor CMOS Sensor – Cutting Edge Image Sensor Technology
The same Exmor CMOS sensor, which is also in professional
camcorders and high-end D-SLR cameras, is used in the
HXR-MC1/ACC. It achieves low noise by multiple micro
A/D (analog to digital) converters. The image sensor in the
HXR-MC1/ACC is also uses a ClearVid™ pixel array which
has 45-degree rotated pixels. This unique layout offers high
picture quality with low-light sensitivity.
Long-time Recording to “Memory Stick PRO Duo
Media by Efficient Video Compression for HD and SD
Memory Stick PRO Duo media is the optimal recording media for
the compact HXR-MC1/ACC control unit. The camera's highly
efficient compression methods used in both HD and SD modes
achieve long recording times, which make the most of Memory
Stick PRO Duo media's storage capacity.
In HD recording mode, video is recorded in AVCHD, which uses
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression – the same method used in
Blu-ray Disc™ technology.
If SD recording mode is selected, video is recorded in MPEG-2.
