Resolution: Choosing It
The SportsCam can record at two different resolutions: 720p ( 1280 x
720 ) and 1080p ( 1920 x 1080 ). To select your resolution, use the switch
on the rear panel of the camera.
Why would you want to record at a lower resolution?
Believe it or not, there are actually a few really good reasons to record at
720p. Here are a couple, presented in reverse order of pretentiousness:
• It’s very, very slightly more retro, and (ergo) cooler. (Hipsters only.)
• Not everyone can playback 1080p
- many TV’s (even some
marked “HD” can’t playback 1080p - most systems that can will
claim “ Full HD ” or “ 1080p ” somewhere on the unit or the packaging
(most likely both).
• If your TV supports 1080i but
not
1080p (again, this will be written
on it somewhere), then playback of 720p may actually have a
slightly higher vertical resolution (720 lines versus 540) when
displaying rapid motion.
• 720p is often less prone to artefacting
when recording rapid
motion than 1080p.
• 720p uses less space than 1080p
- so, if you’re trying to get the
most possible out of your memory card, then it’s a good option.
1080p requires approximately 8000 ~ 13000kbps, whereas 720p
uses 4000 ~ 8000kbps (it varies by your
Quality
setting). You’ll get
about 40 minutes of 1080p to the same space as 1 hour of 720p.
