KEY TECHNOLOGY
HANDYCAM DVD Formats
Sony DVD Handycams offer you a wide choice of formats. Choose from DVD-R, DVD-RW or DVD+RW
depending on which format best suits your needs. Enjoy the flexibility of recording up to 120 minutes
(LP mode) on a double-sided disc or up to 60 minutes (LP mode) on a single-sided disc.
8cm DVD-R (1.4GB/2.8GB)
Creates a DVD menu and is
designed for single use. Perfect for
special events, as its write-once
only capability ensures that
your footage cannot be
accidentally erased.
HANDYCAM HDV (High-Definition Video)
Sony HDV Handycams capture video at 1080i
(i = interlaced) lines of resolution. This is the
same resolution as the highest quality High
Definition (HD) digital broadcasts in Australia.
With the rapid adoption of HD digital TV, it's
only natural that we want to capture our most
precious memories in the same HD quality.
The additional detail and clarity that HDV
1080i produces is simply amazing.
HANDYCAM AVCHD
AVCHD is a new Camcorder format developed specifically to deliver
pristine High Definition Video onto one of the new generation of
non-linear media such as DVD and HDD. AVCHD utilizes the
H.264 Advanced Video Codec which is extremely efficient thus
enabling incredibly sharp high resolution images at very low data
rates. With widely pledged support from other major consumer
Electronics Brands and Software Companies the AVCHD format
will undoubtedly become an important key technology.
High Definition AVCHD DVD discs such as those created in the new
HDRUX1 Handycam can be played in supporting Blu-ray players
including PLAYSTATION®3, a suitable DVD equipped PC with the
supplied AVCHD player software installed or in the camera itself
using HDMI or component connections to the TV.
Additionally, Standard Definition recording can be selected allowing
for the creation of standard DVD discs for playback in DVD players.
HANDYCAM Touch Screen
All Sony Handycams (except HDRFX1 and
HDRFX7) feature an LCD Touch Screen for
easy on-screen menu navigation. Reliable,
accurate, and designed specifically to
withstand regular usage.
Sony's Touch Screen system does away
with confusing buttons and dials on your
Handycam and provides an intuitive way to
use your camera.
Additionally, the Spot Focus and Spot Metering
functions, exclusive to Touch Screen, add
exceptional image control and flexibility to
your videos, even with entry-level models.

8cm DVD-RW (1.4GB/2.8GB)
In-camera editing when recording
in VR mode. Creates a DVD menu
when recording in video mode.
Rewriteable up to 1000 times.
For convenience, HDV records onto standard
MiniDV tapes while still maintaining the same
recording times as the MiniDV format. This is
achieved by using MPEG-2 compression – the
same compression technology used for HD digital
broadcasts and DVD. However a higher bit rate is
used to produce exceptional quality, for example,
a typical Hollywood DVD uses approximately
6Mb/s while HDV records at 25Mb/s.
Spot focus on foreground
Spot focus allows you to focus simply just by touching the LCD screen
8cm DVD+RW (1.4GB/2.8GB)
For HDRUX1 that records to DVD media a new double layer 8cm
DVD Disc (DVD+R DL) has been developed which virtually doubles
the available recording time.
Spot focus on background
Playback instantly with no
need to finalise the disc. A DVD
menu is created upon finalising.
Rewriteable up to 1000 times.
