3 Introduction Enjoying High-Definition Video Preserve your most treasured memories, be it unforgettable scenery or cherished moments spent with family and friends, with high-definition video recordings of a quality second only to actually being there. What is High-Definition Video? High-definition video (HDV) allows you to record video of unparalleled high quality on regular miniDV tapes. HDV is composed of 1,080 horizontal lines -that is more than twice the number of horizontal lines and approximately 4 times the number of pixels in standard-definition TV broadcasts- resulting in eye-catching colors and richly detailed video recordings. 1,080 lines How to play back your HDV recordings? On a high-definition TV (HDTV) ( 66) HDV recordings will be played back in their original high quality. On standard definition TVs ( 67) HDV recordings will be down-converted to match the resolution of the TV set. What is the Cinema Mode? Give your recordings a cinematic look by using the [ CINE MODE] recording program ( 43). Combine this recording mode with the high- definition, 25 fps progressive frame rate [ HDV(PF25)] ( 36) to get the enhanced effect of the 25p Cinema Mode.
