Canon HV10
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Canon HV10 is a consumer high definition video (HDV) camcorder manufactured by Canon released in September 2006
[edit] Specifications
The HV10 features both HDV and DV recording. DV can be recorded in both 4:3 and 16:9 formats. In Europe, the camcorder is called the HV10E and features PAL DV recording in addition to HDV 1080i50 mode. The HV10 does 1080i60 and NTSC. It can capture video at the full 1920 × 1080 interlaced resolution, however the horizontal resolution is reduced when it is stored to tape in the HDV standard of 1440 × 1080 resolution.
[edit] Usage
Users have found ways to create 720 × 540 progressive video from this camera by simply discarding the odd numbered fields of the interlaced video and resizing the horizontal to 50% using even freeware video software. This lends itself to superior progressive quality anamorphic DVDs similar to Hollywood film sourced DVDs but with a higher frame rate of 30 frames per second. 720 × 480 (for NTSC) anamorphic video can be created by resizing 540 to 480 scan lines (a 88.88% scaling factor) which will play at the 16:9 aspect ratio of anamorphic full resolution DVDs.
