Setting the White Balance Recording with Preset Custom White Balance The camcorder uses an electronic white balance process to calibrate the picture for accurate color display under different lighting conditions. In addition to the fully automated mode, white balance modes include an indoor mode, an outdoor mode, a color temperature setting and two user-defined custom preset values.
Recording a Still Image on a Memory Card While Recording Movies on a Tape Still images recorded while recording movies on tape are shot using the normal video color space of YUV 4:2:2. This is useful so that the stills have the same color as the video.
1080i HDV format video is an industry ratified MPEG2 video encoding standard with an interlaced resolution of 1440 horizontal anamorphic pixels by 1080 vertical pixels and uses a color sampling rate of 4:2:0 with a 25mbps data rate. Audio is recorded at a bitrate of 384kb/s using MPEG-1 Layer 2 compression.
The XH A1 can record High Definition video at HDV 1080i (1440 x 1080 via IEEE-1394 or HDV tape) or standard definition NTSC compatible at 480i (720 X 480 pixels). 720P high definition mode is not supported. The HDV standard supports recording using color sampling of 4:2:0
