Combining the functionality of a digital camera and a digital camcorder, The Sanyo VPC-HD1a Xacti digital media camera with 10x optical zoom is a high-definition compact digital media device. This powerful little device is designed to record both 720-pixel high-definition video and snap 5.1-megapixel digital still images, all of which are handily stored to a standard SD flash memory card.
The high-precision LSI (large-scale integration) for image processing is the real "muscle" behind the Xacti HD1a's ability to record high-definition video. This powerful "high-definition engine" processes a massive number of calculations in a short period of time and enables the HD1a's high-definition 720p processing, real-time MPEG-4 compression, and noise reduction.
The HD1a is able to create high-definition 720p (1280 x 720 pixels) videos at 30 frames per second. Thats up to three times more pixels than standard conventional video cameras. It features Sanyo's proprietary high-definition engine to execute a vast number of calculations in a short period of time. This high-definition engine enables the Xacti HD1a's advanced image processing functions such as real-time MPEG-4 compression, noise reduction and high-definition processing.
