Video Camera: Digital Video Cameras

The SANYO HD2 high-definition digital video camera features an accelerated frame rate in the HD mode that is more than four times faster than earlier digital cameras. Transmitting data at 9 megabits per seconds ensures that camera and subject motion are smooth and natural, without the image lag or distortion that might occur in slower-responding systems.

JVC has chosen 1.3-inch hard drives for three new digital video cameras, since the aim is to be among the smallest in the palmcorder class while still having good optics. Designed to be about 20% lighter than the previous models, the GZ-MG740, 730 and 530 will nestle in your palm and give you 10x optical zoom and about an hour and a half of MPEG2 recording as well as 5-7 megapixel stills of whatever you fancy. more

The combined programmable logic and processor capabilities of Altera's embedded processors make them the right choice for implementing controllers in digital video cameras. The Nios® II family of embedded processors are configurable RISC processors implemented in programmable logic devices (PLDs) such as Stratix II, Stratix, Stratix II GX, and Stratix GX FPGAs.

Digital video cameras store video as digital bits on a mini-DV or micro-MV tape, as opposed to analog cameras that record a continuous signal. It's similar to the difference between an old record album and a CD.
