Sony’s latest HD Handycam

®

 camcorders feature a groundbreaking

new colour technology known as x.v.Colour. This innovative

technology complies with the recently adopted “xvYCC” (eXtended

Video YCC) international colour standard to produce almost 100%

of colours the human eye can perceive. With x.v.Colour, your

entertainment experience will be changed forever as you enjoy a

previously unseen world full of rich and vibrant colours never before

captured by any other camcorders.

One of the most precious things in life is our memories. Truly precious moments such as your newborn baby’s smile, your child’s first birthday, or your

exotic honeymoon vacation are moments that once gone are lost forever. As the dawn of a generation of High Definition (HD) is upon us, you’ll want

to capture these memories in the best detail possible to ensure they last through the ages. By safekeeping these special moments in HD for your baby

to enjoy once he’s grown, you’ll be able to relive these joyous occasions over and over again in perfect clarity for generations to come. Choose HD,

they will thank you for it.

Feel More of Every Moment

in

 Full High Definition

By combining more effective scanning lines with a greater pixel count, you receive beautiful videos with up to 4.5 times the video data quantity of

Standard Definition (SD). These sharp images really bring out the impact of the subject matter for a difference that is immediately noticeable.

Capture a World with

More Colours

Wider Colour Range

Through adopting a wider colour range based on the “xvYCC”

colour standard, x.v.Colour is able to display colours that were

impossible to capture or display using conventional colour standards.

When compared to the conventional sRGB colour standard,

x.v.Colour presents nearly twice the colour range for dramatically

brighter and more colourful images.

More Natural Colours

By using an intelligent algorithm designed to more accurately specify the colours of nature, x.v.Colour is able to display a wide range of

colours that is closer to human vision. With this true-to-life colour production, you can now enjoy your video and imaging with colours

accurately depicting those seen in person, making the colours in the picture come to life.
