 HDR-TD30V utilizes two Full HD sensors to capture true 1920x1080 3D video 
for a more immersive 3D experience. Most 3D cameras achieve the 3D affect by splitting a 
1920x1080 signal in to two 960x540 channels in order to squeeze them onto one sensor, thereby 
limiting resolution on the final output. 
3D Ready 3.5” Xtra Fine LCD™ display (1229K)
The LCD is also 3D ready, enabling you to view your 3D content directly on the camera’s LCD 
without the need for 3D glasses. The display delivers a more natural, realistic colors and easier 
viewing in bright conditions by reducing glare.
