I. Details of development
The environment which surrounds a digital reflection has evolved every day. People who daily use the image have increased by enhancing of the communication infrastructure and upgrading the communications consideration which centers on the young man layer. The record media have evolved from the tape to the disk and the semiconductor memory in the background of needs for the equipment which can be easily used because it is small, too.

Sanyo Electric; *** "Camera to be able to enjoy a beautiful photograph and the movie with one" <since DSC-V100 which had been put on the market in 1998"Still&Motion"> was proposed to the development concept and [it] came.; As for the style "The impression transmitted while mainly taking a picture because of movement and the sound is easily left by the movie", the customer of about 50% of the purchase reason is supported by the top enumeration of the animation taking a picture function (From the those who buy the movie digital camera questionnaire of our company).

Our company newly adopts MPEG-4 as an image compression method this time. *** Current movie <"> digital camera" I will concentrate the technology which cultivates it by development, and put SD digital movie “Xacti DMX-C1" of a new style on the market.

This product is minimum in the world and lightest. ※1The not only?but, it is easy to have by one hand, and achieves the record of the high picture quality movie for a long time and the high pitched sound quality stereo voice record though a compact body which adopts "Ergonomics style" which takes a picture easily.

A novel design by which the angle is applied to a big diameter zoom lens and a slim body is "Ergonomics style" which has easily by one hand based on the idea of the human engineering, and takes a picture easily.

On the other hand, the specification that there is no compromise in two uses to which [it] was able to take a picture of high minute photograph during the VGA size and 30 frames/second even by the print output of the Japanese syllabary high picture quality movie and the A4 size with the efficient optics 5.8 time primary color CCD for effective 3,200,000 pixel four pixel mixture animation and developed newly zoom lens on the performance side was achieved.

※1: With a digital household use video camera (our company examination by 2003.10.1 beings) with the number of VGA or more of movie record pixels.



(2) The first in the world※2High picture quality (VGA/30fps) MPEG-4 method is adopted, and the record for a long time is achieved on the SD memory card.

*** The first time in the world. the high picture quality movie record of 30 frames <VGA size by MPEG-4 method>/second※2To achieve it, codec of MPEG-4 and image processing system LSI for MPEG-4 are newly developed. When 512(MB SD memory card which achieves the ratio and about 5 times record in the past for a long time in our company on the SD memory card is used, about continuousness 30 minutes. ※3)。The MPEG-4 method of this product conforms to the ISO standard which is the world standard. Moreover, for about one hour if you use the SD memory card of 1GB to which the sale is scheduled※3[It] drinks and the 高(unknown word) picture quality movie can be recorded.

The movie record mode prepares five kinds. [It] sees with the television, [it] uses with the personal computer, and we can use it properly freely as opening in Internet to the public etc. according to user's use purpose.
