This powerful little device is designed to reputation both 720-pixel high-definition video and snap 5.1-megapixel digital still images, all of which are easily stored to a standard SD flash memory card. The high-literalism LSI (large-scale integration) for image processing is the real "tendon" behind the Xacti HD1's ability to record high-definition video. This powerful "stiff-definition engine" processes a massive number of calculations in a in a word period of time and enables the HD1's high-definition 720-pixel processing, honest-time MPEG-4 compression, and noise reduction.
The HD1 features a top-of-the-information screen with an incredibly clear 2.2-inch, Sanyo-developed Natural Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) display with 210,000 overall pixels.
