Camcorder of the Future Shoots 360-Degrees of High Definition

This is kind of an astounding pixel catching setup, pulling in 360-degrees of 1080i video within a vertical plane of 50 degrees. BTW, 1080i is not that impressive, and maybe even necessary when doing a wrap-around picture. In the not-close future, expect a Gizmodo post on a version that does 4k pixel count in a complete circle (including vertical planes), using an array of lenses/cameras. Where to hide the cable and camera man then? [TechOnvia Gadgetlab]

Canon HG10 is World's Smallest Hard Disk-Based HD Camcorder

Canon jumped into the hard disk camcorder market today with its HG10, the company's first high-definition hard drive camcorder and the world's smallest, weighing 19.92 ounces with the battery inside. That 40GB hard disk gives you 5.5 hours of AVCHD recording at its highest quality setting, compressing the video at 15Mbps. If our sneak preview of this camcorder is any indication, that's going to result in some sweet-looking high definition footage. Here are our impressions.

Helios H2000 Player Turns DVD Video to Pseudo-HD on the Cheap

The price of upscaling video free-falls even more with the Helios H2000 upscaling DVD player. Sure, this one can only crank your video up to 1080i, but its $99 price makes that quite an attractive option. It can also handle XviD, the efficient video format that's one of our favorites, and also popular among those who, uh, compress a lot of their own videos at home. More »

Latest by Aznbuddy: They don't say it anywhere on the website, until you encounter a problem: Helios players will not upscale to 1080p on some HDTVs. Which ones? It's the one you're currently having problems with. I returned mine and got a proper Toshiba more »

Hands-On: Canon's HR10 HD Camcorder Records on DVDs in Full 1080i

Canon today rolled out its HR10 HD camcorder, which lays down 1080i images on a DVD. Using its 10x optical zoom lens, it acquires its footage using a full HD 1920x1080 CMOS image sensor, and records in the AVCHD (Advanced Video Codec High Definition) video format onto an ordinary DVD. Except for that DVD recording, it's just about the same camera as Canon's tape-based HV20 HD camcorder, with image stabilization, 3.1-megapixel still image capture and a 2.7-inch LCD widescreen viewfinder.

The plot thickens in the HD consumer camcorder arena, where now Panasonic tops itself with a true 1920x1080i upgrade to its now already-obsolete HDC-SD1 and HDC-DX1 HD camcorders, calling this latest pair the HDC-SD3 and HDC-DX3. More »

Sony Doesn't Solve PS3 1080i Scaling Problem, But Makes a Lame Attempt

Someday the PlayStation 3 will be able to upscale native 720p games to 1080i for those whose sets don't support 720p, and it looks like the latest SDK almost solves the problem. Game developers for the PS3 will now be able to access a hardware scaler to allow 720p games to automatically scale to 1080i, but the frustrating part is that it's only limited to horizontal scaling.

LG DN191H Upconverting DVD/DivX Player Hands-On

At a price of under $100—and possibly under $80 if you look in the right place—the LG DN191H is a pretty thrifty option for upconverting your old media. With an HDMI connection (not component), the 191 will play back DVDs at up to 1080i, provided you've got an HDTV. More »

Onkyo Wavio MP-1000J Portable AV Hard Drive Enclosure Keeps the Kids Quiet On Long Trips

Onkyo is better known for its fancy home entertainment equipment than its portable gear, but don't let that stop you from taking a look at the Wavio MP-1000J, a portable 2.5-inch hard drive with AV outputs. Imagine how many times you wished you had a way to transport some highly illegal Xvid to your friend's house but had no way of putting it on the big screen (horrors!). You're too cool for an iPod, so bringing the actual hard drive is the next best thing. More »

HDBeat: We Don't Need No Stinking 1080p

Matt Burns over at HDBeat tells us how it is, and how it's gonna be, when it comes to the two high line-count HD formats:
How can you tell the difference between 1080i and 1080p? You probably can't.

He goes on to explain that most flat TVs today will deinterlace a signal anyhow. Matt's reasoning is solid, if you're into logic and stuff.
Matt, you may be right, but you're seriously underestimating how much we gadget geeks like to flex our specs.– Brian Lam More »

Latest by rbf2000: Sony's line of 1080p TVs don't even accept a 1080p signal! If you have a blu-ray player that outputs 1080p, the sony TV downconverts the signal to 1080i and then upconverts that 1080i signal to 1080p. This of course will more »

Sanyo 1080i Projector

What's with all the projectors coming out these days? I'm sure this Sanyo LP-Z4, which sports a 7000:1 contrast ratio, has a 1280x720 resolution and supports 1080i/720p with an HDMI plug, will be much sought after on the Guerilla Drive-In scene. I can only hope that the previous generation of home theater projectors are being donated to local schools, home to the A/V geeks who grow up to become gadget Gods. This Sanyo, by the way, also uses TOPAZreal technology—which is a trifecta of motorized iris, automatic lamp control and 10-bit image processing— and runs in near-silence (22db!). Japan-only for now.
