Hitachi Blu-ray camcorder

Hitachi is working with devotion to develop some new technologies that will enable the company to launch the first Blu ray camcorder very soon. This new technology will allow the user to record at least 1080p on the tiny 3in blu ray disc that is near to 7GB in the video. This is not any extra ordinary device but still better when compared to the DVDs.

The unique features of this new technology are an optical head for blu-ray/DV along with an image processing LSI. The encoding used for the device is AVC/H.264 MPEG-4 for the high def material and MPEG-2 for the standard definition stuff.

However, it is quite unconvincing to invest in a blu ray disc in spite of a large availability of the HD camcorders that provide the facility to record directly on the hard disk drives.
