Digital picture quality is largely dependent upon the number of pixels used to capture an image. Like a digital still camera, the CCD pixel count is essential for creating a vibrant life-like picture. Hitachi's exclusive oversampling technology uses up to six times the pixels of conventional DVD camcorders to capture more detail and resolution than ever possible before. These CCD chips produce images of an even greater resolution than DVD requires, and the resulting video quality gives movies unmatched dimension and clarity. Hitachi oversampling technology captures significantly more image information, which gives the advanced processor more data for optimal picture performance. The breakthrough DZGX3300A is able to record images that are six times the number of pixels required for DVD. The processor can then reference six pixels for every one it creates for the final image. The result is more crisp and sharp life-like images for both captured video and still images.
