Sanyo Xacti CS1 compact camera design
Product development for the Sanyo Xacti CS1 has been carried out with an emphasis on a compact design that can be taken anywhere and anytime, using the concept of a handy device for recording the moments of daily life. In order to make the Sanyo CS1 even more compact than previous models, Sanyo has developed a slim sensor module and a new super slim lens. With its compact size (approx. 126 cc in volume), lightweight design approx. 5 oz), and slim body (1.06” in thickness) for superior portability, the Sanyo VPC-CS1 is a new style of video camera that will radically expand the situations where it can be used. The original vertical ergonomic style enables a slim body with usability.
Capture HD videos with the Sanyo CS1 camera
The Sanyo VPC-CS1 not only features a super slim and compact body, but can also capture Full HD videos with a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels. The video format used is “MPEG-4 AVC / H.264,” which is easy to use on PC and Internet environments, as it is a single file format, similar to the one used for still photos. Consequently, video files are displayed in the same thumbnail format as still picture files, and they can also be played back directly with Windows Media Player, and editable with Windows Live Movie Maker, and are Device Stage compatible. This makes the files even more convenient for use on computers.
Sanyo Xacti CS1 camera supports iFrame
To enhance its versatility, the Sanyo Xacti CS1 is undergoing official certification to support iFrame, a next generation video format that has been designed to allow users to easily import, edit and share high quality video. This format enables the camcorder function to record in the same format used for editing on a computer, dramatically speeding up the processes of importing, editing and sharing movies across multiple platforms and devices. iFrame is a computer-friendly format, and can be used with both Mac and PC compatible applications due to the use of standards-based technologies such as H.264, AAC, and MP4. When combined with iMovie in this capture mode, it is possible to realize even greater convenience in the procedure of capturing, uploading to a computer, editing, and sharing.
