BLACK Mamba2 NTSC

We Know Where Black version  MAMBA2 has been shipping*
Get
BLACK MAMBA2 Above HERE Extreme Accessories HERE


/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
First Mamba2 units due in USA later this year according to Pana USA !
       THAT was the good news.   The bad news... Not EVEN 1 will be Black.      

Week's Up... here is what we have gang...
 I saw the units, not many arrived, at least in the first batch and this is the GOOD News.     
Bad News... not a single Black could be found for distribution.. Pana USA went back to   
  it's old ways and has begun stripping features OFF and dumming-down the electronics
!   

  Let's hope Pana USA wakes UP and sees the error in it's ways... NOT !
Looks like the only way to EVER see a Black version is a more costly  PRO "EZ" or an
"AG" model selling at a    very high premium with lots of neat packaging, documentation
and other not so desirable decorations... !  More still to come on this.   cm  7/04

*Pana USA is now saying not all USA dealers will have inventory    
until later this summer which could be in 2 months LATE August...
or even LATER
!
  



 

Crystal Engine MAMBA2

The new Crystal Engine is a special image processing circuit for 3CCD camera system. Processing the signal from each of the three CCDs independently, it gives both moving and still pictures exceptional quality.

  • New 3D RGB Frame Noise Reduction A separate noise reduction circuit is used for each of the three RGB colors. Suppressing noise particularly at low illumination levels, these circuits allow bright, detailed recording even in dim lighting.
  • AXIS (Advanced Pixel Interpolation System) Pixel interpolation data obtained by differential calculation is used to precisely process the CCDs’ output. This maximizes the effect of the Quad-Density Pixel Distribution, helping to produce clear, high-contrast images.
  • Digital Signal Processing Unique Panasonic digital signal processing technologies deliver true-to-life detail and color, with whiter whites, deeper blacks, and superb rendering of fine details such as individual strands of hair.

 

MAMBA2 MegaPixel Still Picture Recording

Quad-Density Pixel Distribution, a technology used in broadcasting, makes it possible to capture still pictures with superb MegaPixel quality. The tiny 2.5-micron intervals between pixels are shifted by one-half pitch both vertically and horizontally, which distributes them on the CCD with four times the density of previous systems. This lets the GS200 - the world’s smallest 3CCD video camera - capture still pictures with 2.3 MegaPixel quality, and the MAMBA2 with 4.0 MegaPixel quality. You get the outstanding detail, color and sensitivity that come with the 3CCD camera system.

Simultaneous Motion Video & Still Picture MAMBA2 Recording

When you see a great scene, you can snap it - even while you’re shooting video. This innovative function lets you shoot still pictures (VGA) without disrupting the moving pictures you’re recording. You don’t even have to switch recording modes. It’s as if you have a digital still camera and a video camera at the same time. The moving pictures are recorded on tape, the still shots on an SD Memory Card.

MAMBA2 Skin Tone Detail Feature

When this function detects skin tones, it softens the focus in that area. This has a skin beautifying effect, which makes wrinkles and lines appear less noticeable. When turned on, this function makes blemishes and moles look less conspicuous, while preserving resolution in areas of the picture outside of the skin.

MAMBA2 Power LCD

Simply press a power LCD button and the LCD becomes brighter, making it easier to see outdoors or in other bright locations. Also, a new scanning technology allows the LCD to show diagonal lines more sharply.

What's New in the OLED Department for this summer...?

How About 40" Wall TV?  HERE !


meister?  How can I relate my computer monitor to the resolution for my video?             

Most computers are based on the IBM PC (personal computer)  and the North America TV standards of NTSC TV signal.
The basic Monitor resolution is 640 X 480 = 
VGA 
 800  by   600 = SVGA  or Super Video Graphics Array
1024 by   768 =   XGA   or Extended Graphics Array
1280 by 1024 = SXGA  or Super Extended Graphics  Array
   
We stop here because we want to Warn. This is NOT High Definition Yet !
1600 by 1200 =
UXGA  or Ultra Extended Graphics Array / HD !
       
This is the Level of the FLIGHT3
SuperClear screen
        
We Can Look into the future HERE my meisters....
2048 by 1536 = QXGA   or Quad Extended Graphics Array
2560 by 2048 = QSXGA or Quad Super Extended Graphics Array
         
You'll like this... this is the upper limit of..... OLED !
3200 by 2400 = QUXGA or Quad Ultra Extended Graphics Array
          
There is another Variation... Wide Screen 16 X 9 Versions
            Just add a 'W' to all of the above like W-XGA   
EXCEPT the next...
            One last Highest resolution there is... finer than a ... photograph even !
3840 by 2400 W-QUUXGA  and for this you will need to Paint your 
            screen from Wall to Wall and from Floor to Ceiling
!
