Use Your Camcorder As Never Before With DCR-PC120BT
The latest new DV format camcorder announcement from Sony sees the
introduction of a new model that enables, for the first time, wireless
Internet access direct from your DCR-PC120BT camcorder using a GSM
or GPRS Bluetooth enabled telephone or fixed telephone connection.
Bluetooth Internet Connectivity
For people who base their personal and work lives around Internet
connectivity, the DCR-PC120 offers ultimate speed and ease of access to the
Internet. To connect to the Web directly from your camcorder, all you need
is a Bluetooth enabled GSM/GPRS telephone or Modem adaptor with
Bluetooth function (BTA-NW1) for fixed telephone line use.
Internet connectivity does not stop there. Using the PC120, you can surf
the web and read your emails. For off-line usage, web pages can be saved to
the camcorder's Memory Stick and read later at your convenience. A super
high quality 2.5-inch LCD monitor rated now at 210,000 pixels ensures that
although the screen size is relatively small, the web-based material is
displayed in clear and sharp detail.
"Now we are witnessing the pioneering development of a new kind of
network-based technology," "Network connectivity will become a major
feature, not only for camcorders but also within a wide range of other
Sony products."
The DCR-PC120 will be introduced in a select number of countries. For
regions outside, Sony has introduced the DCR-PC115, a camcorder that
shares the DCR-PC120's profile and extends its PC-style usage as
part of your personal communications network.
Sony first for quality and ease of use
The highest picture resolution to date is achieved using a 1.5 mega pixel
CCD and 14-bit digital signal processing in order to provide 530 lines of
horizontal resolution. A Carl Zeiss T* lens with 120x digital and 10x
optical zoom provides stunning picture quality while a new Hologram AF
function uses safe laser technology to precisely measure distance -
technology that significantly improves auto-focus in low light conditions.
Add to this an automatic pop-up flash for still image use with red-eye
reducing technology built-in and you can be certain to top quality
images in any conditions.
For comprehensive PC integration, both new camcorders possess three
interconnection options - USB, i.LINK (DV IN/OUT) and Memory Stick.
They come supplied with an 8MB Memory Stick, USB cable and driver
software for Photo Suite, and Video Wave. Using the camcorder's MPEG
e-Movie feature, videoclips up to 60 seconds in length can be stored on a
Memory Stick & transferred to your PC in seconds for editing, archiving
and sending to "friends via e-mail.
"These new camcorders provide a wide audience of young, dynamic and
demanding camcorder users with unprecedented quality and network
functionality,"
Ironically the PC120 was released just a week
before this skyline image was no more....
