The HDR-HC1E records video in the relatively new HDV standard. This
format is designed to make the transition to HD as painless as possible
for camcorder users. The video is compressed using MPEG-2 at a data rate
of 25Mbits/sec - exactly the same as the DV recorded by most current
digital camcorders. This means that identical tapes can be used. HDV is
also designed to be captured to PC via FireWire. All you need is software
support and you can use the same cabling and PC connection for video
acquisition.
