Technology and Innovation

The 42-inch 16:9 CMP4121 is certainly versatile, handling both computer and video applications. Its native resolution is 1,024 x 1,024 pixels, but it can go as high as UXGA (1,600 x 1,200). Meanwhile, it can display video up to HDTV standards. There’s a variety of video and computer inputs, and a built-in 8W stereo amplifier for audiophiles. Worried about it burning out too quickly? Well, don’t. Hitachi is touting a bunch of screensavingtechniques, and promising a lifespan “16 times” that of normal produets. The display uses cutting-edge ALIS (Altérnate Lighting of Surfaces) plasma panels, and has a healthy contrast ratio of 700:1. All this, yet an overall depth of less than 9cm.

What’s more, now you’ll be able to snap 4.6 megapixel publicity stills as you shoot your movie using Sony’s Dual Recording technology. A lOx optical zoom backed by a 20x digital zoom allow the professional-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens to capture every detail of every moment. Boasting a generous 2.7″ Wide (16:9) Touch Panel Clear Photo Plus LCD screen and multiple connectivity options, including USB 2.0 and HDMI outputs, the HDRSR7 gives you complete control from capture to cut.
