|
With two studio-quality condenser
microphones configured in a wide 120 X/Y
pattern, your Q3HD can capture even the
loudest live concerts in HD with
incredibly clear audio. Time lags
generated by differences in distances
from sound sources are eliminated by
aligning the left and right recording
positions on the same axis. In addition
to left-right stereo width, a sense of
depth from front to back is also captured
faithfully, allowing your recordings to
sound three-dimensional.
|
 Your HD Videos are recorded
in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format, which can be
played on a computer using QuickTime
player. The Q3HD can record video in full
HD at 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution,
allowing you to enjoy your
finely-detailed audio and video on your
large HDTV. You can also select 720p HD
for longer recordings, as well as SD
formats when smaller file sizes are
needed.
|
 A USB cable is conveniently
built into the unit, allowing the Q3HD to
be connected directly to a Mac or PC. The
USB 2.0 Hi-Speed standard allows even
large video files to be transferred
smoothly and quickly.
|
 The Q3HD’s bundled
HandyShare editing and uploading software
lets you to manage and edit your videos
easily as well as upload them to social
networking sites. From live musical
performances, rehearsals and recitals to
journalism, education and sports, you can
easily share your movies with everyone on
your favorite websites like YouTube or
Vimeo. Moreover, effect functions in the
software allow you to bring the sound of
video recordings up to the level of a
finished product. Normalize a recording
for a consistent volume level, add reverb
to give rich reflections to the sounds of
instruments and voices and use a
mastering effect to enhance the impact of
a performance with compression. Just
select a preset. It’s easy enough for
anyone to use.

24-bit/96kHz linear PCM sound
The rich stereo sound captured by
the X/Y mic pair can be recorded to
linear PCM WAV files. When taking full
high-definition 1080p video, high-quality
sound with resolution of up to 24-bit/96
kHz can also be recorded. In addition to
being able to switch between “Low” and
“High” gain levels, the “Auto” setting
allows for automatic level adjustments.
The versatile controls on your Q3HD mean

matter the application.

dark situations.

shoot both distant landscapes and
close-ups of people. You can capture your
main subject even when it’s far
away.
|

unwanted background noise by cutting the
low-frequency range. Attach a windscreen
(sold separately), to reduce wind noise
so you can get clear audio even when
filming outside.
|

Q3HD, as the unit allows you to cut

scenes without a computer. By erasing
unnecessary data from the SD card, you

time.

sizes. The Q3HD also features an internal
reference speaker so you can check
recordings without earphones.
