Sanyo Xacti DMX-HD800

Sanyo Electric Co Ltd will launch the "Xacti DMX-HD800," a camcorder supporting 720p HDTV resolution, in Japan Aug 22, 2008. A new sleek, slim high definition dual camera Xacti that can take both stills and videos. The camera sports a compact and light-weight body, and easily saves data onto SD/SDHC memory cards for convenience. The DMX-HD800 will take stills and videos used on a personal computer or for the Web, houses a new three-dimensional digital noise reduction (3DDNR) filter, and adds the ‘Face Chaser’ for both stills and videos with an active scanner visible on the monitor.

To enable the 3D noise reduction function, the camcorder uses an image processing LSI dubbed "Platinum Σ engine," which is also adopted in the higher-end model "DMX-HD1010" released in June 2008. Random noise generated along the time-axis can be reduced by the 3D noise reduction function. Thus, the compression rate when coding is reportedly increased by 10-15%, compared with the existing model (DMX-HD700).
