DESCRIPTION:
Sony's first professional AVCHD camcorder redefines the performance and features expected of this product class. It records stunning quality 1920 x 1080 images at 24Mbps (50i or 25p), as well as supporting 720/50p and Standard Definition recording. Sony's “G Lens” and Exmor™ technology provide excellent resolution, colour and contrast, as well as exceptional low-light sensitivity.
Operational flexibility is maximised by AVCHD recording onto affordable and readily available consumer memory cards. Using two 32GB cards, the NX5 can record six hours of HD footage which can be further extended by simply swapping cards. Simultaneous HYBRID HD and/or SD recording is supported via a unique, optional 128GB Flash Memory Unit (HXR-FMU128) which offers 11 hours HD recording time at 24Mbps.
The NX5 is the first camcorder of its class to feature a built-in GPS locator, high quality Linear PCM audio recording and new Active SteadyShot stabilisation technology.

CPU
Use an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.20 GHz CPU or faster to play back videos with high definition image quality (HD) if recorded using the highest quality mode. Videos with high definition image quality (HD) recorded in other quality modes may be played back with a slower CPU. Depending on the performance of your video card, videos with high definition image quality (HD) recorded using the highest quality mode may be played back with a slower CPU than that recommended above. For the following operations, an Intel Pentium III 1GHz or faster is necessary. - Importing videos to a computer - Processing videos with standard definition image quality (SD) only
Memory
Windows XP 512 MB or more (1 GB or more is recommended.) For processing content with standard definition image quality (SD) only, 256 MB of memory or more is necessary. Windows Vista 1 GB or more Windows 7 1 GB or more
Hard Disk

Notes
Your computer must meet or exceed hardware requirements described above for each OS. Even in a computer environment where the operations are guaranteed, frames may be dropped from movies, resulting in uneven playback. However, imported images will not be affected. Operations are not guaranteed on all the recommended environments. For example, other open or background applications may limit product performance. Content Management Utility does not support 5.1ch surround sound reproduction. The sound is reproduced in 2ch sound. If you use a Notebook PC, connect it to the AC Adaptor as the power source. Otherwise, the software will not work properly due to the power saving function of the PC.
