Capture even complex motion with precision MPEG2 Engine

Panasonic's MPEG2 engine is a wide-range, high-precision engine that produces smooth, beautiful moving pictures. Because it precisely records the differences in each frame, it can render fast, complex motions with exceptional precision. The MPEG2 engine also uses the Variable Bit Rate system that Panasonic adopted for the high-end DIGA DVD recorder. Giving LP (long play mode) recordings nearly
twice the resolution captured with previous Panasonic MPEG2 recording video cameras, this lets the SD e.cam and DVD e.cam record clear, smoothly flowing pictures.
