Product Description
 
Sony Introduces World’s First Double Full HD 3D Consumer Camcorder
 
HDR-TD10
 
From viewing 3D movies to actually shooting your own 3D videos. With Sonys industry leading technology and expertise in 3D cinema and 3D sports broadcasting, we are now bringing that exciting 3D experience right to your living room with our first 3D Handycam camcorder.
 
 
The Worlds first 3D Full HD consumer camcorder HDR-TD10 is set to expand the world of 3D while redefining the meaning of home video. Up until now, high quality 3D image capturing was only possible with professional cameras, but with the HDR-TD10, anyone can shoot stunningly beautiful Full HD 3D videos. From the occasional big moments, to the day-to-day small moments, you can now capture all that in Full HD 3D.
 
 
In 3D imagery, a pair of images (right channel and left channel) needs to be recorded. Driven by not one but two Wide Angle Sony G Lenses, two "Exmor R" CMOS sensors, and two powerful "BIONZ" image processors, HDR-TD10 is able to shoot both the right and left channel in Full HD.
 
Furthermore, thanks to this Double Full HD 3D system, 3D videos recorded can be played back in Full HD quality in both 3D and 2D. In addition, other class leading technologies, such as 10x optical zoom in 3D, Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with Active Mode in 3D, Xtra Fine LCD 3D touch panel that does not require 3D glasses for viewing, are included features.
 
Operability, stunningly beautiful image quality, and the dynamism of 3D - all three elements are balanced to perfection in HDR-TD10.

Double Full HD 3D Consumer Camcorder
 
Shot with two lenses and processed with two image processors
 
Driven by not one but two Wide Angle Sony® G Lenses, two "Exmor R" CMOS sensors, and two powerful "BIONZ®" image processors, HDR-TD10 is able to shoot 3D images in Double Full HD. You can enjoy 3D images in Full HD quality just as you can with conventional 2D Handycam® HD camcorders.

"Frame packing" method to achieve Full HD quality
 
A commonly used signaling specification in most 3D products, the side-by-side method squeezes both the left and right image by half, resulting in some inevitable loss of image quality.
On the other hand, by employing the "frame packing" 3D signaling method, HDR-TD10 is able to produce Full HD 3D images without sacrificing image quality, as both the left and right frames are transferred via HDMI as Full HD signals without being squeezed by half.

Shoot in 3D, watch in both 3D and 2D
 
 Simply shoot in 3D, and have a choice to watch in 3D or 2D later, both in Full HD quality. When HDR-TD10 is connected to a 2D HDTV, only one of the channels of the 3D video will be displayed automatically, without the need to manually switch from 3D to 2D on the camcorder. (Refer to How 3D imaging works for 3D mechanism)
The beauty of our Double Full HD system is that even if you dont have a 3D TV yet, you can shoot in 3D first, and still be able to enjoy the videos you have shot in Full HD 2D now, and in Full HD 3D in the future when you buy a 3D TV.
 
 
Optimum distance
between lenses to produce
the optimum stereoscopic effect

One of the most important characteristics in a 3D camera is the amount of stereoscopic effect a camera can produce. And this quality is directly related to the distance between the lenses in a twin lens 3D system.

Based on our rich experience in both 3D imagery and camcorder technology, for HDR-TD10, a distance of 31mm between the lenses is chosen for optimum performance. This distance enables the best stereoscopic effect without sacrificing the basic operability, allowing you to shoot great 3D images in various scenes, zooming in and out freely.

How 3D imaging works

 
Worlds First
10x Optical Zoom in 3D (consumer camcorder)
 
 
 
Though commonly available in most conventional 2D camcorders, optical zoom is still a rare feature in 3D cameras. However, thanks to a sophisticated auto-adjustment technology, which is indispensable for correcting even the slightest misalignment (Figure 1) between the left and right lens especially at the tele-end (Figure 2), HDR-TD10 is equipped with a 10x optical zoom in 3D for users to zoom in and out freely in various scenes.
 
 
 
Figure1: Misalignment is unnoticeable at wide end
Figure2: Misalignment is magnified at tele end (without auto-adjustment)
 
Tips for 3D Shooting:
 
The optimum shooting distance for 3D is related to the zoom settings.
 
The approximated shooting distances for three different zoom settings are shown in the adjacent illustration, with 3D effect represented by the opacity of the blue region. Solid blue indicates optimum 3D effect while semi-transparent blue indicates a softer 3D effect.
 
The region in gray represents the range where subjects cannot be formed properly.

 
Optical SteadyShot (Active Mode) in 3D
Steady even while walking!
 
HDR-TD10 is equipped with Optical SteadyShot image stabilization (Active Mode). When used at the wide end, correction angle is ten times greater than without Active Mode, enabling steady images even while walking.

Dynamic 3D images without dedicated glasses.
Xtra Fine LCD 3D touch panel with TruBlack technology.
 
A true 3D camcorder, HDR-TD10 is equipped with a 3.5-inch 3D LCD touch panel display that does not require dedicated 3D glasses for viewing.This gorgeous 3D display packs an incredible 1229k dots and is capable of displaying both 3D and 2D images with superb details.

 
Parallax barrier system
 
Taking advantage of how the human brain-eye system works, the 3D LCD based on the parallax barrier system employs the same concept to make 3D viewing possible without dedicated 3D glasses. By controlling the direction of light that reaches each eye separately, the 3D LCD is able to let each eye see a slightly different image, therefore allowing our brain to create a sense of depth, just as the way human see the world.
