Can movies be down-converted from high definition to standard definition?

Solution

    High-definition movies can be down-converted to standard definition by one of the following methods.

    • Using the [Convert HD SD(DVD)]command on the menu (SD-Video format) or the < WEB > button (MPEG2 format), convert and copy movies in the built-in memory to a memory card.

    • Using PIXELA ImageMixer 3 SE Ver.6 supplied with the camcorder, create a DVD in standard definition (DVD-Video format).
    Refer to the instruction manual of PIXELA ImageMixer 3 SE Ver.6.

    • When connecting to a TV or a recorder, use the bundled STV-250N stereo video cable to output the analog video signal in standard definition.
    CAUTION
    The camcorder cannot down-convert movies to standard definition.
