16:9 Frame 1280 x 720

1080pThe full 1920x1080 pixel sensor is utilized for the 1080p image. The central portion of the imagesensor is utilized to generate the720p image, an even smaller subset is used to generate PAL orNTSC outputs. 1080p has 2x theresolution of 720p and 6x the resolution of standard definition(PAL, NTSC)

THE MX-15 TRUE HD IMAGING BENEFITS
