Fisher Pocket Digital Camcorder Bundled With Ulead Software
February 16, 2004
Chatsworth, CA - Ulead Systems is bundling its video editing and digital media management software with the new Fisher FVD-C1 Pocket CameraCorder marketed by Sanyo Fisher Company.
The FVD-C1 is a lightweight, high-resolution MPEG-4 camcorder/camera that records to an SD memory card for fast transfer of high-resolution images and sound to PCs.
Ulead VideoStudio 7 SE DVD incorporates MPEG-4 technology to enable Pocket CameraCorder users to edit, author, and burn MPEG-4-recorded video to DVD or CD with an interactive menu and navigation. The bundle also includes Ulead Photo Explorer 8 Basic SE for enhancing, managing, and burning photos, MPEG-4 video and other digital media files to CD.
At just 5.4 ounces†, the Fisher CameraCorder is the world’s lightest high-resolution MPEG-4 camcorder and digital camera with memory card storage*, the manufacturer describes. It incorporates advanced MPEG-4 digital recording and a proprietary, state-of-the-art MPEG-4 chip for richly detailed images and sound.
Capable of superb, DVD-like video recording with CD-like audio quality, the Fisher CameraCorder can also take high-resolution, 3.2 megapixel still images. Compact enough to fit snugly in your hand or carry easily inside a pocket or small purse, it’s the ideal, all-in-one device for capturing life’s special moments whenever and wherever they occur.
Storage is completely “tapeless,” and comes in the form of an included, postage stamp-size 512 megabyte SD memory card, which lets users record up to 30 minutes of full-motion video at an industry standard 30-frames-per-second (VGA-size: 640x480). In still mode, the 512MB card can store up to 491 images (2048x1536), more than enough for crisp, sharp 11” x 14” color prints. And, unlike ordinary camcorders, users –while recording in video mode– can simultaneously capture still images with a simple shutter press.
The CameraCorder comes with a Multifunction Docking Station that connects to a computer via an included high-speed USB 2.0 connection cable. The Docking Station can be used as a battery charger or as an AC power source during playback. It can also be used to easily connect the CameraCorder to a TV or PC for convenient, instant playback of recently shot videos and images. A handy, ultra-thin infrared remote control is included for simplified menu browsing and playback.
