Double Full HD 3D Consumer camcorder The Sony ® HDR-TD10 utilizes two Full
HD sensors to capture true 1920x1080 3D video. Most 3D cameras achieve the
3D affect by splitting a 1920x1080 signal in to two 960x540 channels in
order to squeeze them onto one sensor, thereby limiting resolution on the
final output. Because the Sony HDR-TD10 utilizes two HD sensors, it
provides a full 1920x1080 lines of resolution on both channels, giving you
a richer and more immersive 3D experience.

record and store up to 25 hours of 2D high definition video footage (HD LP
mode), or up to 5 hours of High definition 3D video.
