Consumer Reports – Camcorders

by JVCAmerica
Consumer Reports – Camcorders
hose grainy, jumpy home movies of yesteryear are long gone–replaced by home movies shot on digital or analog camcorders. You can edit and embellish the footage with music using your computer, then play it back on your VCR; you can even send it via e-mail.
Digital camcorders, now the dominant type, generally offer very good to excellent picture quality, along with very good sound capability, compactness, and ease of handling. Making copies of a digital recording won’t result in a loss of picture or sound quality. You can even take rudimentary still photos with some digital camcorders.
Analog camcorders, now a small part of the market, generally have good picture and sound quality and are less expensive. Some analog units are about as compact and easy to handle as digital models, while others are a bit bigger and bulkier.
WHAT’S AVAILABLE
Sony dominates the camcorder market, with multiple models in a number of formats. Other top brands include Canon, JVC, Panasonic, and Samsung.
Most digital models come in the MiniDV format. Formats such as the disc-based DVD-RAM and DVD-R have also appeared. Some digital models weigh as little as one pound.
MiniDV. Don’t let their small size deceive you. Although some models can be slipped into a large pocket, MiniDV camcorders can record very high-quality images. They use a unique tape cassette, and the typical recording time is 60 minutes at standard play (SP) speed. Expect to pay .50 for a 60-minute tape. You’ll need to use the camcorder for playback–it converts its recording to an analog signal, so it can be played directly into a TV or VCR. If the TV or VCR has an S-video input jack, use it to get a high-quality picture.
Price range: 0 to more than ,000.
Digital 8. Also known as D8, this format gives you digital quality on Hi8 or 8mm cassettes, which cost .50 and .50, respectively. The Digital 8 format records with a faster tape speed, so a “120-minute” cassette lasts only 60 minutes at SP. Most models can also play your old analog Hi8 or 8mm tapes.
Price range: 0 to 0.
Disc-based. Capitalizing on the explosive growth and capabilities of DVD movie discs, these formats offer benefits tape can’t provide: long-term durability, a compact medium, and random access to scenes as with a DVD. The 3 1/4-inch discs record standard MPEG-2 video, the same format used in commercial DVD videos. The amount of recording time varies according to the quality level you select: from 20 minutes per side at the highest-quality setting for DVD-RAM up to about 60 minutes per side at the lowest setting. DVD-RAM discs are not compatible with most DVD players, but the discs can be reused. DVD-R is supposed to be compatible with most DVD players and computer DVD drives, but the discs are write-once. We paid about at a local retailer for a blank DVD-RW.
Price range: 0 to ,000.
Most analog camcorders now use the Hi8 format; VHS-C and Super VHS-C are fading from the market. Blank tapes range in price from .50 to .50. Analog camcorders usually weigh around 2 pounds. Picture quality is generally good, though a notch below that of digital.
Price range: 5 to 0.
IMPORTANT FEATURES
A flip-out liquid-crystal-display (LCD) viewer is becoming commonplace on all but the lowest-priced camcorders. You’ll find it useful for reviewing footage you’ve shot and easier to use than the eyepiece viewfinder for certain shooting poses. Some LCD viewers are hard to use in sunlight, a drawback on models that have only a viewer and no eyepiece.
Screens vary from 2 1/2 to 4 inches measured diagonally, with a larger screen offered as a step-up feature on higher-priced models. Since an LCD viewer uses batteries faster than an eyepiece viewfinder does, you don’t have as much recording time when the LCD is in use.
An image stabilizer automatically reduces most of the shaking that occurs from holding the camcorder as you record a scene. Most stabilizers are electronic; a few are optical. Either type can be effective, though mounting the camcorder on a tripod is the surest way to get steady images. If you’re not using a tripod, you can try holding the camcorder with both hands and propping both elbows against your chest.
Full auto switch essentially lets you point and shoot. The camcorder automatically adjusts the color balance, shutter speed, focus, and aperture (also called the “iris” or “f-stop” with camcorders).
Autofocus adjusts for maximum sharpness; manual focus override may be needed for problem situations, such as low light. (With some camcorders, you may have to tap buttons repeatedly to get the focus just right.) With many models, you can also control exposure, shutter speed, and white balance.
The zoom is typically a finger control–press one way to zoom in, the other way to widen the view. The rate at which the zoom changes will depend on how hard you press the switch. Typical optical zoom ratios range from 10:1 to 26:1. The zoom relies on optical lenses, just like a film camera (hence the term “optical zoom”). Many camcorders offer a digital zoom to extend the range to 400:1 or more, but at a lower picture quality.
For tape-based formats, analog or digital, every camcorder displays tape speeds the same way a VCR does. Every model, for example, includes an SP (standard play) speed. Digitals have a slower, LP (long play) speed that adds 50 percent to the recording time. A few 8mm and Hi8 models have an LP speed that doubles the recording time. All VHS-C and S-VHS-C camcorders have an even slower EP (extended play) speed that triples the recording time. With analog camcorders, slower speeds worsen picture quality. Slow speed usually doesn’t reduce picture quality on digital camcorders. But using slow speed means sacrificing some seldom-used editing options and may restrict playback on other camcorders.
Disc-based formats have a variety of modes that trade off recording time for image quality.
Quick review lets you view the last few seconds of a scene without having to press a lot of buttons. For special lighting situations, preset auto-exposure settings can be helpful. A “snow & sand” setting, for example, adjusts shutter speed or aperture to accommodate high reflectivity.
A light provides some illumination for close shots when the image would otherwise be too dark. Backlight compensation increases the exposure slightly when your subject is lit from behind and silhouetted. An infrared-sensitive recording mode (also known as night vision, zero lux, or MagicVu) allows shooting in very dim or dark situations, using infrared emitters. You can use it for nighttime shots, although colors won’t register accurately in this mode.
Audio/video inputs let you record material from another camcorder or from a VCR, useful for copying part of another video onto your own. (A digital camcorder must have such an input jack if you want to record analog material digitally.) Unlike a built-in microphone, an external microphone that is plugged into a microphone jack won’t pick up noises from the camcorder itself, and it typically improves audio performance.
A camcorder with digital still capability lets you take snapshots, which can be downloaded to your computer. The photo quality is generally inferior to that of a still camera.
Features that may aid editing include a built-in title generator, a time-and-date stamp, and a time code, which is a frame reference of exactly where you are on a tape–the hour, minute, second, and frame. A remote control helps when you’re using the camcorder as a playback device or when you’re using a tripod. Programmed recording (a self-timer) starts the camcorder recording at a preset time.
HOW TO CHOOSE
Pick your price range and format. The least-expensive camcorders on the market are analog. All the rest are digital.
Once you’ve decided which part of the price spectrum to explore, you need to pick a specific recording format. That determines not only how much you’ll be spending for tapes or discs, but also how much recording time you’ll get. The tape-based formats are typically superior in picture quality.
With analog, you can get 120 to 300 minutes of recording on a Hi8 cassette; with the SVHS-C or VHS-C formats, you can get only 30 to 120 minutes.
With digital formats that use MiniDV, Digital 8, or MicroMV tapes, you can get at least 60 minutes of recording on a standard cassette. MiniDV and D8 cassettes are the least expensive and easiest to find.
Digital DVD camcorders from Panasonic and Hitachi can accommodate DVD-RAM discs, which can be reused but aren’t compatible with all DVD players. All brands also use DVD-R, one-use discs that work in most DVD players. The standard setting yields 60 minutes of recording; the “fine” setting, 30 minutes.
If you’re replacing an older camcorder, think about what you’ll do with the tapes you’ve accumulated. If you don’t stay with the same format you’ve been using, you will probably want to transfer the old tapes to an easily viewed medium, such as a DVD.
If you’re buying your first camcorder, concentrate on finding the best one for your budget, regardless of format.
Check the size, weight, and controls. In the store, try different camcorders to make sure they fit your hand and are comfortable to use. Some models can feel disconcertingly tiny. (You’ll need to use a tripod

GPS principles

GPS principles
The basic principle of GPS navigation system to measure the known location of the satellite to the user the distance between the receiver and then integrated multi-satellite data can know the exact location of the receiver. To achieve this purpose, the satellite’s position can be based on-board clock time recorded in the satellite ephemeris identified. The user to the satellite’s distance from the satellite signal transmitted through the records to the user the experience of time, and then multiplied by the speed of light received (due to the interference of the atmosphere ionosphere, this distance is not the user and the real distance between the satellites, but pseudorange (PR): When the GPS satellites to work, it will continue to use 1 and 0 binary symbol composed of pseudo-random number (PN for short) launched navigation message. GPS pseudo-code system uses a total of two, namely civilian C / A code and the military of the P (Y) code. C / A code frequency 1.023MHz, repeat cycle of a millisecond, the code distance one microsecond, equivalent to 300m; P code frequency of 10.23MHz, repeat the cycle of 266.4 days, Code spacing of 0.1 microseconds, equivalent to 30m. The P code Y code is formed on the basis of confidentiality better performance. navigation message includes satellite ephemeris, work status, clock corrections, ionospheric delay correction, atmospheric refraction correction and other information. It is in the solution from the satellite signal modulation up to 50b / s modulation in the carrier frequency on the launch. navigation data included in each of the main frame 5 sub-frames per frame size 6s. the first three frames of all 10 code; repeat every 30 seconds, updated hourly. After the two were 15000b. navigation message in the contents of the main remote codes, code conversion, the first data blocks 1,2,3, including the most important was ephemeris data. When the user receives the navigation data, the extraction of the satellite time and do it with their own clock compared satellite and the user will be aware of the distance, and then use the navigation data in the satellite ephemeris data, calculate the location of the satellite launch when the message the user in WGS-84 geodetic coordinate system position, velocity and other information can be learned.
GPS satellite navigation system can be seen part of the role is to constantly launch navigation message. However, users accept the machine using the onboard clock with the clock can not always synchronized, so in addition to the user’s three-dimensional coordinates x, y, z, but also introduce a Δt is the time between the satellite and receiver differential as unknown, then four equations out of these four unknown solution. So if you want to know the location of the receiver, at least four satellites can receive the signal.
GPS receiver can receive the exact timing can be used to nanosecond time information; for forecasting the next few months in which broad locations satellite ephemeris; used to calculate the required positioning satellite coordinates of the broadcast ephemeris a precision of several meters to tens of meters (each satellite is different at any time change); and GPS system information, such as satellite status.
GPS receiver of the code can be measured from the satellite to the receiver, as with the receiver clock error of satellite and atmospheric propagation errors, it is called pseudorange. 0A code measured on the pseudo-range as UA code pseudorange, the accuracy is about 20 meters, measured on the P code pseudo-range as P code pseudo-range, precision is about 2 meters.
GPS receiver to receive satellite signals, decode or use other technology, the information on modulation in the carrier removed, you can restore the carrier. Strictly speaking, the carrier phase should be known as the carrier beat phase, which is received by the Doppler frequency shift effects of the satellite signal carrier phase and the receiver local oscillation signal phase difference. Generally determined by the receiver clock time measurement epoch, to keep track of the satellite signal, you can record changes in the value of the phase, but the start time of observation and satellite receiver initial phase of the oscillator is not known, since epoch beginning phase integer not know about that ambiguity, only as a parameter in the Data Processing Solution. Phase observations are accurate to the millimeter, but only solved ambiguity, only the relative positioning, and continuous observation for some time to use the phase observations, and to achieve better than the meter-level positioning accuracy of only phase observations can be used.
By positioning mode, GPS positioning into a single point positioning and relative positioning (differential positioning). Single point positioning is only one receiver according to the observation data to determine the way the receiver position, it can only use pseudorange measurements can be used for rough travel, etc. navigation. Relative positioning (differential position) is based on two or more receivers of observational data to determine the relative position between the observation points the way, both can be used pseudorange phase measurements can be applied, geodetic or engineering survey shall be phase observations using the relative positioning.
In the GPS observables includes satellite and receiver clock error, atmospheric propagation delay, multipath effects, etc. error, even when in the position calculation by the satellite broadcast ephemeris error, and during most of the public when the relative positioning error was offset or reduced, thus positioning accuracy will be greatly enhanced, dual-frequency receiver can view the two frequency ionospheric measurement error of the atmosphere to offset a major part in the high precision, when the distance between the receiver (there is significant difference between the atmosphere ) should be used in dual-frequency receiver.
Relativity for the GPS provides the necessary amendments
Global Positioning System GPS satellite timing signals to provide latitude, longitude and altitude information, accurate distance measurement requires precise clock. Therefore, we must use precise GPS receivers relativistic effect.
Accuracy within 30 meters in GPS receiver means that it has made use of the relativistic effect. University of Washington physicist Clifford M. Will explained in detail, said: “If you do not take into account relativistic effects, satellite clock on the Earth’s clock is not synchronized.” Relativity that fast moving objects with the passage of time slower than static. Will calculated for each GPS satellite approximately 1.4 million kilometers per hour across the distance, which means its on-board atomic clocks on Earth every day the clock slower than 7 microseconds.
The gravitational force exerted on time more relativistic effects. About 2 million meters of altitude, GPS satellites by the gravitational pull by approximately one quarter of the ground. The result is that on-board clock speed of 45 microseconds per day, GPS should be included in a total deviation of 38 microseconds. Ashby explained: “If there is no satellite frequency compensation of 11 km per day will increase the error.” (This effect is in fact more complex, because the satellite along an eccentric orbit, sometimes closer from Earth, sometimes Also very near.)
