Description:

The Pretec DV4200i is a revolutionary MPEG-4 digital camcorder with 2.1-megapixel digital still camera. This tapeless digital camcorder is capable of storing up to 3 hours of video--at VHS quality or better--with an optional 512 MB memory card. The included 64 MB Secure Digital (SD) memory card will hold approximately 20 minutes of video.

Still images can be taken at a resolution of 2.1 megapixels--for prints up to 8 x 10 inches--making the DV4200i one of the highest resolution camcorders with still image capability available as of March, 2003.

Using high-compression MPEG-4 technology with patented techniques of Advanced Simple Profile, including quarter-pel motion estimation, the DV4200i is the world's first camcorder to reach 30 frames-per-second using MPEG-4 encoding/decoding.

The DV4200i is practical for every office or family use, offering 30fps and AAC audio, which compresses much more efficiently than older formats such as MP3, yet delivers quality rivaling that of uncompressed CD audio.

With the AV-in feature of the DV4200i selected, you can transfer all your favorite movies or recordings from different media--VHS tape, VCD, DVD, etc.--to MPEG-4 video.
