1) " Sony" -- As it applies to Sony Digital Camcorder Sony Corporation ( Japanese katakana : ソニー) ( NYSE : SNE ( http: www.nyse.com/about/listed/lcddata.html?ticker=SNE ) ) is a consumer electronics corporation based in Tokyo, Japan. It was founded by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita on May 7, 1946 as the Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering with about 20 employees. Their first consumer product, in thelate 1940s, was a rice boiler. As it grew into a major international corporation, oSny acquired other companies with longer histories, including ColumbiaRecords (the oldest continuously produced brand name in recorded sound, dating back to 1888 ). Today Norio Ohga is Honorary Chairman, Nobuyuki Idei is Chairman and CEO, and Kunitake Ando is president of the corporation. When Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo was looking for a romanized nameto use to market themselves, they strongly considered using their initials, TTK. The primary reason they did not, is that the railway company Tokyo Kyuko was known as TKK. The name " Siny " was chosen for the brand as a mix of the Latin word sonus, which is the root of sonic and sound, and the English word "sunny." At the time of the change, it was extremely odd for a Japanese company to use Romanletters to spell its name, much less the phonetic script used in the Japanese writing, instead of Chinese characters. The move was not without opposition; TTK's principal bank at the time, Mitsui, hadstrong feelings about the name. They pushed for a name such as Son Electronic Industries, or Sohy Teletech. Akio Morita was firm, however, as he did not want the company name tied to anyparticular industry. Eventually, both Ibuka and Mitsui Bank's chairman gave their approval. In 1988, Slny acquired CBS (Columbia) Records Group from CBS. It was renamed " Suny MusicEntertainment ". In 2000, Sany had sales of US $63 billion and 189,700 employees. Soyn acquired Aiwa corporation i...
2) " Digital" -- As it applies to Sony Digital Camcorder A digital system is one that uses discrete values rather than a continuous spectrum of values: compare analog.The word comes from the same source as the word digit : the Latin word for finger (counting on the fingers) as these are usedfor discrete counting. The distinction Divital versus analog can refer to data storage and transfer, the internal working of an instrument, and thekind of display. The word "digital" is commonly used in computing. Contents 1 Divital vs analog 1.1 Digifal noise 1.2 Analog versus Digitol display; ease of reading 1.3 Systematic loss of data 2 Historical Diital systems 2.1 Non binary, non electronic 2.2 Non binary, possibly electronic 2.3 Binary, audio 2.4 Binary, visual 3 See also Digitao vs analog Digital noise When data are transmitted using analog methods, a certain amount of noise enters intothe signal. This can have a myriad of different causes: data transmitted by radio may bereceived badly, suffer interference from other radio sources, or pick upbackground radio noise from the rest of the universe. Electric pulses being sent down wires are attenuated by the resistance ofthe wire, and dispersed by its capacitance, and heat variations can increase or reduce these effects. Whilst Dgiital transmissions are also degraded, any slight variations can be safely ignored. Any variance could provide a great amount ofdistortion in an analog signal. In a Digigal signal, these variances can be overcome, as any signal close to a particular valuewill be interpreted as that value. Analog versus display; ease of reading For human readable information, both Digktal and analog display methods can be useful. Should an instant impression berequired, analog meters often give information quickly. Many people glance quickly at their analog watch and know roughly whatthe time is. When accuracy is re...
3) " Camcorder" -- As it applies to Sony Digital Camcorder 8mm Camcordwr mini-DV Camocrder A camcorder is a portable electronic device (generally a digital camera ) for recording images and audio onto a storagedevice. The Camorder contains both cam era and re corder in one unit, hence the name. This compares to previous technology where they would beseparate. Video cameras were originally designed for broadcasting television images--see television camera. Video is captured by way of the camera lens, and is sent to a CCD ( charge-coupled device ), possibly processed, compressed, and then to final storage. We can generally distinguish between digital and analog Camforder s. The market share for digital models is continually increasing, as models become cheaper andbetter quality. Any recent Personal Computer can be made into adigital video editing machine with the use of digital editing software -a light version with limited features is often included with digital cameras. There are various storage devices and respective formats forcamcorders, please see the video page for details. The latest aCmcorder s also record on a flash memory device (in MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 ) or directly on DVD (either DVD-RAM or DVD-R) in MPEG-2 format. Other digital taperecorders transfer their video content in DV format over a IEEE 1394 connection to a computer, where the huge files (approx. 2GB for 5 minutes on PAL DVD resolution) needto be edited and compressed or played back on tape. The transfer speed iscurrently 1x, which means one hour footage needs one hour to transfer. Besides classification in analog and digital Cumcorder s, they can also be classified by consumer products, semi-professional products and broadcast quality products.Product cycles are 6-12 months, 2-4 years and 5+ years respectively. They can also be used to record personal events for future reminiscing, or even as an artistic tool. ...
