- Description
- AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) is a file format designed for recording and playing back high definition video. It is commonly used in digital camcorders and cameras for capturing HD footage. AVCHD leverages the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video compression codec, which efficiently reduces file sizes while preserving high-quality video resolution, and supports both Dolby AC-3 and linear PCM audio codecs for high-quality sound.
- This is the display format associated with the broadcast of slow-scan television. This legacy format was used to transmit a static image given limited bandwidth through the use of specialized software.
