4:2:2?! at DVinfo.net

Hi all -

Just curious; looking at the Sony website for the HXR-NX70U, if you click on the "Specifications" tab and look under the "Exmor R Image Sensor" section, it states:

"Video Captured Image Resolution : 1920x1080 4:2:2 AVCHD 2.0 up to 28Mbps"

I thought this cam, as well as other AVCHD cams, recorded the video in 4:2:0.

Am I reading this wrong?

Andrew,

I think you have to use an external recorder via HDMI for 4:2:2.
