Zoom brought brilliant
HD video and stereo sound to your movies with the Q2HD. Now,
with the Q2HD Handy Video Recorder, there's only one handheld camcorder
with both onboard Mid-Side stereo recording and live streaming capabilities.
In addition, the Q2HD features an upgraded camera sensor, enhanced
user interface and much more for capturing and sharing great looking
videos that sound better than ever.
Mid-Side
brings the audio.
The Q2HD is the
first handheld camcorder to offer Mid-Side stereo recording. Mid-Side
recording, first introduced by Zoom on the H2n Handy Recorder, is
a technique that's been used for many years in film and broadcast,
where ambiance is crucial. Mid-Side recording combines a unidirectional
Mid mic that captures sound directly in front of you and a bidirectional
Side mic that captures sound from your left and right. By increasing
or decreasing the level of the Side mic, you can control the width
of the stereo field, which gives you incredible flexibility over your
recordings.
With its condenser
microphones in 30° to 150° Mid-Side stereo configuration,
the Q2HD gives you natural depth and accurate imaging. From live musical
performances, rehearsals and recitals to journalism, education, sports
and travel, the Q2HD's pristine audio is so realistic your movies
will let you relive the moment over and over again.
Mid-Side (MS) mics provide stereo width control
The Q2HD also
displays audio meters, allowing you to quickly set and monitor your
levels. Using the analog-type MIC GAIN wheel allows you to dial-in
the perfect amount of gain for any recording application. Or use the
Q2HD's Auto Gain Control to automatically set the recording level
for any given situation. And now with three presets for Auto Gain
control (Concert / Solo / Meeting) it's even easier to get great sound
no matter what you're shooting. For outdoor shoots, we highly recommend
using a windscreen (included in the optional APQ-2HD accessory package)
over the built-in mics.
Live
Stream in Real-Time.
Want to live stream
high quality audio and video from your gigs, special events and more?
With the Q2HD, now you can stream your videos through your computer
directly to the web. Simply connect your Q2HD to your computer via
USB cable (included in the optional APQ-2HD accessory package) and
start streaming like the pros. The Q2HD's streaming function is compatible
with Ustream Producer, Flash Media Live Encoder, Skype and other popular
streaming applications. And it works wonders with premium programs
such as Ustream Producer Pro or Studio. It's never been easier to
broadcast your movies on the web in real-time.
All
in HD.
With the Q2HD,
it's never been easier to shoot great videos. Select 1080p or 720p
for amazing clarity and detail no matter where or what you're shooting.
With a new lens and imaging sensor, the Q2HD captures exceptionally
clean video that is compressed with the industry standard H.264 video
codec. It also has a larger aperture than its predecessor, which lets
more light into your movies.
