Specifications
The table below lists three HDV formats: HDV 720p, HDV 1080i and HDV 1080p, this is done for convenience only. HDV 1080p is not officially defined as a separate standard, but is included instead into HDV 1080i specification as optional format. All HDV camcorders that are capable of 1080p recording can also record native 1080i video.
