Seeing is Believing – The Reality of Full HD
Samsung’s VP-HMX20C captures video at today’s highest resolution, 1920 x 1080 Full
HD. With a full complement of advanced technological features, the VP-HMX20C
provides the best image quality available and the ability to enjoy crisp, clear, natural
images in a wide variety of formats. The incomparable image quality leaves you with
videos so real, they must be experienced to be believed.
Full HD is Real HD
8-Megapixel Stills for Large Format Photos
The VP-HMX20C takes video at the highest digital visual resolution
available today, 1920 x 1080 Full HD. 1920 x 1080 Full HD video
means much more visual information, much greater clarity, brightness
and detail than ever before. It also means that your video will be an exact
pixel-by-pixel match for today’s very best large screen HDTVs. The result
is life-like video with more natural color and clarity, without the blurring or
digital noise you might well be used to.
Samsung’s Pixel-Rising technology utilizes a pixel-interpolation filter to
convert recorded stills to the equivalent of 8-megapixels, enabling large
format (11 x 17 in.) detailed prints of your images. This same technology
allows you to enlarge part of an image while retaining extraordinary detail.

As Sensitive to Light as You Are (ISO3200)
Progressive HD (1920 x 1080 Full HD)
Even with just 1 lux of illumination (candlelight, for example) the VP-
HMX20C has a High Sensitivity Mode that allows the amazing ISO3200
camcorder to take clear video or shoot 8-megapixel stills. This extra light
sensitivity means you get great stills in difficult lighting situations, without
the blur caused by longer exposure times.
Samsung’s VP-HMX20C delivers the very highest quality video by using
progressive scan technology. It records HD quality video in progressive
mode (30fps), so that the video is crisp and clear, regardless of how fast
moving the subject may be. Progressive scan technology produces
smooth images even when videos are played back at 2x, 4x or even 8x
the normal speed!
High-Speed Capture for Slow-Motion Detail
With the high-speed capture feature, the VP-HMX20C also lets you take
up to 10 seconds of video at an astonishing 300 frames per second
(fps), giving you ultra-detailed, crystal clear slow motion playback, useful
for analyzing a golf swing, dance movement, or any other motion that is
faster than the human eye.
Blurring by Hand Shaking
ISO3200 & EIS
A Wider, Brighter F1.8 Lens
The VP-HMX20C’s wide F1.8 aperture 10x Optical Zoom lens let’s more
light through to the sensor, giving you rich, bright, detailed images that
accurately reflect what you see with the naked eye. The high-
performance HD lens is manufactured to extremely exacting standards
to ensure minimal image distortion and astigmatic aberration, resulting in
the most natural, accurate, compelling video and stills available from a
camcorder today.
Smoother Video and Clearer Stills
Samsung’s Electronic Image Stabilizer (EIS) system gives you crisp, clean
images whether you are shooting movies or taking still photos.
Sophisticated software is able to detect unintentional camcorder
movement and compensate with micro adjustments to the image sensor,
resulting in blur-free photo stills and smoother, more natural video.

Digital Video Excellence
The Samsung VP-MX25/MX20 provides you with video footage of such a high quality
that it brings your memories to life with vivid, natural beauty. The VP-MX25/MX20’s
state-of-the-art imaging technologies combine to create a camcorder that gives you
the very best of everything; natural color reproduction, image stability, advanced noise
reduction, the highest quality lens, and the most pristine video footage you’ve ever seen.
3D Noise Reduction
New Integrated Chip Solution with Samsung
Technology
Experience the most naturally beautiful images with new Samsung
technology. Advanced Color Expression, Hyper Digital Image Stabilizer,
Super LCD plus, and Face Detection Auto Focus combine to make your
digital image dreams a reality.
The VP-MX25/MX20 transcends the boundaries of convention by
introducing 3D noise reduction that dramatically eliminates noise whilst
maintaining the original edge and pattern of the image. By analyzing
motion between the frames, the frames are split into pattern/edge
frames and differential frames and are passed through separate filters
which maintain the pattern and edge and remove noise. After filtering,
the frames are combined once more to make a cleaner, clearer image.
Longer battery life, extended recording time, and higher quality digital
imaging are enabled by the VP-MX25/MX20’s Samsung chip. By
designing and implementing a powerful single chip control system,
power consumption is dramatically reduced, allowing you to capture
more memories that can be treasured for the rest of your life.

Color as vivid as your memories
Digital Natural Color Processing creates an expanded palette of colors
that are closer to those seen in nature. By internally adjusting images
beyond RGB into 4 color CMYG spectral color matching, the VP-
MX25/MX20 is able to accurately recreate colors that are closer to those
your eyes see, closer to your memories, and closer to reality.
3D Motion Optimizer
3D Motion Optimizer Processing creates clearer, cleaner images. Unlike
conventional 2D processing, 3D processing compares previous and
following frames, divides the current frame into pixel blocks, detects noise
occurrence, and eliminates it efficiently without filtering the entire image.

Shoot without a care
For your convenience the stylish Samsung VP-MX25/MX20 is loaded with powerful
features that are designed to make your life easier and your video footage better. The
world’s longest battery life and recording time are enabled by recording in H.264
codec, providing you with footage that can be played on the H.264 supporting MP3
players and PMPs without transcoding.
Hyper D.I.S
Upgraded gamma correction
More recording time, more memories to treasure
Enjoy recording the highest quality video footage for longer with the VP-
MX25/MX20. Thanks to high performance H.264 Codec, Samsung VP-
MX25/MX20 record more of your memories than MPEG2 codec
adapted camcorders. Within the same capacity, VP-MX25/MX20
records 1.5 times more than MPEG2 codec. Its compressed video files
are faster to e-mail and upload to the web, which makes sharing as easy
as can be, with no loss of Image quality.
Share your memories, share your life
Unstable hands can cause camcorder footage to be shaky and blurred.
Thanks to its advanced computational power, the VP-MX25/MX20
realizes precision image stabilizing by multi-directional motion analysis
unlike most other digital image stabilizers using bi-directional one. Enjoy
clean and steady footage.
Real, natural color reproduction is enabled by our upgraded gamma
correction. Conventional adjustment separates the Gamma Curve into 8
steps but the Samsung chip divides it into 128 steps and adjusts each
of the RGB curves individually, to give an exquisitely detailed range of
color expression.
Sharing your life with friends and family becomes easier with the VP-
MX25/MX20. By selecting Web & Mobile mode, you can shoot in a
format perfected for H.264 supporting MP3 players and YouTube. The
video files recorded by the VP-MX25/MX20 can easily be applied to a
transfer program and played on an H.264 supporting MP3 player. The
YouTube uploader in the Mediashow software bundle enables direct
YouTube upload which bypasses the YouTube homesite.
