Nano Shoots Video: H264 (640 x 480)

iNano

iPod nano now has a built-in video camera that lets you record fun as it happens. Then share it with friends on the Internet. It’s the video camera that’s small enough to take with you everywhere. Source

Introduction of video capturing technology through very light and compact iNano which may interest some video artists for size and portability. Quickly looking through the Technical Specs on the unit I find that it can capture H.264 VGA video at 640 by 480 pixels with up to 30 frames per second with AAC audio. Not bad, especially for the size.

If you prefer to capture some footage with effects, you can, and they include: Sepia, Black and White(Contrast the adjustment layers in Quicktime Pro and use Clips as Masks), X-Ray, Film Grain, Thermal, Security Cam, Cyborg, Bulge, Kaleido, Motion Blur, Mirror, Light Tunnel, Dent, Stretch and Twirl. Ha! Imagine running around the party few hours before your set collecting dozens of Tunnel vision clips onto that little 8 or 16 GB hard drive. Be honest, those can come in handy. Of course some might argue that PAL or high definition is the way to go for everything these days, but still,- special moments that captured at fairly decent size can add that little extra to the show.

You can check the quality of the clips on the iNano Video Page.

I’ll be ordering one shortly.
