The Flip Video cameras were a series of tapeless camcorders for digital video created by Pure Digital Technologies, a company bought by Cisco Systems in March 2009; variants included the UltraHD,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Flip UltraHD - High definition video cameras & reviews from Flip Video Cisco )〕 the MinoHD,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Flip MinoHD - High definition video cameras & reviews from Flip Video Cisco )〕 and the SlideHD.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Flip Slide HD - High definition video cameras & reviews from Flip Video Cisco )〕 Flip Video cameras were known for their simple interface with few buttons, minimal menus and built in USB plugs (from which they derived the flip name), and were marketed as making video "simple to shoot, simple to share" Production of the line of Flip video cameras ran from 2006 until April 2011, when Cisco Systems discontinued them as part of a move to "...exit aspects of (their) consumer businesses." .〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= For Flip Video Camera, Four Years From Hot Start-Up to Obsolete )〕 Flip cameras contributed to an increase in the popularity of similar "Pocket Camcorders", Although the inclusion of HD video cameras in many Smartphones starting around 2011 has since made them a more niche product. == Features == Flip cameras can record videos at different resolutions. FlipHD camcorders digitally record High-definition video at 1280 x 720 resolution using H.264 video compression, Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) audio compression and the MP4 file format, while the older models used 640 x 480 resolution. 〔(Flip Video - See the Specs )〕 The MinoHD and SlideHD models had an internal Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Battery included, while the Ultra series included a removable battery that could be interchanged with standard AA or AAA batteries All models lacked memory card extension slots, though the Flip UltraHD(2 hr) could record to a storage device via FlipPort. Models could be connected to a computer with a flip-out USB connector, without the need for a USB cable. Flip Cameras recorded monaural sound, and used a simple clip-navigation interface with a D-pad and two control buttons which allowed for viewing of recorded videos, starting and stopping recording, and digital zoom. The third and final generation of Flip UltraHD cameras retailed for $149.99 and $199.99 for 4GB (1 hour) and 8GB (2 hour) models respectively, incorporated digital stabilization, and increased the frame rate from 30 to 60 frames per second. has a new feature called FlipPort. With FlipPort, users can plug in external accessories. There is no way to use any model to record or play from other source than from objective. All Flip cameras included the required video player and 3ivx codec software, FlipShare , in the camera itself rather than providing an external CD-ROM installer. For all models after 2010, an HDMI cable could stream videos to TV screens. Later Flip Video models came in a variety of colors, and could be custom ordered with designs digitally painted on. Accessories for the Flip Video camera included an underwater case, a mini-tripod, a bicycle helmet attachment, and a wool case (Mino camcorders) or soft pouch (Flip UltraHD), rechargeable battery replacements for the UltraHD series, and an extension cable. Flip Video's accompanying software was called FlipShare, which facilitated downloads of videos, basic editing, and uploading to various websites. After the release of version 5.6, FlipShare no longer included a function to convert video to WMV format. While this has been acknowledged by Cisco as a defect, a fix has yet to be announced. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flip Video」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
