Most camcorders come with just one lens to capture whatever is going on on the other side, but the Twin Video device features cameras that shoot both ways, alongside a couple of microphones. Whenever you start to capture a video clip of your choice, you are able to set which image within the picture-in-picture area, while the other will be the full-sized master. In addition, you can opt to split the display equally amidst both. Just what are some of the more practical uses of that aspect? For instance, you are able to conduct “interviews” with folks who want to see themselves in the video itself alongside footage of rollercoasters and merry-go-rounds. All video files are stored on SD/SDHC memory cards, where file transfer is done via USB (or by inserting the memory card into a card reader). No word on pricing, but the Twin Video ought to be out sometime later that year. Sounds like a fun summer device to own!
