Of course it is real HD. HD refers to the resolution that the image is capture and delivered at. High Definition is something higher than Standard Definition.1280x720 or 1920x1080 are the ONLY HD resolutions. The HD signal you get in your HDTV is compressed MPEG-2 to about 5-6Mbps. BluRay is 15-20Mbps MPEG-4 AVC or VC-1. Everything is compressed even raw formats (ie. HDV = compressed, DVCPROHD = compressed).
