Sony Unveils Its First Complete Professional HDV System
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "HARDWARE" @ 11:00 AM
"Sony is expanding its line of professional video options with the introduction of a complete high-definition video production system. The new HVR-Z1U camcorder and HVR-M10U VTR form the core of an entry-level HD acquisition and playback solution, designed to provide video professionals with a flexible and affordable migration from standard definition infrastructures to the rapidly expanding world of HD. The HVR-Z1U HDV 1080 camcorder can record HDV, DVCAM and DV images at 60i, 50i, 30, 25 or 24 frames per second, in either SD or HD. The new camcorder uses three Super HAD™, 1/3-inch, 16:9 native CCDs. Combined with a 12X Optical Zoom Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar® T* Lens and Sony's new 14 bit A/D with Digital Extended Processor (DXP), the HVR-Z1U's advanced design allows more light to reach each pixel in the imager, improving the signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity."
They both look like very nice products. Very much out of my affordability range, but very nice nonetheless. The HVR-Z1U and the HVR-M10U are planned to be available in February, for about $4,900 and $3,700, respectively.
