Blurring the line between consumer and Professional Video cameras Sony has created the HVR-Z1U camcorder. It adheres to the HDV Consortiums specifications for 1080i Recording on popular DV mini cassettes. This camera represents the widest array of professional features within a new standard of miniaturization. The HDV video standard will provide about double the Resolution of the old standard DV formats. The design of the camera is aimed directly at the filmmaker, the most modern event video producers and even widescreen news shooters. Because it records in High Definition and standard definition modes it can be used in a variety of production scenarios that may change from Client to client or evolve over time. It is NTSC and PAL system compatible as well.
Outputs Component video in 1080i, 480i and 480p formats
