Sony HVRV1P HDV Camera |
|
The new HVR-V1P is a compact and lightweight professional HDV camcorder - sharing similar dimensions to the popular DSR-PD170P
The HVR-V1P is the first Sony professional to incorporate 3 ClearVid CMOS sensors. Coupled with Sony's Enhanced Imaging Processor (EIP) these sensors provide high sensitivity, low noise and a wide dynamic range to help achieve high-quality, smearless images.
In addition to offering 1080/50i acquisition, it also provides 25p shooting - making it ideal for film-makers with smaller budgets and those who wish to create a more cinematic look and feel to their production. Unlike 'progressive-look' pictures interpolated from interlace scan camera systems, the HVR-V1P's "3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor" system natively captures progressive scan images while maintaining full HDV resolution (1080). Moreover, footage shot using the progressive scan feature can be played back on any Sony HDV professional camcorders and VTRs and can be edited with major current non-linear editing systems, including Sony, Adobe, Apple, Avid and Canopus.
Other professional features include timecode preset function, two XLR microphone inputs, a timecode link to synchronise time codes between multiple cameras and HDV/DVCAM/DV recording and playback for flexible workflow options. |
