HDV Solutions for video pros

University Business, Jan, 2005

Sony has expanded its line of video options with its new HVR-Z1U camcorder and HVRM10U VTR. The camcorder can record HDV, DVCAM and DV images at 60i, 50i, 30, 25 or 24 frames per second in SD or HD. Its advanced design allows more light to reach each pixel in the imager, which improves the signal-to-noise ratio. The HVR-M10U VTR ($3,700) features record and play back functionality, DVCAM, and DV SP. In addition, the recorded image can be down-converted to SD output mode directly from the VTR. The HVR-Z1U retails for $4,900. For more information, visit www.sony.com.
