HVR-V1E
HDV/DVCAM/DV
The HVR-V1E supports recording and playback of HDV 1080i, DVCAM and DV.
1080/50i and 25p (progressive scan) acquisition
For the first time, Sony has introduced progressive scan acquisition to
its professional HDV camcorder range. In addition to typical 50i, the HVR-V1E
offers 25P progressive scan capture. This is ideal for those who wish to create
a more cinematic look and feel to their productions and lends itself
particularly well to those film-makers with smaller budgets. The 25p scan images
are recorded at 50i, and can be played back using existing HDV1080/50i HDV
products. In addition, 25p scan footage from the HVR-V1E is supported by major
NLEs (Non-Linear Editors) such as Sony, Adobe, Apple, Avid and Canopus.
3 ClearVid CMOS Sensors
The HVR-V1E is the first Sony professional camcorder to feature three
ClearVid CMOS Sensors. Coupled with Sony's Enhanced Imaging Processor (EIP),
these sensors provide high sensitivity, low noise and a wide dynamic range to
achieve high-quality images. The ClearVid CMOS Sensor also eradicates picture
smear and has 4 times high speed scanning capability enabling 'Smooth Slow Rec'
function.
20 x Optical Zoom Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* Lens
The Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* Lens features Extra-low Dispersion (ED)
Glass and a 20x optical zoom lens with F2.8 at the tele-photo end for greater
light sensitivity and long-range image acquisition for maximum shooting
flexibility.
2 x XLR Microphone Inputs
For enhanced audio options
Down-conversion
Like the other Sony professional HDV camcorders, users can choose to
shoot in HDV and then down-convert to DVCAM via the camcorder.
3.5" Clear Photo LCD
For image monitoring
Timecode Options
Including preset and synchronisation.
HDMI Output
For direct interface with HD ready consumer displays
IBC Amsterdam, 7 September
2006 - Sony today announced the addition of its latest professional
HDV camcorder, the
HVR-V1E,
to its wide range of professional HDV products, which includes
Sony's first and flagship HDV professional camcorder, the HVR-Z1E
and the compact and lightweight HVR-A1E.
"Our professional HDV
products have proven popular with the market and by the end of
September we expect to have shipped around 91,000 units worldwide
since introduction in January 2005." said Stuart Reed, Product
Marketing Manager at Sony Europe. "The
HVR-V1E
is the latest camcorder to join our expanding range of products and
with its progressive scan feature, provides film-makers with smaller
budgets greater choice when shooting their productions."
Sophisticated Camera System
The
HVR-V1E
has newly incorporated the "3 (three) ClearVid CMOS Sensor" imaging
technology. Coupled with Sony's Enhanced Imaging Processor?(EIP),
these sensors provide high sensitivity, low noise and a wide dynamic
range to achieve high-quality images. The ClearVid CMOS Sensor also
eradicates picture smear and has 4 times high speed scanning
capability enabling "Smooth Slow Rec" function.
The Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* Lens features Extra-low Dispersion
(ED) Glass and a 20x optical zoom lens with F2.8 at the tele-photo
end for greater light sensitivity and long-range image acquisition
for maximum shooting flexibility. A Digital Extender feature also
enables the tele-photo focal length to be extended by around 1.5
times to a maximum of 1100mm at 35mm conversion.
Progressive scan features with full HDV resolution
While the "3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor" system provides great picture quality in HDV
1080/50i video, the HVR-V1E newly supports 25p progressive scan feature. The
feature is ideal for producers that want a more film-like quality to their work
and lends itself well to film-makers on a smaller budget. Unlike
"progressive-look" picture interpolated from interlace scan camera system, the
HVR-V1E's "3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor" system natively captures progressive scan
image while maintaining full HDV resolution. 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.
Film-like picture quality has been enhanced by the Cinematone Gamma & Cinematone
Colour features as well as other sophisticated cinema related features such as
Last Scene Review.
Optional Hard Disk Recording Unit for greater work-flow options
In order to further enhance HDV acquisition, the new optional
hard disk recording unit, HVR-DR60, will be introduced. The HVR-DR60
can record HDV/DVCAM/DV stream from existing Sony HDV and DVCAM
camcorders via i.LINK for longer recording simultaneous recording
with tape and hard disk and faster upload to non-linear editing
system. In addition to these advantages common to the other Sony
camcorders, the combination of the HVR-DR60 and the
HVR-V1E
has more unique features, such as tapeless recording, instant status
check on
HVR-V1E's
panels and easy attachment with the
HVR-V1E.
Professional Features
The
HVR-V1E
has a range of advanced professional features, including:
-
A timecode
preset function
-
A TC Link to
synchronize time codes between multiple cameras
-
Two XLR
microphone inputs for independent sound recording
-
A Camera
Profile feature to adjust the camera settings of multiple
cameras for multi-camera operations.

HVR-V1E

of battery life with the NP-F970. In addition, it uses mini-size DV
cassettes that are capable of up to 63 minutes of continuous
recording in HDV mode using Sony DigitalMaster tape.
Other features of the
HVR-V1E
The additional features of the
HVR-V1E
include a 3.5" Clear Photo LCD plus viewing screen, HDMI
