Sony HDC-1500, Multi-format HD Camera
(Discontinued) |  
| The HDC1500 is a multi-format HD portable camera
that offers a broad choice of interlace and progressive formats,
great picture quality, and enhanced operational flexibility.
 It incorporates a newly developed CCD imager and DSP LSI -
two key devices that allow the HDC1500 to achieve ultimate picture
performance in a variety of scanning modes.  The new CCD can
accommodate all existing interlace and progressive scan formats
ranging from 1080/50i and 1080/60i to 1080/24P.(*1)  And as a
future-protected device, it can also capture stunning 1080/60P
images - as well as deliver highest-quality 720/50P and 720/60P
images for operations today.(*2) 
 (*1) Also accepts 1080/59.94i and
1080/23.976P.  (*2) 1080/60P and 1080/50P signals can be
output from the HDC1000 camera head.
