Sony Announce Addition Of HVR-V1E HDV Camcorder

Sony has announced the addition of its latest professional HDV camcorder, the HVR-V1E, to its wide range of professional HDV products, which includes Sony’s 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.”
The HVR-V1E has newly incorporated the "3 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 four 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.
While the “3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor” system provides great picture quality in HDV 1080/50i video, the HVR-V1E 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.
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.
