HD for Everyone: compact new camcorder extends HDV format's
appeal
HVR-A1E adds latest-generation CMOS sensor, still shooting
mode and new features
True High Definition acquisition becomes even more accessible
as Sony introduces its most compact professional HDV camcorder
to date.
Weighing just 670 g, the new Sony HVR-A1E is an ideal choice
for a wide range of professional users seeking the quality
and convenience of the HDV format in the smallest, lightest
package yet with full 1080 line resolution. Building on the
strengths of the acclaimed HVR-Z1E, the new camcorder joins
the professional Sony HDV line-up. Thanks to its highly compact
design, it offers an ideal solution for applications where
space is limited or complete mobility is required.
Like other professional HDV products from Sony, the HVR-A1E
provides a 'bridge' between the worlds of HD and SD production,
thanks to its ability to capture and playback in HDV, DVCAM
and DV formats. Like the successful HVR-Z1E, the HVR-A1E incorporates
features that have designed with professional users in mind,
including:
- Built-in down-conversion to Standard Definition
- 2-channel Audio XLR inputs
- Time Code Preset
- 16:9 Viewfinder (Black & White, Colour switchable)
- 2.7-inch 16:9 Hybrid LCD monitor
In addition, other new functions include:
- Still image capture - Maximum pixel size for still images
is 2.8M (1920x1440) pixels in Memory Mode. Users can record
1.2M (1440x810) pixel images in Tape and Play/Edit Mode.
- Histogram Indicator - Users can check the brightness
of an object and easily adjust exposure by viewing this
graphical presentation.
- Tele Macro - This feature enables users to capture a
macro image from a distance. This is especially useful for
shooting smaller moving objects, and it also provides the
ability to make subjects more prominent against a backdrop
and to suppress shadow projection.
The HVR-A1E incorporates a new 1/3-inch primary colour 3
Megapixel CMOS sensor. Teamed with Enhanced Imaging Processor
technology, this provides wide dynamic range, lower power
consumption and a high quality image for professional results.
The HVR-A1E is expected to ship from the autumn.
