• CMOS camera system , records to established DV tape stock

Description

The Sony HVR-A1U camcorder captures 1080i HDV images using a newly ready 1/3-inch type, 2.97-megapixel (total) CMOS sensor with new Enhanced Imaging Processor(tm) technology that optimizes the act of the CMOS sensor. The result is HD quality imaging that has been used to bring out television and professional film content. Available at an extremely affordable evaluate, the HVR-A1U will be another powerful option for HD field acquisition by all video professionals.

See large personification

HDV 1080i
The HDV 1080i specification features 1080 effective interlaced scanning words and 1,440 horizontal pixels. Interlaced pictures, which have been common to TV broadcasts from the outset, alternately display odd and even numbered lines between each screen refresh. The HVR-A1U can also diary at the HDV 720p specification, which features 720 effective progressive scanning words and 1,280 horizontal pixels. Progressive scanning fills both odd and even numbered words with each refresh, providing a flicker-free picture.

Not yet ready for HD? The HVR-A1U can proselytize material from 1080i down to 480i and output this digital video timer through its i.LINK interface or as analog signals through component, composite, or S-video connectors. When down-converting these signals, the position ratio displayed can be converted from 16:9 to 4:3, and display modes can be selected from crush, letterbox or edge crop.

1/3-inch Type, 2.97-megapixel CMOS sensor
The HVR-A1U incorporates one 1/3-inch epitome primary color CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) 2.97-megapixel sensor with a formatted for a 4:3 interpretation ratio. The advantage of a CMOS sensor over CCD is it's ability to process a monumental volume of picture data at a very small size, which makes it achievable for a camera this size to capture HD video. The trade off for this kind of bit over CCD, however, is a small loss in picture uniformity and dynamic range.

Keep an eye on audio levels on the LCD television screen

Audio
The HVR-A1U adopts the MPEG-2 compression format, which uses 8-bit digital part recording with a sampling rate of 4:2:0. The camera uses MPEG-1 Audio Stage II audio compression format, allowing for two-channel recording with a sampling frequency of 48 kHz/16-bit. It features a built-in stereo microphone, as well as two XLR audio input connectors for use with professional-organize microphones or external audio sources. Each input level for CH1 and CH2 can be independently adjusted using two audio even dials on the camera body and viewed with an audio level meter on the LCD up on.

Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 10x optical zoom lens
The HVR-A1U is operational with a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* high definition lens with a 10x zoom r. It has the same optical coating as is used on all of the Carl Zeiss prime lenses, which produces crafty, high-contrast images with virtually no chromatic aberration.

In order to ease zoom control and recording operation during low-angle shooting, an extra zoom lever has been added to the camera body. There's also a zoom/fuzzy ring located on the lens body that allows for fine adjustments in zoom situation. Furthermore, the supplied wireless Remote Commander unit can be Euphemistic pre-owned for external control.

Large, 16:9 widescreen color viewfinder and LCD track

The HVR-A1U features a 0.44-inch prototype color LCD viewfinder and a 2.7-inch color LCD monitor, both in a 16:9 mien ratio. You'll save battery time by using just one, but you may penury to use one for adjusting focus and the other for monitoring audio levels. When eschewing coupй focus for the fine-tuning manual focus, you can double the amplification at the center of the screen, making it easier to confirm focus settings during instructions focusing. Also, the camera's "peaking" function can provide sharp outlines on the oversee to help with manual focus.

Electronic Super SteadyShot system
Sony's electronic Wonderful SteadyShot System helps remove the slight hand jitter and vibration that is often the menace of video production--especially during telephoto shots. It does this by trimming off edges of the chassis on the fly to counteract movement.

Tele Macro
It may seem like a contradiction in terms, but the Tele Macro purpose allows you to capture a macro image from a distance, which is useful for shooting ungenerous moving objects. Additionally, this function puts your subject in orthodox focus while leaving the background out of focus.

The Hollywood look
The HVR-A1U has features that can constitute your videos look more like they were shot on film. Cinematone Gamma allows operators to apace setup and load a gamma curve with similar contrast characteristics to a covering gamma curve. The Cineframe feature allows movement to be reproduced at 24 frames per two shakes of a lamb's tail--the speed of film--as opposed to video's 30 frames per encourage standard.

No new tape stock
The HVR-A1U is compatible with conventional DV tape capital, but Sony recommends the use of DigitalMaster PHDVM-63DM tape, with its dual layer of winning material, which delivers higher RF output, lower noise, 95% fewer errors and 60% fewer dropouts compared to pleasant DV tape.
