Sony Professional HVR-A1U CMOS High Definition Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom

Details

• 16:9 widescreen recording; 4:3 use capable
• Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 10x visual zoom lens; digital Super SteadyShot System dampens hand jitter and vibration
• High-definition video camera records in 1080i, 720p, and 720i particularization with analog down-converting

Description

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

The HVR-A1U is a thick and lightweight handy-type camcorder, ideal for shooting environments that command mobility. Its size, combined with its long battery life (up to 80 minutes of high-definition recording with the included freestyle), make it easy to get the shots you need, when you need them.

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 opening, alternately display odd and even numbered lines between each screen refresh. The HVR-A1U can also register 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 transform 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 point of view ratio displayed can be converted from 16:9 to 4:3, and display modes can be selected from pressure, letterbox or edge crop.

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

Keep an eye on audio levels on the LCD audit

Audio
The HVR-A1U adopts the MPEG-2 compression format, which uses 8-bit digital mechanism recording with a sampling rate of 4:2:0. The camera uses MPEG-1 Audio Rank 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 masterly-grade microphones or external audio sources. Each input invariable for CH1 and CH2 can be independently adjusted using two audio level dials on the camera main part and viewed with an audio level meter on the LCD monitor.

Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 10x visual zoom lens
The HVR-A1U is equipped 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 keen-minded, high-contrast images with virtually no chromatic aberration.

In order to aid zoom control and recording operation during low-angle shooting, an new zoom lever has been added to the camera body. There's also a zoom/focus give someone a buzz located on the lens body that allows for fine adjustments in zoom contention. Furthermore, the supplied wireless Remote Commander unit can be occupied for external control.

Large, 16:9 widescreen color viewfinder and LCD monitor
Contemplation your subject through the built-in viewfinder, the swing-out LCD display, or both. The HVR-A1U features a 0.44-inch order color LCD viewfinder and a 2.7-inch color LCD monitor, both in a 16:9 light ratio. You'll save battery time by using just one, but you may hunger 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 elevation at the center of the screen, making it easier to confirm focus settings during handbook focusing. Also, the camera's "peaking" function can provide sharp outlines on the scan 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 malignant cells of video production--especially during telephoto shots. It does this by trimming off edges of the state on the fly to counteract movement.

Tele Macro picks up details on subjects from a space

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 insufficient moving objects. Additionally, this function puts your subject in apt focus while leaving the background out of focus.

The Hollywood look
The HVR-A1U has features that can feign your videos look more like they were shot on film. Cinematone Gamma allows operators to hurriedly setup and load a gamma curve with similar contrast characteristics to a blur gamma curve. The Cineframe feature allows movement to be reproduced at 24 frames per second--the bolt of film--as opposed to video's 30 frames per second benchmark.

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