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 outlook ratio displayed can be converted from 16:9 to 4:3, and display modes can be selected from wrench, letterbox or edge crop.
1/3-inch Type, 2.97-megapixel CMOS sensor
The HVR-A1U incorporates one 1/3-inch font primary color CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) 2.97-megapixel sensor with a formatted for a 4:3 outlook ratio. The advantage of a CMOS sensor over CCD is it's ability to process a in general volume of picture data at a very small size, which makes it on for a camera this size to capture HD video. The trade off for this kind of marker over CCD, however, is a small loss in picture uniformity and dynamic range.

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 use. It has the same optical coating as is used on all of the Carl Zeiss prime lenses, which produces loud, high-contrast images with virtually no chromatic aberration.
In order to help zoom control and recording operation during low-angle shooting, an further zoom lever has been added to the camera body. There's also a zoom/converge ring located on the lens body that allows for fine adjustments in zoom settle. Furthermore, the supplied wireless Remote Commander unit can be occupied for external control.
Large, 16:9 widescreen color viewfinder and LCD track
View your subject through the built-in viewfinder, the swing-out LCD display, or both. 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 circumstance ratio. You'll save battery time by using just one, but you may indigence to use one for adjusting focus and the other for monitoring audio levels. When eschewing van focus for the fine-tuning manual focus, you can double the enhancement at the center of the screen, making it easier to confirm focus settings during guide focusing. Also, the camera's "peaking" function can provide sharp outlines on the track 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 pest of video production--especially during telephoto shots. It does this by trimming off edges of the design on the fly to counteract movement.

The Hollywood look
The HVR-A1U has features that can write out your videos look more like they were shot on film. Cinematone Gamma allows operators to without delay 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 sponsor--the speed of film--as opposed to video's 30 frames per right hand standard.
No new tape stock
The HVR-A1U is compatible with conventional DV tape beasts, but Sony recommends the use of DigitalMaster PHDVM-63DM tape, with its dual layer of beguiling material, which delivers higher RF output, lower noise, 95% fewer errors and 60% fewer dropouts compared to pleasant DV tape.
