Sony HVRZ1U HDV camera

The Sony HVR-Z1U features three newly developed 16:9 native Super HAD 1/3" CCDs. Combined with a high quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar® 12X Optical Zoom lens and Sony's new 14 bit A/D and DXP Digital Extended Processor, the result is precise image acquisition with superb detail and clarity. The advanced CCD design allows more light to reach the pixel imager, reducing video noise and improving the signal-to-noise ratio. The new HVR-Z1U records this exceptional imagery using the recently adopted HDV 1080i format onto a DVCAM™ mini cassette. Would you like to shoot Standard Definition MiniDV? The HVR-Z1U does that as well. Rent the Sony HVR-Z1U at AMV!

Need a way to convert the HDV Firewire out of the camera to HDSDI? Or a way to get timecode out of the HVRZ1U? Or aspect ratio safety markers? Click here to see the Miranda HD-Bridge DEC!
