HVR-V1U HDV Camcorder
Sony has taken the very popular Z1U HDV camera and improved
on it! Now, you have truly progressive imaging at 1080 resolution.
It's also smaller, has HDMI output and features a nice Zeiss zoom
lens.
 The
Sony HVR-V1U is an HDV camcorder designed specifically to incorporate
many of the features only afforded previously to Sony's high-end
digital cinema cameras. The V1U utilizes a sophisticated pulldown
system, giving shooters 24p capability for creating film-like
video.
With 24p, users can mimic the shutter of film, which is often
sought after for commercials and dramatic productions. Equally
important, Sony's 2:3 pulldown technique records into standard
60i streams, so no additional gear is required. All your existing
Sony HDV equipment will play 24p without a hitch! It couldn't
be easier.
The kit comes with a staggering variety of additional equipment,
including the HVR-DR60 hard disk recording unit, remote controller,
wide-angle conversion lens, dual-battery charger, lavalier microphone
system, Sony Vegas 6 editing software, hard case, and more! The
package will allow owners to realize the full potential of this
already capable HDV camcorder.Key Features

• High Definition on MiniDV Tapes with HDV
The HDV format, used in the HVR-V1U allows high definition recording
on standard MiniDV tapes. This is accomplished by using the very
popular MPEG-2 compression technique used in many applications,
including DVDs and satellite television.
• 24p Capability
In 24p mode, images from the CMOS can be 2:3 pulldown-converted
and recorded onto tape in the standard 60i HDV format. The tape
can then be played back or edited using an ordinary HDV system.
True 24p editing can be achieved by uploading 2:3 pulldown-converted
images via an i.LINK FireWire interface to a compatible non-linear
editing system. The resultant images resemble the visual motion
of film!
• ClearVID 3CMOS Technology
Sony's ClearVID sensors are positioned at a 45° angle. Since
each pixel is positioned at this angle, the result is far clearer
diagonal lines. Images will appear crisper, without the apparent
"jaggies" that often plague video signals.
• HDMI Output
Many consumer products are adopting High Definition Media Interface
(HDMI) connections for transmitting uncompressed digital HD video
signals. Sony has upped the ante by incorporating this into the
already extensive array of video output choices on the HVR-V1U.
Connect the camera to any HDTV via this interface and view all
your footage the way it was meant to be seen: purely digital!
• Dual-Charge Battery Adapter
The Sony AC-VQ1050D AC Power/Battery Charger provides quick recharging
to the InfoLithium L series camcorder batteries. It features an
AC adapter, LCD readout panel, and the capacity to charge two
batteries simultaneously.
• Lavalier Microphone
The Sony UWP-C1 is a complete UHF wireless lavalier system including
a camera-mountable receiver, body-pack transmitter and omni-directional
lavalier microphone. Both transmitter and receiver feature 188
user selectable, PLL synthesized UHF frequencies, resulting in
plenty of frequency options when experiencing interference.
• Wide-Angle Adapter
The Sony 0.8x wide-angle conversion lens features a 20% wider
angle of view for shooting in tight spots or creative expression.
The included sunshade, front lens cap, and back lens cap will
help protect it from damage. It even includes a convenient carrying
pouch to keep it safe when you're on the move.
