The Sony-Z1U is the latest generation miniDV camcorder to offer 1080i HD recording. And, it is the only one compatible with both NTSC and PAL formats. It offers a wide array of professional features not seen anywhere else, including the ability to record in 480i (576i), 480p or 1080i. It is compatible with HDV, DVCAM and standard miniDV cassettes in SP mode. It offers about twice the resolution of the old standard DV formats, and has advanced functions for film-like images.
The new HVR-Z1U features three newly developed Super HAD 1/3 CCDs. These new 16:9 native CCDs, combined with a high quality 12X Optical Zoom Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonna T* Lens and Sony's new 14 bit A/D and DXP Digital Extended Processor, result in 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.
