The HDR-fX1000 HDV Camcorder
Since their sensational debut in 2004, Sony HDV camcorder
products adopting the HDV 1080i specification have provided
and continue to provide cost-effective HD program production.
With high picture performance and superb functionality, Sony
is trusted around the world for a wide range of HD applications.
In line with its commitment to the HDV format, Sony introduces
the HDR-FX1000 – a stunning new model that extends the HDV
line-up into the world of digital cinema and drama productions.
The HDR-FX1000 offers 24p and 30p progressive scanning, in
addition to 60i interlaced. The images captured at 24p are
recorded on tape at a 60i field rate through means of 2:3
pull-down.
In its compact, lightweight and ergonomically designed chassis,
the HDR-FX1000 camcorder integrates advanced technologies
such as the newly developed 1/3" ClearVid
™ CMOS Sensors with
Exmor ™ derived technology imaging system - which is only made
possible by Sony’s industry-leading semiconductor technology -
and a stunning 29.5mm Wide-Angle to 590mm Telephoto
(20x optical zoom) G-Lens. Such features enable operators to
capture vibrant, highly detailed HDV images with an extreme
level of mobility, ease of use and operational comfort suited
for any shooting scenario.
In addition to HDV 1080i recording and playback*, the camcorder
also offers DV recording and playback capabilities. This bridge
between HD and SD allows the camcorder to be used in any
DV-compatible system, whether it uses the HDV, or DV format.
* HD viewing requires compatible HDTV and HDMI ™ cable, both sold separately.
