Expanding New HD Shooting
Opportunities with an Unprecedented Level
of Compactness and Mobility
– the HVR-A1N HDV 1080i Camcorder
In response to the ever-increasing demands for HD program production, Sony launched the
new high-definition recording system adopting the HDV 1080i specification of the
HDV
TM
format – the HVR-Z1N camcorder and HVR-M10N VTR – in 2004. Upon that
introduction, these products have rapidly acquired a huge reputation from a wide range of
customers due to their outstanding picture quality, stunning performance, and
cost-effectiveness. Sony has now expanded the HDV line-up by introducing the HVR-A1N
camcorder to meet further evolving needs for HD acquisition.
The HVR-A1N is an extremely compact and lightweight handy-type camcorder, ideal for
applications where space is at a premium or extreme mobility is required. This camcorder
is equipped with a newly developed 1/3-inch type, 2.97-megapixel (total) CMOS sensor and
an all-new Enhanced Imaging Processor
TM
that optimizes the performance of the CMOS
sensor, providing outstanding high-definition picture quality.
In addition to HDV 1080i recording and playback, this camcorder offers the DVCAM
TM
/DV
recording and playback capabilities that are provided on current Sony DVCAM models.
A down-conversion capability of its 1080i recordings is also provided for a flexible choice of
production systems in HDV, DVCAM, or DV format.
Furthermore, the HVR-A1N incorporates a variety of convenient and professional features
such as XLR audio input, time code capability, various automatic shooting modes,
and still picture recording.
Available at an extremely affordable price, the HVR-A1N will be another powerful option
for HD field acquisition by all video professionals, bringing further broadened shooting
opportunities.
