1. The new HVIe Z5E includes cutting edge features such as Sony s Exmor technology which utilises Exmor the full potential of the 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor system Exmor features the column parallel A D conversion technique and the dual noise cancelling method also used in the Sony s top of the line models Multiple A D analogue to digital converters on each pixel row convert analogue signals to digital as soon as they are generated unlike traditional technology that only has one A D converter on each chip Exmor technology can eliminate the influence of external noise that enters the signal chain during transfer to the A D converter resulting in high quality digital signals with extremely low noise This significantly enhances shooting in low light environments By adopting this groundbreaking technology the new 1 3 inch 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor system enables the HVR Z5E to achieve a low light sensitivity of just 1 5 lux At 1 25 shutter auto iris and auto gain HYBRID HYBRID Ready New G Lens Switchable Recording and Playback HDV1080i DVCAM DV The HVR Z5E can switch between HDV 1080 DVCAM and standard DV recording providing the ultimate flexibility to suit your production needs Built in Down converter for SD Production The HVR Z5E can convert material from 1080 down to 575i and output the video signals through its i LINK interface and other SD output connectors This allows users to edit recorded material with a comp2. atible non linear editing system using current DV editing software as well as record SD signals to an external VTR Letterbox mode is not available from the i LINK connector i LINK is a trademark of Sony used only to designate that a product contains an IEEE 1394 connector Not all products with an i LINK connector will necessarily communicate with each other For information on compatibility operating conditions and proper connection please refer to the documentation supplied with any device with an i LINK connector For information on devices that include an i LINK connection please contact your nearest Sony service centre Versatile Audio Input Selection The HVR Z5E features versatile audio input selection with a newly designed high quality built in stereo microphone as well as two XLR audio input channels for professional microphones or connecting to an external line audio source By adjusting the INPUT ASSIGN switch located on the side panel of the HVR Z5E you can easily assign the 2 audio input channels to the built in stereo microphone external line audio or dedicate one channel to each and record them separately or mixed When assigned to one channel the built in stereo microphone acts as a wide directional monaural microphone The high quality ECM XM 1 monaural microphone is a supplied accessory with the HVIR Z5E XtraFine LCD Panel A 3 2 inch type XtraFine LCD is located on the HVIR Z5E in the same position as on t
