Sony HVR-Z1U

Professional HDV camcorder designs using either prism based three CCD sensors or Bayer-filtered CMOS sensors are just arriving on the market so it’s too soon to know whether HDV will succeed as the low cost alternative for HD production. The Sony HVR-Z1U is the first professional three-CCD camcorder to be released. JVC’s professional HDV camcorder a prototype displayed at the 2004 NAB conference will likely use a CMOS sensor to capture HDV at 720p and it’s expected to be released soon. Sony’s HVR-Z1U uses a prism based imager with three 1 by 3 inch Super HAD CCDs in the 16:9 aspect ratio.
