Sony HD MiniDV (HDV) Handycam®
Series highlights: Film-like progressive scan,
CinemaTone Gamma™ and CinemaTone Color™, three ClearVid™ CMOS Sensors,
29.5mm wide-angle to 590mm telephoto G-Lens, 20x optical zoom, superior
low-light shooting.
Capture Superb HD Video
Place the pinnacle of high definition in your hands with the HDR-FX1000 HD
MiniDV Handycam® camcorder. 24p Progressive Scan Mode delivers
high-quality, film-like motion for brilliant scene reproduction while
CinemaTone Gamma™ and CinemaTone Color™ provide the color and
gamma range to give your footage an amazing film-like feel. This HD camcorder
also features three 1/3-inch ClearVid™ CMOS image sensors with
Exmor™ derived technology for capturing sharp, detailed images even in
lower-light situations. Take control of light in extreme settings with three
built-in neutral density filters and three manual rings for adjusting zoom,
focus and iris.
In addition to 1080/60i recording, the HDR-FX1000 offers a 1080/24p and
1080/30p Progressive Scan mode that enables shooting with film-like
results. Signals scanned at 24p/30p are converted to 60i (using 2-3
pulldown for 24p) and recorded on MiniDV tape, allowing footage to be
played and edited using existing HDV products. In this way, progressive
images can be handled in the conventional HDV editing environment.
Users seeking extra control over image expression can use “Cinematone
Gamma” to deepen the color and “Cinematone Color” to recreate film-like
color tones. Cinematone Gamma allows operators to quickly set up and
load a gamma curve with similar contrast characteristics to a film
gamma curve.
The HDR-FX1000 features three 1/3” ClearVid CMOS Sensors, each having
1,120K total pixels. The 3 independent CMOS sensors each handle one of
the color elements – red, green, blue (RGB) – improving the color
reproduction of video recordings. Dark scenes can be captured with low
noise thanks to "Exmor"-derived technology that features a new column
A/D converter and dual noise reduction. Sensor resolution has been
optimized and the photosensitive surface area has been maximized thanks
to the unique grid arrangement of the photo diode sensors, in which
each is rotated by 45 degrees. This model also features the signal
processing circuit, the Enhanced Imaging Processor (EIP) which uses
Sony's unique image-processing technology.
The HDR-FX1000 is equipped with a 29.5mm wide-angle “G Lens” made from
advanced 10 group, 15 element lens including “Extra-low Dispersion
glass” which reduces chromatic aberration caused by light refraction,
and produces video with extremely low color fringing. Designed for
shooting situations ranging from broad landscape shots to conditions
where sufficient distance from the subject is difficult to obtain. The
20x optical zoom (29.5mm-590mm: 35mm conversion) lets you zoom in to
the subjects you can't get close to. The optical zoom takes maximum
advantage of the lens performance, so image quality does not suffer
even at a zoom ratio of 20x, allowing you to faithfully reproduce the
subject's impact. The digital extender increases zoom by 1.5 throughout
the range up to 30x at full zoom.
The EIP processor is able to rapidly process the vast amounts of pixel
data read from the "3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor", and record beautiful HD
and colorful video. The ClearVid CMOS Sensor™ has been developed using
the most advanced technologies in the semiconductor industry. It
handles video data in 1920 x 1080p and 4:2:2 color space for
high-quality signal processing before recording it to tape in the HDV
format.
Combined use of the EIP and 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor imaging system
allows the HDR-FX1000 camcorder to provide extremely high image quality
with a smooth gradation and detailed image reproduction.
