Features

Professional Shoulder-Mounted Design

To meet the widening demand of event videography such as weddings and concerts, the HVR-HD1000 comes in a shoulder-mounted design, without carrying the large price tag of traditional ENG cameras. The utilitarian benefit of this style camcorder is met equally by its professional appearance on the job.

Super SteadyShot Image Stabilization

The HVR-HD1000 comes fitted with a highly sophisticated optical stabilization system, making sure users get glass smooth shots even in less-than-ideal situations.

High Definition on MiniDV Tapes with HDV

The HDV format, used in the HVR-HD1000 allows high definition recording on standard MiniDV tapes. This is accomplished by using the very popular MPEG-2 compression technique used in many applications, including DVDs and satellite television.

ClearVID CMOS Technology

Sony's ClearVID sensor is positioned at a 45° angle. Since each pixel is positioned at this angle the result is far clearer diagonal lines. Images will appear crisper, without the apparent "jaggies" that often plague video signals.
