An affordable way to enjoy High Definition
Through the HDV format Sony's HVR-Z1E allows you to capture High Definition pictures on a standard DV format cassette - providing both a highly cost effective format and full 1080 line resolution.

The ability to choose the most appropriate recording format for your production
With the Sony HVRZ1E, you are able to switch between HDV, DVCAM and DV recording giving you full flexibility to record in either Standard or High Definition depending on your production needs.

Designed for Professional Use
As a professional product, Sony recognises that your needs are different to that of a consumer. As a result the HVR-Z1E incorporates more than 40 extra functions over the consumer camcorder HDR-FX1E to help support you and your production needs.

Easy integration to the way you already work - convert from HDV to Standard Definition if required.
Continuity of Workflow can be very important. Enjoying the benefits of the HVRZ1E does not mean that you need to change the way you work. Like DVCAM, i.LINK (IEEE1394) provides connectivity to PC based editing systems. In addition, you can choose to shoot in HDV and use the in-built down-converter to output in DVCAM allowing editing and final production to be carried out in Standard Definition in the usual way.

Cinema-look Shooting
The HVR-Z1E offers the capability to provide a cinema-look to your production images using Cineframe^TM 25 Mode (25 frame progressive-look effect) and 2-mode Cinematone Gamma^TM.
