Sony HDV

Smaller and lighter than you ever imagined. More affordable than you ever dreamed possible. Here is the professional-quality high definition solution you’ve been waiting for. Sony HDV™ 1080i recording has arrived.

HDV 1080i recording performs beautifully whether you’re jumping into high definition or staying in SD. That’s because Sony HDV products also record and play DVCAM™ and DV standard definition.

JVC ProHD

ProHD is the ideal solution for making the move to HD. It uses the same 19 Mbps low–bit rate HD adopted by broadcasters, cable companies, and satellite providers. Additionally, as most major NLE suppliers are developing plug-ins or version upgrades that can accommodate HD, you’ll be able to use much of the same editing hardware you use for SD with HD. Of course, you will need to invest in new cameras and VCRs when you transition to HD.
