Stu that's the "e" model you're talking about. So the american "u" model probably shoots 24p!

so, is this just a "pro" version of the FX-7 (with different electronics to do the 50i/25p, XLR, etc.) but with same sensors?

3 CMOS. Dunno about a US version, but I'm sure there will be some sort of news about a potential one.

BY the way, in this file: http://www.sonybiz.net/images/produc...-V1E(brch).pdf it says on the prog scan thing : "The 25p signal is recorded as a 50i signal by dividing each frame into two fields. This allows the 25p progressive footage captured by the camcorder to be played back or fed to an editing suite using existing Sony equipment". So.... are we talking about an in-camera de-interlacer here?? Hmm. Not sure quite what Sony have done. sounds *maybe* like a bit of a fudge to me, but i think we need more info on that. |

"Compatible with existing HDV equipment & software Because the HVR-V1E's 25p scan signal is recorded as a 50i signal (by dividing each frame into two fields) it can be played back or fed to an editing suite using the thousands of Sony professional HDV equipment already in use throughout the world. Existing HDV nonlinear software can edit this 25p scan content and output the final master as: 1. A sequence of still images at 25 fps, for film out 2. A 25fps YUV (uncompressed) HD file, for output to Cinealta products 3. A 25fps SD MPEG2 file, for the highest quality DVD mastering possible 4. A 50i HDV file, for creating an HDV edit master 5. A 50i YUV (uncompressed) HD or SD file, for outputting to Digital Betacam or HDCAM for broadcast" I think the DVX and XL2 do the same thing, i.e. record a 24P signal onto a 60i stream. But it is true progressive scan. Last edited by Tim Le; September 7th, 2006 at 02:10 PM. Reason: Actual sensor resolution not known at this time |

Yep thanks Tim. After i'd re-read the sony blurb I too came to a similar conclusion that it IS capturing in true-prog-scan but has to chop each frame up and store as interlaced for backwards compatability reasons.
- thanks |

30p more likely?
Wouldn't 30p be more likely for the NTSC version? Assuming they're going to to use the same progressive-frame-divided-in-two type thing, I would expect this to be something more like the original Canon Elura, which had a 30p mode recorded within an interlaced signal.

Switchable PAL / NTSC ! same as Z1 - excellent stuff.
Also has Hypergain (i guess it will be up to +36dB), and a whole bunch of other stuff. Absolutely the HDV equivalent version of the PD170 and i'd think will be standard issue by media & broadcast companies in the future. |

Very cool! But since they say the Z1 will still be their "flagship" product, I wonder what features this new camera is missing?

As usually , sony is playing the same old game.
take the prosumer cam , paint it in black, add xlr input et voila ! no mention of HD-SDI output, same resolution as the good old FX1 or FX7. We were waiting a bit better from Sony... Now you can tell "You dreamed it, Canon has done it" |
