INTRODUCTION
The High-Definition, All-in-One, Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) EVI-HD1 Colour Video Camera Brings Scenes to Life
Sony, a leader in developing PTZ cameras and a long standing leader in HD technology, is combining its strengths with the
introduction of its first high-definition PTZ camera. Joining the popular EVI family, this unique camera allows you to take your
first step towards HD migration with the flexibility to output analogue or digital video
signals – from standard definition (SD) to full high definition (HD). Conference rooms
everywhere are making the transition to HD and the Sony EVI-HD1 makes this
change effortless. The EVI-HD1 HD Colour Video Camera employs a 1/3-type
HD CMOS image sensor boasting two million effective pixels and can be
used in combination with any number of codecs and other systems to
produce high-quality, high-resolution images. The EVI-HD1 inherits many
outstanding features from the popular EVI-D100 PTZ camera and couples
these with superb HD picture quality. With its wide field of view, built-in 
10x optical zoom lens, 16:9 aspect ratio image and high-speed, quiet 
pan/tilt operation, the EVI-HD1 can cover subjects across wide
areas, with minimal disturbance. Combining convenient features
