Basingstoke, 10 November 2004 - Sony has confirmed that first European deliveries of the 

new HVR-Z1E HDV Professional Camcorder – priced at SRP €5,500 in EU Countries – will 

commence from February 2005, with over 40 additional benefits (compared with consumer 

version) for professional users. 

 

Joining the existing DVCAM range, the HVR-Z1E offers users an affordable migration path 

from Standard Definition whilst retaining the qualities of the popular DVCAM range such as 

ease of use and i-LINK (IEEE1394) connectivity.  Designed for the professional user, the HVR-

Z1E incorporates a number of significant features over consumer oriented products and 

includes: 

•  Switchable recording and playback of HDV, DV and DVCAM formats, providing the 

professional user with the flexibility to choose the format that suits the need of their 
production. 

•  50/60Hz (PAL/NTSC) switchable recording and playback 
•  2-channel balanced audio XLR inputs, with independent adjustment of input levels for each 

audio channel  

•  Colour and B/W switchable viewfinder 
•  Simultaneous operation of both LCD panel and viewfinder, giving professional users the 

opportunity to focus shots accurately via the viewfinder while simultaneously framing 
images via the fold-out LCD panel 

•  And many more! 
 

In addition to the professional HDV camcorder, Sony will also introduce a compact Video Tape 

Recorder - The HVR-M10E.  Like the camcorder, the VTR supports the recording and 

playback of DV, DVCAM and HDV formats and incorporates a 16:9 colour LCD viewing 

screen.  The compact VTR also benefits from both mains power and battery operation and is 

priced at SRP €3,600 in EU Countries. 

 

Emphasising the format’s suitability for low-cost HD migration, both the HVR-Z1E and the 

HVR-M10E feature HD/SD switchable operation (offering full 1080i resolution), plus on-board 

downconversion to output SD or HD signals. For even greater production flexibility, the 

professional camcorder also supports switchable 50/60Hz PAL/NTSC recording and playback.
