Like other professional HDV products from Sony, the HVR-A1 provides a ‘bridge’ between the worlds of HD and SD production, thanks to its ability to capture and playback in HDV, DVCAM and DV formats. Like the successful HVR-Z1E, the HVR-A1 incorporates features that have designed with professional users in mind, including:

• Built-in down-conversion to Standard Definition
• 2-channel Audio XLR inputs
• Time Code Preset
• 16:9 Viewfinder (Black & White, Colour switchable)
• 2.7-inch 16:9 Hybrid LCD monitor

• Still image capture – Maximum pixel size for still images is 2.8M (1920x1440) pixels in Memory Mode. Users can record 1.2M (1440x810) pixel images in Tape and Play/Edit Mode.
• Histogram Indicator – Users can check the brightness of an object and easily adjust exposure by viewing this graphical presentation.
• Tele Macro – This feature enables users to capture a macro image from a distance. This is especially useful for shooting smaller moving objects, and it also provides the ability to make subjects more prominent against a backdrop and to suppress shadow projection. 
 

The HVR-A1 incorporates a new 1/3-inch primary colour 3 Megapixel CMOS sensor. Teamed with Enhanced Imaging Processor technology, this provides wide dynamic range, lower power consumption and a high quality image for professional results.
