1. Tiptop Electronics Offers Sony HVR-A1P HDV PAL
Camcorder available for just £1,799.00 from Tip Top
Electronics UK with fast shipping.The Sony HVR-A1P
HDV PAL Camcorder is the entry level HDV
camcorder that records high definition video as well
as DVCAM and DV standard-definition video. The
camera uses a single 3-megapixel CMOS chip to capture
images. The use of a CMOS (Complementary Metal
Oxide Semiconductor) chip allows the camera to capture
amazing high quality images while consuming less
battery power and making the camera smaller overall.
The Enhanced Imaging Processor (EIP), a Sony created
technology, enables the camcorder to capture and
process high-definition video and high resolution still
images with the highest levels of contrast and detail.
This model is specifically for PAL system video
applications.

The HVR-A1P realizes new levels of compact design
and efficiency with a single 3 megapixel CMOS
imaging chip. Compared to a CCD (Charged Coupled
Device), a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide
Semiconductor) works more efficiently and burns
less battery power. It uses both positive and
negative polarity circuits, only one at any given
time.
Professional Audio Inputs
As with its big brother the HVR-Z1 3-CCD
camcorder, this single chip camera offers
professional shooters balanced XLR audio inputs
with phantom power and attenuation options. A
shotgun microphone can be mounted on top the
camcorder as a large, shoulder-mount ENG style
camera would.

2. Zeiss Lens
The professional video and filmmaker will not be disappointed with the quality of glass at the front of
the A1U camera. Sony has engineered the camera around a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens for the latest
in anti-reflective coatings and new levels of HDTV-quality resolving power in a compact design. This
camera's a 10x zoom lens has a maximum wide angle of 5.1 mm which will show a 50° horizontal angle
of view.
1080 Lines Resolution
The HVR-A1P is a tiny camera capable of recording in several frame rates including NTSC. When it is set
up to record standard definition video this camera is an PAL device that stripes the tape at 30 interlace
frames per second. When it is selected to record in HDV it can record 50, 25 frames per second. Its
widescreen chip captures over 1000 horizontal lines and 1440 vertical lines no matter what you dial in
for record format.
