HIGHLIGHTS

The Sony PMW EX1
This camera will give Metro Screen students and clients access to the opportunities tapeless media acquisition has to offer, it also offers a significant upgrade in image quality from HDV as it’s format is XDCAM HD which results in a true 1920 x 1080 image.
The camera offers high end professional features in a compact body, recording to SxS flash media giving faster than real time ingestion and seamless integration with Final Cut Pro. Output from the camera via USB 2, or from the supplied card reader, or insert the media card directly into a PCI slot.

With a fully featured Fujinon lens and the capability to shoot slow and fast motion and true progressive this camera is ideal for those wishing to step up to the next level of image quality, ideal for location and studio drama and high end corporate demands.

The HVR-Z7P
This camera is a significant upgrade from the Sony Z1P work horse, though housed in a similar sized body it is the first HDV handheld camcorder with an interchangeable lens system, native progressive recording, and solid-state memory recording.

The camera comes with a 12x high-quality, multi-purpose Carl Zeiss lens for HD video, and features a universal standard 1/3-inch bayonet mount mechanism for easier lens changes.

This unit captures HDV1080i, DVCAM, or DV and can record HDV/DVCAM/DV files to a standard Compact Flash solid-state memory card, while users are simultaneously recording to tape.

This camera is ideal for shooting corporate and documentaries but has the additional attractiveness of a more professional and adaptable lens system for those interested in extending the camera’s usefulness into the sphere of drama.
