Sony HDCAM Digital Camcorder HDW-F900R |
 |
The new Sony HDW-F900
is a ground-breaking digital HDCAMª camcorder that extends both the companyÕs
unique digital heritage and its unrivalled experience in the art of imaging. The
physical resemblance of the HDW-F900 to the highly successful Digital Betacamª
camcorders is intentional, although there are some subtle but very relevant
changes that further enhance operational familiarity and ease of use. Because of
its outstanding picture quality and operational flexibility, this camera offers
an important new alternative to 24-frame film origination for major television
productions and commercials. The HDW-F900 is already accepted as the Digital
Movie Camera, ideal for exploring new horizons in digital movie-making. What
distinguishes the HDW-F900 from any contemporary camcorder is its ability to
capture and record digital high definition pictures Ð at 24 progressive frames
per second Ð just like a conventional film camera. Moving pictures are digitally
imaged in accordance with the CIF (Common Image Format) standard, which
specifies a sampling structure of 1920 active pixels horizontally by 1080 active
pixels vertically. What makes the HDW-F900 so universally exciting is that, as
well as recording at 24P, it is switchable to record at 25P, 30P progressive
scan, and also at either 50 or 60 Hz interlaced
