Sony: Leading with 1080 HDVIn 2003, Sony in conjunction with JVC, Canon and Sharp collected their efforts to develop a system that would finally allow both professionals and consumers access to true High Definition acquisition at Standard Definition prices. Sony’s first professional HDV camcorder, the HVRZ1U, entered the market as the first 1080i HDV camcorder available and changed the way the world looked at High Definition forever. Starin assembled this HDV guide to make you aware of the significant advantages of Sony’s HDV equipment.

What is “HDV”?• HDV is a video format for the

user, regardless of their shooting environment or workflow, recording High Definition Video on standard DV tape, hard drive or compact flash.

• HDV is a cost-effective step up to the benefits of HD for videographers, independent film-makers, corporate and other professional users.

• HDV allows users to begin the move to HD as their workflow allows.

• HDV offers easy connectivity via i.LINK/Firewire, and fits perfectly in existing DV based Non Linear Editing (NLE) systems available from Sony and other vendors.

• HDV uses industry standard MPEG 2 coding at a data rate of 25 Mb/s, the same rate as DV and DVCAM.

What is HDV?

Sony developed the HDV2 format which features 1,080 effective scanning lines, using the interlaced scanning system, and 1,440 horizontal pixels. By using industry standard MPEG-2 compression (MP@H-14 for video), High Definition image data is processed into an 8 bit, 4:2:0 data stream at a data rate of 25 Mb/s. The HDV standard uses MPEG-1 Audio Layer II as an audio compression format at a sample rate of 48kHz and 16 bit resolution. The other HDV standard, (HDV1) is 1280 x 720 at 30 progressive frames / sec, which sacrifices overall static resolution to increase dynamic resolution.

Sony has long been the leader in 1080i production systems through their HDCAM and new HDCAM SR equipment. HDCAM has been used for feature film production and episodic TV programming for years, and is a world standard for high end production. Operating at a data rate of over 140 Mb/s, HDCAM certainly puts a lot more data on tape than HDV, but that doesn’t mean that there is a huge difference in recorded image quality. HDV, at 25 Mb/s, uses an efficient interframe MPEG 2 coding process that preserves high image quality by reducing the redundant or unchanging image data from frame to frame.

While it seems that 25 Mb/s is a low rate for High Definition video, keep in mind that terrestrial DTV HD broadcast is running at a maximum of 19 Mb/s. Satellite and cable HD channels and the proposed HD-DVD standards all use data rates between 6 and 20 Mb/s. The old mindset that compression is always a bad thing, or that less compression always means higher quality simply isn’t true.

Since their sensational debut in 2004, Sony HDV products adopting the HDV 1080i specification have provided and continue to provide cost-effective HD program production. With high picture performance and superb functionality, they are trusted around the world for a wide range of HD applications.

Select camcorders offer 1080/24p and 30p progressive scanning, in addition to 60i interlaced. The images captured at 24p are recorded on tape at a 60i field rate through means of 2-3 pull-down. Using a compatible nonlinear editor, this 2-3 sequence is recognized, allowing precise 24p editing of the HDV material. The 2-3 pull-down approach easily integrate into existing HDV systems operating in 60i mode.
