Coming on the heels of Sony Europe’s announcement of the HVR-V1E and
companion hard-disk drive during IBC, Sony U.S.A. this morning
introduced the HVR-V1U HDV camcorder and HVR-DR60 hard-disk drive. The
camera’s most notable new feature is, like the European version,
1080/24p true progressive scanning and a three-CMOS sensor design.
4:2:2 color sampling is achieved through Sony’s own Enhanced Image
Processor and users can save and load camera settings via Memory Stick
Duo.

approximately 80 Mbps.
