After the station was moved to smaller cameras, it became possible for the journalists to travel in compact cars, which were 10 to 15 times cheaper than traditional large ENG vans . In February 2009 ITV News bought 68 Sony HVR-Z5E handheld camcorders for its multi-skilling journalists. The camcorders, which come with non-removable 20x lens and outfitted with CompactFlash recorders became popular among journalists who are not trained camera operators. In

It features
504-520: A separate converter. The original 1080-line HDV specification defined interlaced recording only, which is suitable for television broadcast. As users have become increasingly interested in digital cinematography and in web videos , progressive recording became a necessity. In response to this need, capability for native progressive recording has been added to the 1080i HDV specification. Progressive recording modes are optional for 1080i HDV devices, which means that not every HDV 1080i camcorder or deck
576-485: A whole program. Producers wishing to use HDV were required to submit an approved postproduction path outlining their handling of the footage in the editing process. The Discovery Channel HD simulcast had fewer or no guidelines and accepted a mix of XDCAM HD, HDV and AVCHD for the length of a program. For example, Discovery Channel aired 911: The Bronx , a six-episode reality series set in a hospital and shot with HDV cameras. Several episodes of Survivorman were shot with
648-634: Is 10–25% lower than resolution of interlaced video. In 2008 Sony released its own models capable of native progressive recording: the HVR-S270, the HVR-Z7 and the HVR-Z5. Sony stressed out that the models handle the signal entirely in progressive mode all the way from capture to encoding to recording on tape to output. Sony has designed Native Progressive Recording logo for the devices that are capable of native progressive recording and playback. In 2009 Canon released
720-597: Is a list of camcorders manufactured under the Canon brand . The XF100 and XF105 are tapeless camcorders released in January 2011. The two camcorders are the same, except the XF105 has a Genlock , Timecode, and HD/SD-SDI terminals. The units record to Compact flash cards(2 slots), which can be changed while recording. The XF100 and XF105 feature two XLR inputs and one 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack for recording audio. The video
792-545: Is a mode for recording progressive-scan standard definition video. Such a video is sometimes called enhanced definition video ( EDTV ), but is considered high definition video in Australia. Depending on region, HDV-SD video is recorded either as 576p50 or as 480p60. Like DVCPRO Progressive , HDV-SD was meant as an intermediate format during the transition time from standard definition to high definition video. Later models of HDV 720p camcorders do not record in this mode. JVC

#1732855538397864-579: Is a single CCD Mini DV camcorder . It was sold in North America under the name Optura 100 MC. Still images may be recorded onto an SD flash memory card with an image resolution of either 1280×960 or 640×480 and an image quality of either fine or standard. When held in the hands, the Canon DV 012 is a sturdy camcorder that imparts a heavy feeling of ruggedness. It was replaced by the Optura 200 MC, which has
936-652: Is called DIGIC DV II ( DIG ital I mage C ore – D igital V ideo version II ). The technology is similar to the DIGIC II that Canon uses for their digital still cameras . Much of the technology is being kept under wraps, and the manufacturer of the CCDs is being kept secret. The XL H1 was shipped by Canon in one of two basic configurations, aiming the unit at either NTSC or PAL markets. The NTSC configuration supports NTSC DV and NTSC HDV 1080i 60, 30f and 24f. The PAL configuration supports PAL DV and HDV at 1080i50. A modification
1008-530: Is capable of recording or playing back native progressive video. Because HDV 1080i specification now includes both interlaced and progressive recording modes, in recent publications it is often called HDV 1080 or 1080-line HDV , but the official name still bears the "i" suffix. HDV camcorders capable of native 1080-line progressive video record it at rates of 23.98 frame/s (commonly referred to as "24p") and 29.97 frame/s ("30p") for 60 Hz markets, and at 25 frame/s ("25p") for 50 Hz markets. Video
1080-806: Is created for each take. The way files are named depends on capturing software. Some systems convert HDV video into proprietary intermediate format on the fly while capturing, so original format is not preserved. HDV footage can be natively edited by most non-linear editors, with real-time playback being possible on modern mainstream personal computers. Slower computers may exhibit reduced performance compared to other formats such as DV because of high resolution and interframe compression of HDV video. Editing performance can be improved by converting HDV to intermediate format prior to editing. These include various Cineform products, Edius HQ, Avid DNxHD , Apple Intermediate Codec and Apple ProRes 422 , among others. Usage of an intermediate codec adds one more generation to
1152-456: Is encoded with the H.262/MPEG-2 Part 2 compression scheme, using 8-bit chroma and luma samples with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling . Stereo audio is encoded with the MPEG-1 Layer 2 compression scheme. The compressed audio and video are multiplexed into an MPEG-2 transport stream , which is typically recorded onto magnetic tape, but can also be stored in a computer file . The data rate for both

Some HDV 1080i camcorders are capable of recording progressive video within an interlaced stream, provided that the frame rate does not exceed half of the field rate . The first HDV 1080i camcorder to implement such Progressive Scanning was the Sony HVR-V1. To preserve compatibility with interlaced equipment
1296-427: Is not a video recording format, but "an approach for delivering affordable HD products" and a common name for "bandwidth efficient professional HD models". Sony adapted HDV, originally conceived as progressive-scan format by JVC, to interlaced video. Interlaced video has been a useful compromise for decades due to its ability to display motion smoothly while reducing recording and transmission bandwidth. Interlaced video
1368-675: Is output as true progressive video via an i.LINK/FireWire port. Output through other ports is performed in interlaced mode to preserve compatibility with existing interlaced equipment. The first 1080-line HDV camcorder to offer recording in native progressive format was the Canon XL ;H1, introduced in 2006. It was followed by the XH-G1 and XH-A1 . When shooting in progressive mode, also known as Frame mode , these camcorders generate progressive video from interlaced CCD sensors. Because of row-pair summation, vertical resolution of progressive video
1440-730: Is performed via component, HDMI and FireWire in interlaced form. Progressive scan video must be properly deinterlaced to achieve full vertical resolution and to avoid interlace artifacts. 25P and 30P video must be deinterlaced with "weave" or "no deinterlacing " algorithm, which means joining two fields of each frame together into one progressive frame. This operation can be done in most editing tools simply by changing project properties from interlaced to progressive. 24P video must go through film-mode deinterlacing also known as inverse telecine , which throws out judder frames and restores original 24-frame/s progressive video. Many editing tools cannot perform film-mode deinterlacing, requiring usage of
1512-565: Is recorded to the MXF file format. NTSC configuration The Canon XL-1 is a three-CCD standard-definition camcorder made from 1998 to 2001. The camera was designed for the prosumer market. The successor to the XL-1s is the Canon XL-2. The XL-1 and XL-1s have many features of a high-end camera such as interchangeable lenses, viewfinders, and XLR inputs. Many features of the XL-1s were carried over into

#17328555383971584-923: Is regarded as perceptually lossless . Two major versions of HDV are HDV 720p and HDV 1080i . The former is used by JVC and is informally known as HDV1 . The latter is preferred by Sony and Canon and is sometimes referred to as HDV2 . The HDV 1080i defines optional progressive recording modes, and in recent publications is sometimes called HDV 1080 or 1080-line HDV as progressive 1080-line recording becomes commonplace. HDV 720p format allows recording high definition video (HDV-HD) as well as progressive-scan standard definition video (HDV-SD). HDV-HD closely matches broadcast 720p progressive scan video standard in terms of scanning type, frame size, aspect ratio and data rate. Earlier HDV 720p camcorders could shoot only at 24, 25 and 30 frames per second. Later models offer both film-like (24p, 25p, 30p) and reality-like (50p, 60p) frame rates. HDV-SD
1656-639: Is still being used in acquisition and broadcast, but interlaced display devices are being phased out. Modern flat-panel television sets that utilize plasma and LCD technology are inherently progressive. All modern computer monitors use progressive scanning as well. Before interlaced video is displayed on a progressive-scan device it must be converted to progressive using the process known as deinterlacing . Progressive-scan television sets employ built-in deinterlacing circuits to cope with interlaced broadcast signal, but computer video players rarely have this capability (especially modern ones, since progressive video
1728-525: Is the big brother to the GL family and the successor of the similar looking Canon XL-1s. It is succeeded by the Canon XL-H1 with a similar 20x lens and similar design, but in black. The Canon XL-2 was designed to be very customizable, along with an array of pro-grade features. Some of these include: The camera also has 2 XLR inputs in the back, as well as the capability to add 2 more with an adapter that plugs into
1800-502: Is the first consumer-grade camcorder to shoot 1080p24 . Consequently, it has become popular with low-budget film/video makers. It is the successor to the HV10, which was Canon's first consumer HDV camcorder. The NTSC-region camera shoots at 24p which gives a film-like look in PF24 mode, using 2:3 pulldown in a 60i stream. In PAL regions, it can record in native 25p mode and as such does not require
1872-494: Is the same as DV Standard Play. Unlike DV, HDV does not offer Long Play speed. A standard MiniDV cassette provides one hour of recording. By using cassettes with longer and thinner tape it is possible to record up to 80 minutes onto one MiniDV cassette, though usage of such tape is not recommended. A large DV cassette loaded with longer tape can deliver up to 4.5 hours of recording time. Tape manufacturers also offer MiniDV cassettes specifically for HDV recording. Such cassettes have
1944-482: Is used on the sensor, and the entire 1440 × 1080 sensor is used for 16:9 standard definition recording. Customizations to the image on the camera include gamma , knee, black levels, color gain, and sharpness settings. These settings allow the operator to develop a look for the production within the camera. Shooting modes of both HDV and DV include 60i, 30F, and 24F for a 60 Hz version. 50 Hz version offers recording modes of 50i and 25F. Vertical resolution of
2016-470: Is via a D3 connector more commonly seen on Japanese consumer electronics. To preserve compatibility with existing interlaced equipment, 480i composite video is always available via either a BNC connector , or a 3.5mm TRS connector . Video shot in DV "F" mode is recorded to tape in interlaced format. Canon released its model XH A1S and XH G1s in 2008. Updated features include acceleration/deceleration control of
2088-580: The HV20 camcorder. The version for 50 Hz market featured PF25 mode with PsF-like recording, while the version for 60 Hz market had PF24 mode, which utilized 2-3 pulldown scheme. Progressive scan video recorded with the HV20 does not include flags necessary for performing automated film-mode deinterlacing, which is why most editing tools treat such video as interlaced. The HV30 , released in 2008, implemented additional PsF-like PF30 mode for 60 Hz markets. Output
2160-526: The Canon GL-2 and XL-2. The Canon XL-1 and the XL-1s were designed to be very customizable. The camera's features include: The feature-length film 28 Days Later was partly shot using an XL-1. The camera was also used by the character Freddie Benson on the TV show iCarly , to shoot the in-universe webshow. The Canon XL-2 , released in 2004, is Canon's prosumer 3CCD standard-definition camcorder. The XL-2
2232-503: The Edge was produced for PBS in HDV format using Canon XL-H1 camcorders. The Travel Channel HD eagerly accepts HDV footage. For example, Sony HDV camcorders were used for production of highly acclaimed Anthony Bourdain 's No Reservations program, among other cameras. Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern and its follow-up Bizarre World are shot with Sony HDV cameras as well. Madventures

2304-431: The HDV format. Therefore, HDV remains a tape-based format. Various solutions for tapeless recording of HDV video that are available on the market are not covered by HDV specification. Most HDV camcorders use "small" DV cassettes also known as MiniDV cassettes. The Sony HVR-S270 shoulder-mount camcorder is capable of recording both onto "small" and "large" cassettes. Because HDV has the same data rate as DV, recording time
2376-610: The HDV standard resolution of 1440×1080 pixels and has 3 native interlaced 1440×1080 CCDs (The photosites are 1.33:1 aspect ratio, allowing for a full 16:9 frame) where Sony's HVR-V1U has 960×1080 diagonal photosites, and Panasonic's AG-HVX200 pixel shifted 960×540 (goes to 1280×1080 but theoretically with pixel shift, has a resolution of 1440×810). The camera can also shoot in standard definition in either 16:9 or 4:3. It has an HD-SDI uncompressed output. There's also component uncompressed HD output. NTSC configuration : PAL configuration : Users could pay for Canon to re-configure
2448-659: The HV40 HDV camcorder. Its 60 Hz variant, carrying prominent 24p native progressive mark, became the first consumer HDV model to offer 24-frame/s native progressive recording. Like the aforementioned Sony models, the HV40 uses true progressive-scan sensor. Despite differences in branding, native progressive modes offered by Canon and Sony are fully compatible, with both companies adhering to HDV specifications for recording native 1080p video. Other HDV devices capable of reading and recording in native progressive 1080-line format include
2520-489: The HVR-V1 records and outputs video in interlaced form. 25-frame/s and 30-frame/s progressive video is recorded on tape using progressive segmented frame (PsF) technique, while 24-frame/s recording employs 2-3 pulldown . The camcorder offers two variations of 24-frame/s recording: "24" and "24A". In "24" mode the camera ensures that there are no cadence breaks for a whole tape, this mode works better for watching video directly from
2592-542: The HVR-V1, Sony was offering Cineframe , essentially an interlaced-to-progressive converter, to simulate film-like motion. The conversion process involved blending and discarding fields, so vertical resolution of the resulting video suffered. Motion, produced in the 24-frame/s variant of Cineframe was too uneven for professional use. The same or better film look effect can be achieved by converting regular interlaced video into progressive format using computer software. In 2007 Canon commoditized progressive scanning, releasing
2664-724: The Sony HVR-M15AU, HVR-25AU, HVR-M15AE, HVR-25AE and HVR-M35 HDV videocassette recorders, and the 60 Hz Canon HV20/HV30 camcorders when used in tape recorder mode. Generally, HDV devices are capable of playing and recording in DV format, though this is not required by HDV specification. Many HDV devices manufactured by Sony are capable of playing and recording in DVCAM format. 1080-line devices generally are not compatible with 720-line devices, though some standalone tape decks accept both HDV flavors. Devices that can play and record native 1080p video can play and record native 1080i video, however

Depending on particular camera make and model and on post-production process, HDV footage could be rated as Silver HD, Bronze HD, or widescreen SD. In particular, some users considered Canon HDV camcorders to deliver
2808-422: The TV series JAG made for CBS , handheld HDV camcorders were used for scenes where larger HD cameras would have been impractical. The BBC does not consider HDV to meet HD broadcast standards, therefore acceptability of HDV footage for HD programming is limited to 25% of the program's total duration. The Discovery HD Theater accepted content sourced from 1080-line HDV camcorders, but limited it to 15% of

The Canon XL H1 is Canon's first HDV camcorder with interchangeable lenses. It is the successor to the Canon XL-2. It can shoot in
3096-624: The addition of the XL H1A and XL H1S. The H1A and H1S are almost exactly the same except for the exclusion of the "Jackpack" (HD SDI, Genlock, Timecode) on the H1A. The kit lens includes an iris ring and a more sensitive zoom. The H1S and H1A also have a stronger headphone jack. They are no longer made out of plastic, but metal, making them less prone to breaking. The XH A1 and the XH G1 are professional handheld HDV camcorders manufactured by Canon. The form factor of
3168-444: The audio and video is constant and is roughly the same as DV data rate. The relatively low video data rate can cause bit rate starvation in scenes that have much fine detail, rapid movement or other complex activity like flashing lights, and may result in visible artifacts , such as blockiness and blurring. In contrast to the video, HDV audio bitrate is relatively generous. At the coded bitrate of 384 kbit/s, MPEG-1 Layer 2 audio

The camera is capable of recording in both HDV and DV formats, on MiniDV , though it's unable to record 24p in the DV format. HDV Conceived as an affordable high definition format for digital camcorders , HDV quickly caught on with many amateur and professional videographers due to its low cost, portability, and image quality acceptable for many professional productions. HDV and HDV logo are trademarks of JVC and Sony. HDV video and audio are encoded in digital form, using lossy inter frame compression. Video
4248-432: The same technology used in many of their Single-lens reflex camera lenses. The lens body has three rings affecting focus, zoom and aperture; however, these rings do not manually drive the lens. Instead, sensors measure the movement of the rings and electronically drive the lens through built-in motors allowing for smoother operation and more feedback telling the user exactly what focal range, aperture f-number and zoom number

#17328555383974464-401: The show was canceled in 2009. Because HDV video is recorded in digital form, original content can be copied onto another tape or captured to a computer for editing without quality degradation. Depending on capturing software and computer's file system, either a whole tape is captured into one contiguous file, or the video is split in smaller 4 GB or 2 GB segments, or a separate file
4536-664: The top and takes a Li-ion battery. It weighs 620 grams. The MVX250i (as it is known in Europe ), or the Elura 70 (as it is known in North America ), is a digital video camera manufactured under the Canon brand . One of its features is an optional aspect ratio of 16:9. The Canon L1 , LX-1 (in Japan ), or EX1Hi (in Europe ), is a consumer Hi-8 video camcorder released in March 1991. The L1
4608-615: The updated versions XH-A1s and XH G1s came out in December 2008. The Canon XH A1 has been used in a variety of applications in broadcast, on-line, and theatrical productions. Use of the camera in professional applications includes the Chicago Tribune 's on-line videos, and the camera was used for the production of the motion picture Crank: High Voltage . The camera is capable of shooting and recording with either 60 Hz or 50 Hz scanning rates. The default rate depends on
4680-456: The video, potentially degrading its quality. On another hand, an intermediate codec can reduce blockiness and fix other issues in the original video, like interlaced chroma in progressive recordings. Depending on the non-linear editing system (NLE), it is possible to minimize generation losses by editing native HDV video using straight cuts only, with no effects, and rendering back to HDV. Up to 15 frames per each cut may be re-encoded because of
4752-404: The zoom, separate audio sensitivity settings for the two input XLR audio channels and the ability to simultaneously record sound from the input and external microphone. The built-in lens has a focal length of 4.5 mm - 90 mm (equivalent to 32.5 mm - 650 mm for 35 mm), with a maximum f/stop of f/1.6. Canon also includes its image stabilization technology on the camera,
4824-477: Was accelerated with increased capacity and reduced cost of non-linear media like hard disk drives (HDD), optical discs and solid-state memory. Recognizing the need for faster workflow, JVC, Sony and other manufacturers offer on-camera recording units, which convert an HDV camcorder into a hybrid system capable of recording both onto tape and onto file-based media. These recorders connect to a camcorder via FireWire and do not recompress HDV video, offering exactly
4896-1057: Was available from a Canon Authorised Service Centre to make a single unit capable of both sets of systems, allowing users to switch "personality" through an on-screen menu selection. Owners of the PAL / 1080i50 version will probably require this modification, as it is a pre-requisite to obtaining 24f operation. At present, the XL H1 24f and 30f HDV is supported by major non-linear editing systems such as Canopus/Grass Valley Edius 5.0 , Sony Vegas , Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 , Apple Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 and Avid Xpress Pro . As of January 29, 2007, Final Cut Pro does not support standard definition 24f or 30f. 1080i60 and 1080i50 are cross-compatible with Sony's implementation of HDV; Canon 1080i50 and 1080i60 can play on Sony HDV cameras and decks. Canon's 24f, 25f, and 30f are not cross-compatible with Sony's implementation of HDV. No 1080 HDV footage will play on JVC HDV cameras or decks. In 2008, Canon updated their XL line with
4968-405: Was entirely in the overscan area of broadcast television, the improvement is visible in conversions to film and in video distributed on the web. Slower shutter speeds were introduced, all the way down to 1/8 of a second in video mode. The GL2 also introduced features for digital effects and colour bars in-camera, as well as 1.7 Megapixel still camera features for use with an SD Card . Canon DV 012
5040-577: Was shot with the Sony EX1 XDCAM EX camera paired with the Sony HVR-A1U HDV camcorder. Current TV used Sony HDV camcorders to shoot episodes for Vanguard TV series. Guiding Light , the longest-running soap opera in production in television and radio history, broke away from traditional three-sided sets and pedestal-style cameras in 2008, choosing the handheld Canon XH-G1 in standard definition mode for shooting on practical locations until
5112-703: Was the first camcorder in the world with interchangeable lenses , it uses the Canon VL Lens System . The Canon L2 , LX-1T (in Japan ), or EX2Hi (in Europe ), is the successor to the L1, but is nearly identical in all but a few features such as the addition of time codes and shuttle-ring-equipped remote control. The Canon HV10 is a consumer high definition video (HDV) camcorder released in September 2006. The HV10 features both HDV and DV recording. DV can be recorded in both 4:3 and 16:9 formats . In Europe,
5184-408: Was the only manufacturer of HDV 720p camcorders. JVC was the first to release an HDV camcorder, the handheld GR-HD1. Later JVC shifted its HDV development to shoulder-mounted cameras. A common misconception is that JVC developed a proprietary extension to HDV called ProHD , featuring film-like 24-frame/s progressive recording mode and LPCM audio, for professional use. JVC has clarified that ProHD
