• 50/60Hz (PAL/NTSC) switchable recording and playback
• 2-channel balanced audio XLR inputs, with independent adjustment of input levels for each audio channel

Short Review:
The HVR-Z1E Camcorder is aimed at professional videographers, documentary makers and feature film makers working to tight budgets. HDV is also an attractive option for mainstream broadcasters and corporate programme makers needing to acquire HD content in restricted or hard-to-reach locations and HDV also serves as an ideal source for contributing HD content into an HDCAM production environment. The format’s quality, versatility and low operational costs also extend its appeal to educational establishments and hire companies.
