The High-Definition, All-in-One, Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) EVI-HD1 Color Video Camera Brings Scenes to Life

Sony, a leader in the robotic camera industry and a long standing leader in HD technology, is combining its strengths with the introduction of its first high-definition PTZ camera. Joining the popular EVI family, this unique camera allows you to take your first step towards HD migration with the flexibility to output analog or digital video signals – from standard definition (SD) to full high definition (HD). Conference rooms everywhere are making the transition to HD, and the Sony EVI-HD1 makes the transition easy with the flip of a switch – literally.

The EVI-HD1 HD Color Video Camera employs a 1/3-type HD CMOS image sensor boasting two million effective pixels and can be used in combination with any number of codecs and other systems to produce high-quality, high-resolution images. The EVI-HD1 inherits many outstanding features from the popular EVI-D100 PTZ camera and couples these with superb HD picture quality.

With its wide field of view, built-in 10x optical zoom lens, 16:9 aspect ratio image and high-speed, quiet pan/tilt operation, the EVI-HD1 can cover subjects across wide areas, with minimal disturbance.

Combining convenient features such as auto focus/auto exposure, 6-position presets, and external/remote control, the EVI-HD1 camera is ideal for applications such as videoconferencing, distance learning, and corporate training.
