The 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor system and EIP create true 1080p images, which can then be recorded as progressive signals by the HVR-Z5P in HDV format. The progressive HDV stream can be output from an i.LINK connector and used for progressive editing with compatible NLE software.
HVR-Z5P Features Operational Versatility: ✜ Two Accessory Shoe Connectors The HVR-Z5P features two accessory shoe connectors.
