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.

drive motor mechanism, the EVI-HD1
camera is extremely quiet, moves smoothly
and quickly to designated positions and
can cover a wide shooting range.
