HVR-Z5U Features
Innovative Technologies:
Cutting-edge Imaging System for New Camcorder
1. 1/3 Inch-type 3 ClearVid CMOS
Sensor System
2. Enhanced Functionality with the
Technology of Exmor
The 1/3 inch-type 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor system
has 45-degree rotated pixels on each chip in order
to increase the signal density, while each pixel
maintains sufficient surface area. In combination
with the Enhanced Imaging Processor™ (EIP), the
3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor system achieves high
resolution, high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, and
excellent color reproduction.
The pixel shift interpolation technique has been
traditionally used in small 3CCD camcorders,
however, this normally requires the combination of
all three color element (RGB) signals to maximize
resolution. If an object lacks one or more color
elements, the resolution of the object may be
degraded. The 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor system is
different because it can always produce maximum
resolution, regardless of the balance between color
elements, thanks to its unique and sophisticated
interpolation technology.
The new HVR-Z5U boasts cutting-edge features
such as the technology of Exmor, which utilizes the
full potential of the 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor
system. Exmor features the column-parallel A/D
conversion technique and the dual noise-
cancelling method also used in Sony’s top-of-the-
line models. Multiple A/D (analog to digital)
converters on each pixel row convert analog
signals to digital as soon as they are generated,
unlike traditional technology that only has one A/D
converter on each chip. The technology of Exmor
can eliminate the influence of external noise that
enters the signal chain during transfer to the A/D
converter, resulting in high-quality digital signals
with extremely low noise. This significantly
enhances shooting in low-light environments. By
adopting this groundbreaking technology, the new
1/3 inch-type 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor system
enables the HVR-Z5U to achieve a low light
sensitivity of just 1.5 lux*2.

HVR-Z5U Features
Expanding the HDV Format
as a Global Standard
Switchable Recording and
Playback – HDV1080i/DVCAMTM/DV
The HDV 1080i specification uses one of the
“MPEG2 Long GOP” compression profiles. This
highly efficient and robust "MPEG2 Long GOP"
codec – which is also used in Sony’s XDCAM HD
and XDCAM EX series – enables users to record
stunning-quality HD video. The HVR-Z5U provides
over 60 minutes*3 of recording time using the wide-
ly available mini-DV videotape.
The HVR-Z5U can switch between HDV 1080i,
DVCAM, and standard DV recording, providing the
ultimate flexibility to suit your production needs.
Native editing in the HDV format is now supported
by most popular NLE (nonlinear editing) software.
Additionally, HDV can be recorded as a memory
file on inexpensive computer media.
The optional HVR-MRC1K Memory Recording Unit
records to standard CompactFlash® (CF) cards
that can be quickly and easily exchanged for
nonlinear editing. The optional HVR-DR60 Hard Disk
Recording Unit’s large-capacity 60GB hard drive
provides 4.5 hours of recording time.
*3 When using Sony's recommended Professional HDV tape
DigitalMaster™ model PHDVM-63DM, an approximate record-
ing time of 63 minutes is possible.
Built-in Down-converter for
SD Production
PHDVM-63DM
PHDV-276DM
The HVR-Z5U can convert material from 1080i down
to 480i and output the video signals through its i.LINK
interface and other SD output connectors. This
allows users to edit recorded material with a
compatible nonlinear editing system using current
DV editing software, as well as record SD signals to
an external VTR.

HVR-Z5U Features
Ready for HYBRID Solution with
HVR-MRC1K (Option)
Selectable Progressive Modes
The HVR-Z5U has two types of progressive
shooting modes:
The HVR-Z5U is
ready for HDV/DV
HYBRID operation
1. 24p/30p HDV Native Progressive
Recording Mode
with the optional
HVR-MRC1K Memory Recording Unit. In HYBRID
operation, you can simultaneously record video
footage to tape and to a standard CompactFlash
(CF) card. The HVR-Z5U has a special shoe
connector*6 for direct attachment of the
HVR-MRC1K without the use of a cable. This smart
combination never interferes with shooting
operations. The ergonomically integrated design
provides easier handling in any shooting situation.
The HVR-MRC1K automatically synchronizes with
the recording commands of the HVR-Z5U. Various
recording options are available when using the
HVR-MRC1K in HYBRID operation. These include
Synchronous recording, Relay recording, or
HVR-MRC1K-only recording. Furthermore, the
HVR-Z5U can display HVR-MRC1K status information
on its LCD for convenient reference. The display
data includes Connection status, REC status, and
the remaining CF recording time. It is very
convenient to be able to monitor the operation of
HVR-MRC1K without having to check the rear
display panel.
The HVR-Z5U features 24p/30p
native progressive recording
mode. The 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor system and
EIP create true 1080p images, which can then be
recorded as progressive signals by the HVR-Z5U in
HDV format.
The progressive HDV stream can be output from an
i.LINK connector and used for progressive editing
with compatible NLE software. Native progressive
recording modes are suitable for output to film, CG
composition, viewing on a progressive monitor, or
as an Internet movie.
Note: interlaced video is output from connectors other than
i.LINK.
2. 24p/30p Progressive Scan Mode
In these modes, the 1080p image captured by the
3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor system is also recorded
as an interlaced signal by dividing each frame
into two fields. This enables compatibility with
current editing and monitoring equipment that
only accept interlaced signals, while maintaining
the quality of the 1080p image. When using the
“24p scan” setting, captured images are recorded
as 60i through means of 2-3 pull-down conversion.
Progressive scan modes are suitable for feature
films, documentaries, and music videos, which have
to be recorded as interlaced video for viewing on
interlaced monitors, but want to offer a “progressive
look” to their motion.
*6 The intelligent shoe connector inputs and outputs an HDV/
DV stream and supplies power to the HVR-MRC1K Memory
Recording Unit. The i.LINK connector is not available when the
unit is attached to the camcorder.
The recording time on a 16-GB CF card*7 in HDV,
DVCAM and DV format*8 is approximately 72

NLE software that is compatible with the “24p scan”
mode can remove the 2-3 pull-down, then edit the
footage as 24p material*5. For 30p, most NLE
software can output the edited timeline in
progressive format by merging odd and even fields.
Furthermore, the “24p scan” mode is available in
not only HDV recording but also DVCAM/DV
recording. It means the HVR-Z5U provides

SD-quality 24p footage as well.
*5 When 24p editing is needed with the “24p scan” mode, be
sure to select the “24A” setting in the “Scan Type” menu instead
of the “24” setting. This setting records the 2-3 pull-down
identification data in the HDV stream, so that compatible NLE
software knows when to remove the 2-3 pull-down cadences.
In the 24A setting, interruptions in time code and video may
appear between recordings when viewed on an HDV device.
There is no “24A” setting in DVCAM and standard DV modes.

rear side shoe can be changed to a cold shoe
using supplied parts.
✜ XtraFine™ LCD Panel
A 3.2 inch-type XtraFine LCD is located on the
HVR-Z5U in the same position as on the HVR-Z1U. It
has approximately 921,000 pixels (1920x480), which
is 4x greater than the LCD of the HVR-Z1U, and this
higher resolution allows for easier focus adjustment.
The XtraFine LCD displays virtually 100% of the
recorded picture area at a color temperature of
6500K approximately.
✜ Versatile Audio Input Selection

HVR-Z5U Features
Creative Versatility:
✜ Smooth WB (White Balance)
✜ Picture Profile™
The Smooth WB feature is a smooth transition white
balance system that avoids unnaturally sudden
color temperature changes between preset white
balance settings. This function is useful when you
move from an artificial, low-light environment inside
a building, to bright natural sunlight outside.
Up to six different picture-quality settings, including
gamma and color settings, can be registered in
the memory as Picture Profile. This labor-saving
function allows operators to easily recall
customized picture-quality settings for various
shooting conditions. It is also useful for matching
footage shot at different times or for multi-camera
setups. The Picture Profile functions of the HVR-Z5U
are the same as those of the high-end HVR-Z7U
model, which include enhanced versions of the
HVR-Z1U and HVR-V1U functions, plus a selection of
new ones.
✜ Smooth Gain
✜ Color Depth
The Smooth Gain function is a smooth transition
gain system that avoids sudden brightness changes
caused by manual gain-level adjustment. With this
function, the brightness changes gradually when
the gain-level position is switched and avoids any
sudden, unwanted iris adjustment.
Generally, the brightness of a video image
increases as the color level becomes more vivid. In
the HVR-Z5U, the brightness and color level are
processed independently so that more flexible
tone – for instance, a dark image with vivid
color – is realized by 3D-LUT*11 color processing.
*11 3D-LUT = three-dimensional look-up table.
✜ Minus Gain
Minus gain settings of -6 and -3dB have also been
added to help reduce sensitivity under bright
lighting conditions. When the iris needs to be
opened to create a short depth of field, a suitable
brightness level can be achieved with this function.
✜ AGC Range Configuration
The range of the AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
function can be set by assigning its upper and
lower limits. The use of minus gain can be
achieved by setting the lower limit of the AGC.
Once minus AGC is set to ON, the minimum AGC
parameter is set to approximately -3dB. If you set it
to OFF, the minimum AGC parameter is set to 0dB.
✜ Color Correction
The Color Correction function of the HVR-Z1U has
been improved in the HVR-Z5U. Color Correction
provides two functions for creative shooting. The
Color Extraction function can retain up to two
desired colors of monitored pictures on the screen,
while making all other colors black and white. The
advanced function allows users to select the color
simply by pressing a button to memorize the center
color of the captured image.
The Color Revision function can change the hue
of the color specifically designated by the Color
Extraction function. This function is good not only
for creating impressive images, but also for blue
or green screen shooting in order to normalize
uneven color. The color data is stored in each
Picture Profile so that users can select the most
suitable color setting for each shooting situation.
✜ Advanced Histogram
The Histogram Indicator for brightness can be
displayed on the LCD monitor and viewfinder,
allowing operators to easily evaluate the brightness
of captured images. A target window appears in
the center of the screen and the brightness level
is indicated by a vertical red line in the histogram.
The zebra indicator level appears as a yellow
vertical line in the histogram as a reference for
proper exposure.

HVR-Z5U Features
✜ WB (White Balance) Shift
✜ Shot Transition™ Function
The WB Shift function allows users to create a
custom color or to adjust the color temperature of
the camcorder. There are two WB Shift options to
choose from:
•LB-CC type: adjusting the LB axis (color
temperature) and CC filter effect.
The Shot Transition function allows for smooth
automatic scene transitions. After you have
programmed a shot’s START and END point settings
(e.g., for zoom, focus, iris, gain, shutter speed, and
white balance) and pressed the start button, a
smooth picture transition takes place over the
duration of the shot by automatically calculating
intermediate setting values. This is very useful when
complex camera settings are required during the
scene transition – for example, when panning the
camcorder from a distant object to a close object.
Transition types can be selected from a choice of
“LINEAR”,“SOFT STOP”, and “SOFT TRANS”, transition
time can be set from 2 to 90 seconds, and start
delay time can be selected from 5, 10, and 20
seconds.
•R-B level type: adjusting the red and blue levels
✜ Skintone Detail
This function allows users to change the sharpness
of an object with a specific color, and is particularly
good for making skin tones look more natural.
The target color can be specified by controlling
the Phase/Range/Saturation/Y Level/Y Range
parameters or by pressing a button to specify
the color of an object with a color picker. If the
sharpness of the background object is decreased,
the blur looks more natural.

✜ Smooth Slow Rec
Shot A
The Smooth Slow Rec function of the HVR-Z5U
enables smooth slow-motion playback by
capturing images 4x faster than normal (240 fields/
s). In this mode, for example, quad-speed images
are captured for three seconds, stored in the
built-in buffer memory, and then recorded to tape
