This unique camera offers a High Definition migration platform by supporting multi-HD formats allowing the user to select desired video output from VGA, 720p through to Full HD. The video conference market, broadcast and other A/V markets are continuing to embrace High Definition and the Sony EVI-HD7V supports this transition and moves the benchmark yet again with outstanding picture quality in Full HD.

The EVI-HD7V Full HD colour video camera sets a new benchmark in high definition picture quality. It is designed to be used in combination with a variety of video conferencing codecs and other broadcasting/AV systems to produce exceptional HD images. The multiple video output format support provides a wealth of options to match existing HD infrastructure in situ, whilst adding a future-proofing element to enable 1080/60p Full HD when ready, so even if wider systems do not support Full HD today, the EVI-HD7V provides the migration support needed for the future.

With its wide-angle field of view, built in 10x optical zoom lens, 16:9 aspect ratio, high speed & quiet PTZ operation, the EVI-HD7V can cover subjects across wide areas in a fast and discrete way, minimising disturbance.

Combining convenient features such as auto focus / auto exposure, 6 presets and external / remote control, the EVI-HD7V is ideal for applications such as videoconferencing, distance learning, houses of worship, and corporate training.

Superb Picture Quality

The EVI-HD7V employs a 1/3-type HD CMOS delivering intricately detailed and vivid images, transforming the video experience.

Multi-Format Video Outputs including Full HD

The EVI-HD7V provides full High Definition at up to 1080/60p, the first in the Sony EVI range to support this format. Depending on your application and infrastructure possibilities the EVI-HD7V has the flexibility, providing 10 selectable HD video output options including both interlaced and progressive scan output in 1080 mode. The EVI-HD7V can also support VGA mode for added migration support.

High Quality Image Transmission

The EVI-HD7V is equipped with a DVI-D interface that is designed to maximise the high video quality of today’s digital displays. This digital interface is capable of displaying both digital and analogue signals in Y/Pb/Pr and RGB formats.

Wide-range, Quiet and Quick Pan/Tilt Mechanism

The EVI-HD7V adopts the world-renowned direct drive motor mechanism previously seen in the EVI-HD1. As a result the camera is extremely quiet and moves smoothly and very quickly to desired positions, covering a wide shooting range.

Maximum pan speed = 300 degrees per second (range +/- 100 degrees)

Maximum tilt speed = 125 degrees per second (range +/- 125 degrees)

10x Optical (40x with Digital Zoom)

The EVI-HD7V has a maximum zoom ratio of 40x. The high performance lens supports a fast and stable autofocus capability enabling sharp and intricately featured objects to be captured quickly and clearly.

Wide Angle of View (70 degrees)

The EVI-HD7V incorporates a wide-angle lens for wide field of view image capture, an advantage for small to medium conference rooms.

RS-232C Remote control (VISCA protocol)

All Camera settings and pan/tilt/zoom control functions can be performed remotely at high communication speeds via the RS-232C interface VISCA protocol.

Six-Position Presets

Up to 6 preset values for pan/tilt/zoom, focus position, exposure mode and white balance mode can be stored in the camera. The camera can retain these presets even when switched off.
