Sony adds HD view finder

The Sony (C11001) HDVF-C30WR HD viewfinder delivers new, higher levels of color accuracy and reproduction than previous models. The new viewfinder is designed for use with many of Sony’s professional HD cameras and camcorders, including the CineAlta F23 and F35 digital cinematography cameras; XDCAM HD422 optical camcorders and HDCAM camcorders; the HDC-1500/1000/1550/1400/1450 series of multiformat studio and field cameras; and the HDC-3300 Super Slow Motion camera.

The new viewfinder has a 2.7in LCD screen, a pixel resolution of 960 x 540 and a new image processor — the same processor used in Sony’s BVM-L230 LCD master monitor. A flexible mechanical design minimizes interference between the lens and the viewfinder, especially when attached to the F23 and F35 cameras.
