Government

HD Fulfilled at the Sony Booth - GV Expo '06

Sony's technology display at Government Video Expo (Booth #701), December 6-7, 2006 at the Washington D.C. Convention Center, is the most convenient way for government users to gain hands-on experience and professional-demonstrations of the latest video production, display and workflow solution products. It is a single-stop overview of the many ways your operation can make its own HD transition. Sony's booth is set front and center at the show and remains the prime attraction for most of the event's attendees.

In fact, Sony's annual government technology demonstrations in our nation's capital actually pre-date this industry gathering. Sony has long been committed to serving the information needs of government video users and, what began as a hotel-based, annual Sony conference, has since evolved into a tradeshow that features well over 300 other technology providers.

For many government users, GV Expo 2006 will be their first chance to gain first-hand experience with Sony's acclaimed XDCAM® HD product line. This affordable system eases the
SD-to-HD transition, enabling users to capture in DVCAM® standard definition, then flip a switch to go HD whenever they're ready. Instead of tape, the XDCAM HD system records onto Professional Disc™ media and instead of conventional clips, the system captures your content as IT-friendly data files. This enables such workflow innovations as editing right in the camcorder and faster-than-real-time file transfers. The system's introduction at last spring's NAB show in Las Vegas led to record crowds at the Sony booth and it is expected to be the "hit of the show" at GV Expo as well.

While visiting the Sony booth at GV Expo also make sure to learn more about Sony's newest HDV™ camcorder, the HVR-V1U, which provides true 1080/24p scanning in addition to 1080/60i, as well as Sony's HDXchange™ shared storage, which supports workgroup editing, and the ultra-compact Anycast Station™ system, which produces live video events in SD and now HD! Sony LUMA™ professional LCD monitors, digital signage products and the latest LCD projectors will be on-site, demonstrating their superior color reproduction, dynamic range and image detail.
