Frank Björnsen, General Manager Sales at 16x9 Europe, seems very proud: „HDV cams are small and and attract widespread interest, sparking a trend of affordable HD production. HDV was designed to offer existing video production environments a cost-conscious upgrade path from standard-definition (SD) to high-definition (HD) video. HDV addresses individuals and organizations specifically interested in video production, and are generally sold to amateur videographers, local production and marketing agencies. HD video can be edited on a modern PC, and burned and distributed on home-video DVDs. A trend can be seen whereby HDV cams are used for live coverages in the news. 16x9 Europe has a substantial product portfolio offering HD Cams, converters, LED lights, articulated arms and indestructable outdoor cases. We are convinced, that our product range and the short delivery times will even meet the highest demands of the production professionals. “
