MEDIA THAT MAKES THE MOST OF HDV RECORDING
To realize the full potential of HDV, DVCAM and DV formats,
professionals choose Sony DigitalMaster tape.
While the HDV format can accept conventional DV tape, only DigitalMaster tape has a dual
layer of magnetic material.
The result? Higher RF output, lower noise,
95% fewer errors and 60% fewer dropouts compared to DV tape!
Exactly the performance that professionals require.

Opening New Opportunities for Cost-effective HD Productions
Developed using the HDV 1080i specification of the HDVTM format,
the HVR-M10U Digital HD Videocassette Recorder provides HDV 1080i
recording and playback capabilities for a variety of roles such as a simple
playback viewer and a feeder for nonlinear editing systems.
It enables operators to record and play back 1080i HD signals, while
maintaining the DVCAMTM/DV recording and playback capabilities provided
on current Sony DVCAM models.
What's more, the HVR-M10U also offers a down-conversion capability for
its 1080i recordings. These features enable the HVR-M10U to be active
immediately in current SD systems, while also providing a step-by-step
migration to the HD world – operators can continue to upload materials in
DVCAM or DV, and switch to HDV when the need arises, or upload in
HDV 1080i using the down-conversion capability as required.
In addition to basic VTR features inherited from the DSR-11, the HVR-M10U
also provides easy monitoring capabilities, with a built-in, 3.5-inch viewable
area, measured diagonally, LCD monitor to display important information,
such as the recorded image, audio level, and set-up menu.
The HVR-M10U provides a highly powerful, yet cost-effective tool for
nonlinear editing system today with a path to tomorrow.

MAIN FEATURES
Switchable Recording and Playback – HDV 1080i/DVCAM/DV2 and 60i/50i
The HVR-M10U can switch between HDV 1080i, DVCAM and
DV recording, providing full flexibility to record in either
standard or high definition depending on production needs.
In addition, it can be switched between 60i and 50i modes
(NTSC and PAL), allowing for flexible productions without
the need for two separate VTRs with each standard.
NOTE: The HVR-M10U supports DV SP mode only.
Down-conversion Playback Capabilities
The HVR-M10U can convert material from 1080i down to
480i and 576i, and output these video signals through its
i.LINK® interface. In addition, these signals can also be output
via either analog component, composite, or S-video connectors.
This allows editing of recorded material with a nonlinear
editing system using current DV editing software as well as
recording SD signals to an external VTR, while simultaneously
recording HDV signals with the HVR-M10U. The HVR-M10U
can also down-convert to 480p and 576p and output these
signals through its analog component video connectors.
When down-converting these signals, the aspect ratio
displayed can be converted from 16:9 to 4:3. Display modes
can be selected from Squeeze, Letterbox or Edge crop.
i.LINK IEEE 1394 Interface
The HVR-M10U is equipped with a 4-pin i.LINK IEEE 1394 interface.
This allows for on-cable digital transfer of audio, video, and
command signals to a connected VTR or nonlinear editing
system in the HDV, DVCAM and DV formats.
Compact, Unique Design
The HVR-M10U is compact, with a small footprint that
enables it to be unobtrusively added to existing work
environments. The HVR-M10U is also unique – it can be placed
either horizontally or vertically. In addition, it includes a control
panel lid and a cassette compartment lid on its front.
Built-in, 16:9 Widescreen LCD Monitor
The HVR-M10U includes a 3.5-inch (viewable area,
measured diagonally) color LCD monitor with a high
resolution of approx. 250,000 pixels, allowing operators
to view the input source during recording, or check the
playback picture, in a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9.
This large screen is also helpful when setting menus or
audio recording levels, as well as for monitoring the VTR
and audio status.
Status Check
At the touch of a button, operators can display the
menu settings, mode of operation, time code and
audio level indications superimposed over the video on
the LCD monitor, allowing for easy status or settings
checks during recording, playback and feeding.
2-channel Independent Audio Record Level Control with Audio Level Meter
Each input level for CH1 and CH2 can be independently
adjusted using two audio level controls on the control
panel and viewed with an audio level meter on the LCD
monitor. The audio level meter can be recalled quickly and
easily by a Status Check function.
Time Code Preset
The time code can be preset using any number in
H/M/S/F (hours/minutes/seconds/frames) to record desired
tape-position information. The time-code mode can be
selected between "REC RUN" and "FREE RUN".
In addition to the time code, user bits can also be set.
External Control
The HVR-M10U comes equipped with a wireless Remote Commander unit,
which provides control of basic functions. In addition, the
HVR-M10U is equipped with a LANC terminal.
Battery Operation
With the optional NP-F970 InfoLITHIUM Rechargeable
Battery Pack attached, the HVR-M10U can continuously
record in HDV mode for up to 545 minutes, or up to
630 minutes in DVCAM/DV mode with the LCD monitor
off. Battery information, such as the current charge level
and current remaining recording time, can be displayed
on the LCD monitor at the touch of a button.
Noiseless Design, with No Cooling Fan
The HVR-M10U requires no cooling fan, providing quiet
program-production environments.
Other Convenient Functions
In order to provide the flexibility required for professional recording,
the HVR-M10U offers a variety of convenient functions:
Audio Dub (DVCAM mode only)
Headphone Jack
Index Marking
Index Search
