he Perfect Choice for Cost-effective HD
Productions-the Sony HVR-M35U, HVR-M25AU
and HVR-M15AU HDV 1080i VTRs
Sony has introduced an affordable, yet high-performance
HD recording system incorporating the HDV™ 1080i
specification for use in its products, thereby offering
the HDV format to a wide range of professional
videographers. Since they were introduced, HDV
systems have gained rapid and wide acceptance
due to their high picture quality, outstanding
performance, and cost effectiveness.
Today, in response to the demands for greater levels of
operability, such as longer recording time and
progressive format playback/record capabilities, Sony
has introduced its latest HDV recorders – the HVR-M35U,
HVR-M25AU and HVR-M15AU.
The HVR-M35U, HVR-M25AU and HVR-M15AU enable
users to record and play back video in a choice of
formats –HDV 1080i, DVCAM™, and DV. They also
feature the HDV native progressive format capability,
which provides stunning 1080p image at 24, 25 or 30
frames per second.*
One of the most powerful features of these VTRs is their
compatibility with standard cassettes in addition to
mini cassettes, which provides extended recording
time of up to 276 minutes.
These models are optimized for use with nonlinear
editing systems thanks to their highly compact size
and ease of operation. However, the HVR-M35U and
HVR-M25AU provide additional powerful features such
as a built-in 2.7-inch*
1
type, 16:9 LCD monitor and an
HD-SDI or HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
output for more demanding production environments.
The HVR-M35U, HVR-M25AU and HVR-M15AU are highly
powerful, yet cost-effective tools for nonlinear editing
systems that will serve both today’s production needs,
as well as those of tomorrow.
