Incorporating a compact and simple design, as well
as a built-in 2.7" LCD display, the HVR-M25U is well suited for
desktop applications. The HVR-M25U offers HDV 1080i, DVCAM and DV SP
recording and playback capability for easy migration from standard
to high definition production, as well as playback of HDV 720p
pre-recorded tapes (analog output only). Compatible with mini-size
DV cassettes, it is also compatible with standard-size cassettes
that allow up to 276 minutes of HDV recording with compatible tapes.
Additionally, the HVR-M25U also has a down-conversion function from
HD to SD and is switchable between 60 and 50 Hz (NTSC/PAL) to
provide full flexibility depending on production needs
| Feature |
Benefit |
|
|
The HVR-M15U can switch between HDV 1080i, DVCAM and
DV recording and play back, providing full flexibility to
record and play back either Standard or High Definition
depending on production needs.
|
Dual-size Cassette Mechanism
|
This innovative feature allows six different types of
cassette tapes to be used without the cumbersome process
associated with additional mechanical hardware. It allows
for HDV long-time recording for up to 276 minutes with a
PHDV-276DM, Digital Master Tape.
|
Down-conversion Capabilities
|
Allows for the easy migration to HD, and the backward
compatibility to SD. |
|
|
Useful when dubbing tapes or recording to tapes with
material edited by nonlinear editing systems.
|
Color Bar/1KHz Audio Tone
|
The HVR-M15 is equipped with a signal generator for
three types of color bars that is activated from the
set-up menu. In addition, the recorder is also equipped
with an audio signal generator of 1 kHz (60i: full bit -20
dB, 50i: full bit -18 dB). These are useful when checking
system conditions.
|
60/50Hz (NTSC/PAL) Switchable
|
Worldwide compatibility. |
- 2.7" type 16:9 ”Clear Photo LCD plus”
|
Wide LCD panel enables operators to check 16:9 aspect
picture images, audio levels and set-up menu.
|
|
|
HD video, audio and control signals can be transferred
in a single cable, simplifying cable hookups: Five video
cables and eight audio cables can be packed in just one
cable. |
|
|
By using the Duplicate Plus button a work tape
containing the exact timecode that the original source
tape contains can be dubbed. The Duplication Plus function
is applicable with HDV1080i, DVCAM, and DV formats.
|
|
|
The HVR-M25 is able to adjust the edge crop position
when down converting from HD (16:9 aspect ratio) to SD
(4:3 aspect ratio). By displaying the edge crop marker on
the monitor, you can check the crop position on the LCD
monitor before down converting. Edge cropped pictures can
be output from both i.LINK and each analog video jacks.
|
|
|
Operator can edit pictures for the current
simultaneous broadcasting (both 16:9 and 4:3 available).
|
|
|
The Auto Repeat function enables it to repeatedly play
back a program. Just after the HVR-M25 reaches the end of
the tape, the first complete blank portion, or the first
index point, it automatically rewinds the tape and repeats
the playback of the segment. In addition, the HVR-M25 has
a Custom Repeat function that allows operators to set a
repeat number of times, a repeat interval, and a start
time of repeat.
|
|
|
The time-code mode can be selected between “REC RUN”
and “FREE RUN”. The frame mode can also be selected
between “DF” (drop frame), “NDF” (non-drop frame) and
“AUTO. In addition to the time code, user bits can also be
set.
|
|
|
Audio level meter, video out, i.LINK set, assign
buttons and custom repeat setting can be displayed by
pushing the status check buttons.
|
|
|
Other than the default functions, frequently used
functions can be assigned to the ASSIGN buttons (INDEX
(A1) button, RESET (A2) button, AUDIO (A3) button). |
