HDV FORMAT
A New Addition to the HD Format that Broadens the Scope of HD Program Production
HDV 1080i Specification 1
The HDV 1080i specification of the HDV format features 1080 effective scanning lines (interlace scanning system) and 1,440 horizontal pixels.
It adopts the MPEG-2 compression format (MP@H-14 for video), which uses
8-bit digital component recording with a sampling rate of 4:2:0. MPEG-1
Audio Layer II is used as the audio compression format, allowing for two-channel recording with a sampling frequency of 48 kHz/16-bit.
Track Pattern of the HDV 1080i Specification
The HDV 1080i specification provides high picture quality that can be used for HDTV program production.
1 The HDV format also defines the HDV 720p specification, which features 720 effective scanning lines (progressive scanning system) and 1,280 horizontal pixels.
Compatible with Existing and New DV Videocassette Tape
As a member of the proven DV family of formats, the HDV format has, from the outset, been developed for compatibility with all grades of DV videocassette tape. This allows operators to use high-grade DV videocassette tapes for applications where high robustness is critical, or consumer-grade videocassette tapes for more economical operations. For heavy-duty applications, newly developed high-grade PHDVM-63DM Mini Cassette tape, DigitalMaster TM , which is compatible with the HDV, DVCAM and DV formats, is available.
Long Recording Time
The HDV format adopts the same track pitch and tape speed as the DV format, thus offering the same recording time – a maximum of 63 minutes on a mini videocassette such as DigitalMaster tape.

TM 4 Interface
The HVR-M10 is equipped with a 4-pin i.LINK interface.
This allows for on-cable digital transfer 5 of audio, video, and command signals to a connected VTR or nonlinear editing system in the HDV, DVCAM and DV formats.
4 i.LINK is a trademark of Sony Corporation used only to designate that a product contains an IEEE 1394 connector. Not all products with an i.LINK connector will necessarily communicate with each other.
For information on compatibility, operating conditions and proper connection, please refer to the documentation supplied with any device with an i.LINK connector. For information on devices that include an i.LINK connection, please contact your nearest Sony office.
5 Insert and assemble editing using HDV material is not recommended with the
HVR-M10. When video programs in the HDV format are transferred via the i.LINK interface and edited, transitions from cut to cut may not be smooth.

Compact, Unique Design
The HVR-M10 is compact, with a small footprint that enables it to be unobtrusively added to existing work environments. The HVR-M10 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.
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 6 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.
6 When recording video clips, which are transferred from other devices through an i.LINK interface, the time code should be preset because the time code is not copied.
Control Panel Lid Open
External Control
The HVR-M10 comes equipped with the wireless Remote Commander TM , which provides control of basic functions. In addition, the
HVR-M10 is equipped with a LANC terminal.
Cassette Compartment Lid Open
Built-in, 16:9 Widescreen LCD Monitor
The HVR-M10 includes a 3.5-inch type 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.
Battery Operation
With the optional NP-F970 InfoLITHIUM TM Rechargeable
Battery Pack attached, the HVR-M10 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.
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.
Noiseless Design, with No Cooling Fan
The HVR-M10 requires no cooling fan, providing quiet program-production environments.

HDV FORMAT
A New Addition to the HD Format that Broadens the Scope of HD Program Production
HDV 1080i Specification 1
The HDV 1080i specification of the HDV format features 1080 effective scanning lines (interlace scanning system) and 1,440 horizontal pixels.
It adopts the MPEG-2 compression format (MP@H-14 for video), which uses
8-bit digital component recording with a sampling rate of 4:2:0. MPEG-1
Audio Layer II is used as the audio compression format, allowing for two-channel recording with a sampling frequency of 48 kHz/16-bit.
Track Pattern of the HDV 1080i Specification
The HDV 1080i specification provides high picture quality that can be used for HDTV program production.
1 The HDV format also defines the HDV 720p specification, which features 720 effective scanning lines (progressive scanning system) and 1,280 horizontal pixels.
Compatible with Existing and New DV Videocassette Tape
As a member of the proven DV family of formats, the HDV format has, from the outset, been developed for compatibility with all grades of DV videocassette tape. This allows operators to use high-grade DV videocassette tapes for applications where high robustness is critical, or consumer-grade videocassette tapes for more economical operations. For heavy-duty applications, newly developed high-grade PHDVM-63DM Mini Cassette tape, DigitalMaster TM , which is compatible with the HDV, DVCAM and DV formats, is available.
Long Recording Time
The HDV format adopts the same track pitch and tape speed as the DV format, thus offering the same recording time – a maximum of 63 minutes on a mini videocassette such as DigitalMaster tape.
