The 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*1type, 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.

HDV 1080i Specification
The HDV 1080i specification*2of the HDV format features
1,080 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.
The HDV 1080i specification provides high picture quality
that can be used for HDTV program production.
In HDV format, the progressive recording format is also
defined as an option for HDV 1080i specification.With this
format, called HDV native progressive format, 1080p images
at 24, 25 or 30 frames per second can be recorded.
The HVR-M35U /M25AU/M15AU enables users to play back
1080p images recorded with camcorders featuring this
format and to record with i.LINK®input.

FEATURES OF HVR-M35U, HVR-M25AU AND HVR-M15AU
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, the DigitalMasterTM
high-grade cassette tape has been developed. This tape is
compatible with the HDV, DVCAM, and DV formats.
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 276 minutes when recording on a
DigitalMaster standard cassette tape and a maximum of
63 minutes when recording on a DigitalMaster mini
cassette tape.
Switchable Recording and Playback
– HDV 1080i/DVCAM/DV SP and 60i/50i
The HVR-M35U/M25AU/M15AU can switch between HDV
1080i, DVCAM, and DV*3recording, providing full flexibility to
record in either standard definition or high definition
depending on your production needs. In addition, it can be
switched between 60i and 50i modes (NTSC and PAL), which
allows for flexible production operations, without the need
for two separate VTRs of each standard. These models also
supports HDV native progressive recording format, so they
can playback/record;
•HDV1080i: 60i/50i/24p/30p/25p
•DVCAM/DV:60i/50i
Dual-size Cassette Mechanism
The HVR-M35U/M25AU/M15AU has a dual-size cassette
mechanism that accepts both mini- and standard-sized
DigitalMaster, DVCAM, and DV cassette tapes – without using
any special adaptor. This feature allows the six different
types of cassette tape to be used without the cumbersome
process associated with additional mechanical hardware.
*2 The HDV format also defines the HDV 720P specification, which features 720 effective scanning lines (progressive scanning system) and 1,280 horizontal pixels. *3 The HVR-M35U/M25AU/M15AU
supports DV SP mode only; no support for DV LP mode.

FEATURES
HDV Four Channel Audio Playback
The HVR-M35U can play back four-channel audio recorded
with the HVR-S270U shoulder-mount camcorder. The audio
data is output via an AES/EBU output terminal. Also the audio
data is embedded in the i.LINK or the HD/SD-SDI output signal.
Edge Crop Adjust
When down-converting signals in the Edge Crop mode,
the HVR-M35U/M25AU’s Edge Crop Adjust function is
provided to adjust the edge crop position. By displaying
the edge crop marker on the LCD monitor, operators can
conveniently check the edge crop position before
outputting down-converted signals.
i.LINK
*

Interface
The HVR-M35U/M25AU/M15AU is equipped with a 6-pin*
6
i.LINK
interface. This allows for one cable digital transfer*
7
of video,
audio, and command signals to a compatible connected VTR
or nonlinear editing system in HDV, DVCAM, or DV format.
Time Code Copy from External Devices
When the HVR-M35U/M25AU/M15AU records signals from
the i.LINK port, the time code that was recorded on the
original tape can be copied onto other tapes, along with
the video and audio signals. This is effective when
downloading edited material from nonlinear editors or
creating dubs from other VTRs.
Auto Repeat and Custom Repeat
The HVR-M35U/M25AU/M15AU has a convenient auto
repeat function. This enables the VTR to automatically
rewind the tape to either the beginning of the tape, the first
complete blank portion, or an index point on the tape, and
start playback again from there*8. In addition, the HVR-
M35U/M25AU has a Custom Repeat function that allows
operators to set the number of repeat playbacks, the
interval between each playback, and the hour at which the
playback should begin.
Down-conversion Playback Capabilities
The HVR-M35U/M25AU/M15AU 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 be output via
the other connectors. This allows users to edit recorded
material with a compatible nonlinear editing system using
current DV editing software, as well as record SD signals to an
external VTR. Video material can also be down-converted to
480P and 576P (as well as 720P on the HVR-M35U/HVR-M25AU),
and output via the VTR’s SDI (on the HVR-M35U), HDMI (on the
HVR-M25AU) or analog component video connector. 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

Clear Photo LCD PlusTM Monitor
The HVR-M35U/M25AU is equipped with a 2.7-inch*2type
widescreen color LCD monitor with a high resolution of
211,200 dots. It adopts a newly developed Clear Photo LCD
Plus panel, which provides enhanced brightness and a
higher level of color reproduction than that used in the
DSR-25. This LCD monitor allows operators to view the input
source during recording, and check the playback picture in
a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. Setup menus,VTR/audio
settings, and audio level meters can also be displayed.
Non-compressed Digital HD Output
The HD/SD-SDI output of HVR-M35U allows straight
duplication to a deck with HD/SD-SDI input such as HDCAM
and XDCAM HD. The HVR-M25AU comes equipped with a
HDMI interface. This interface allows the HVR-M25AU to
transfer non-compressed, high-definition digital video and
audio to other HDMI-equipped devices via a single cable.
DUPLICATE PLUS
The DUPLICATE PLUS function makes it easy to copy video
and audio from a VTR or camcorder onto the HVR-
M35U/M25AU – along with the original time code. Operators
simply connect the two i.LINK devices together via their
i.LINK interfaces and press the DUPLICATE PLUS and Play
buttons on the front panel of the
HVR-M35U/M25AU. The
copying will then begin. This function can also
be used for
copying the content of multiple tapes onto a single tape,
which is convenient when there is a need to compile
multiple mini cassette tapes onto a single standard cassette
tape. Another unique feature of DUPLICATE PLUS is the
ability to selectively copy portions of material recorded in a
designated format from a tape that contains mixed-format
recordings. For example, you can choose to copy only HDV
format recordings from a tape that includes DVCAM and DV
video as well. This DUPLICATE PLUS function is available for
any recordable formats (HDV/DVCAM/DV SP).
Playback Zoom
Using the playback zoom function of the HVR-M35U, a
selected area of the recorded HD images can be enlarged
and output in SD format via the i.LINK and analog
connectors.This function allows operators to cut out parts of
the HD image and use them as SD material.

The All Scan Mode of the HVR-M35U/M25AU is similar to the
Under Scan Mode of ordinary monitors, in that it displays all
effective scanning lines in the LCD monitor when the 1080i
mode is selected. This is useful if you want to check pictures
for web applications, for example. The All Scan Mode can
be easily recalled at the touch of a button if you pre-assign
it to one of the three “Assign Buttons”.
