FEATURES Color Bar and 1-kHz Audio Tone Signal Output M35 M25A M15A The HVR-M35U/M25AU/M15AU can output several types of color bar, as well as an audio tone signal of 1 kHz. These are useful when checking the system conditions. External Control M35 M25A M15A The HVR-M35U/M25AU/M15AU comes equipped with a Remote Commander® unit, which enables users to control the recorder's functions wirelessly. In addition, the HVR-M35U/M25AU/M15AU is equipped with a LANC terminal, as well as a Control S terminal to connect with the optional DSRM-10 Remote Control Unit. Built-in, 2.7-inch Type, Clear Photo LCD PlusTM Monitor M35 M25A The HVR-M35U/M25AU is equipped with a 2.7-inch*2 type 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 M35 M25A 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 M35 M25A The DUPLICATE PLUS function makes it easy to copy video and audio from a VTR or camcorder onto the HVRM35U/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 M35 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. Buit-in Monaural Speaker M35 M25A The built-in monaural speaker of the HVR-M35U/M25AU allows quick and convenient checking of audio. Time Code Preset M35 M25A The time code of the HVR-M35U/M25AU 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. Status Check M35 M25A At the touch of the STATUS CHECK button of the HVRM35U/M25AU, operators can display the menu settings for Audio Level Meter, Output Signal, Assign Button, and Custom Repeat on the LCD monitor - allowing for easy status or setting checks during recording, playback, and source feeding. It is also possible to display the status of the connected HVR-DR60 hard disk recording unit or the HVR-MRC1 memory recording unit. Assign Buttons M35 M25A The buttons for INDEX, COUNTER RESET, and AUDIO DUB on the front panel of the HVR-M35U/M25AU can be used as "Assign Buttons", to which operators can assign another frequently used function. All Scan Mode M35 M25A 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". Compact, Unique Design M15A The HVR-M15AU is compact, with a small footprint that enables it to be deployed in existing work environments without disruption. It is also unique in that it can be placed either horizontally or vertically. 5
