Sony HVR-M35E User Manual

The HVR-M35E is the flagship of our compact HDV

VTR range with unrivalled production flexibility due to

its support for a huge range of HDV/DVCAM/DV

formats - making it ideal for inclusion in any workflow

based on these formats. Whatever your requirements

today or tomorrow, the HVR-M35E is designed to be

your perfect partner.

A key feature of the HVR-M35E is its compatibility

with HDV native progressive recording on the new

HVR-Z7E and HVR-S270E camcorders. It also sup-

ports playback of 720P HDV material and provides an

HD/SD-SDI output with embedded audio and TC data.

A high resolution LCD screen in the front panel

provides for easy monitoring whatever your

production set-up.

The HVR-M35E is the ultimate in workflow flexibility

for both HDV and DVCAM users.

As with all HDV products, the HVR-M35E has the ad-

ded benefit of 2 year Silver Support warranty -

providing additional piece of mind.

This product comes with the full PrimeSupport pack-

age. That’s fast, hassle-free repairs, a helpline offer-

ing expert technical advice, and a free loan unit while

yours is repaired. Plus the peace of mind that Sony is

looking after your equipment – and your business.

HD/SD-SDI output allows duplication to a deck with

HD/SD-SDI input, for example an XDCAM or HDCAM

deck.

The HVR-M35E supports HDV native progressive re-

cording modes and has a 60i/50i switchable function,

so it can playback/record:

HDV1080i:

60i/50i/24p/30p/25p

DVCAM/DV:

60i/50i

The HDV720p(24/25/30p) tape playback is available

for a simple viewing.

* No i.LINK output for HDV720p

The HVR-M35E accepts both standard and mini size

HDV, DVCAM, and DV cassettes without using any

special adaptor. Standard size cassettes allow record-

ing times of up 276 minutes and can also used by

most DVCAM/HDV shoulder-mount camcorders includ-

ing the new HVR-S270E. Sony DigitalMaster™ is the

highest specification and most reliable tape for HDV,

DVCAM and DV usage.

The HVR-M35E can play back the four-channel audio

data in HDV1080i format recorded by the HVR-S270E.

It can also play back the four-channel audio data in

DVCAM format. The four-channel audio data is em-

bedded in the i.LINK and HD/SD-SDI output, or is

output through the AES/EBU audio connectors.

The HVR-M35E can convert material from HD down to

SD, and output the SD video signal through its i.LINK,

SD-SDI, analogue component, S-video, and compos-

ite connectors. This allows users to edit recorded ma-

terial with a compatible nonlinear editing system us-

ing current DV editing software, as well as record SD

signals to an external VTR.When down-converting

these signals, the aspect ratio displayed can be con-

verted from 16:9 to 4:3. Display modes can be selec-

ted from Squeeze, Letterbox, and Edge Crop. Letter-

box output is not available from the i.LINK connector.

For HDV recording with four channels audio data, the

audio data in the down-converted DV signal is select-

able from either 1/2ch or 3/4ch.

The HVR-M5E is compatible with both 50 and 60 Hz

use - providing greater user flexibility to make and

edit productions on a worldwide basis.
