The HVR-M10 can switch between HDV 1080i, DVCAM and
DV recording, providing full flexibility to record in either
Standard or High Definition depending on production needs.
In addition, it can be switched between 60i and 50i modes
(NTSC and PAL), allowing for flexible productions without 
the need for two separate VTRs with each standard.

2 The HVR-M10 supports DV SP mode only; no support for DV LP mode.

Developed using the HDV 1080i specification of the HDV

TM

format, 

the HVR-M10 Digital HD Videocassette Recorder provides HDV 1080i
recording and playback capabilities for a variety of roles such as a simple
playback viewer and a feeder for nonlinear editing systems.
It enables operators to record and play back 1080i HD signals, while 
maintaining the DVCAM

TM

/DV recording and playback capabilities provided

on current Sony DVCAM models.  
What's more, the HVR-M10 also offers a down-conversion capability for its
1080i recordings.  These features enable the HVR-M10 to be active immedi-
ately in current SD systems, while also providing a step-by-step migration
to the HD world – operators can continue to upload materials in DVCAM or
DV, and switch to HDV when the need arises, or upload in 
HDV 1080i using the down-conversion capability as required.
In addition to basic VTR features inherited from the DSR-11, the HVR-M10
also provides easy monitoring capabilities, with a built-in, 3.5-inch type 
LCD monitor to display important information, such as the recorded image,
audio level, and set-up menu.
The HVR-M10 provides a highly powerful, yet cost-effective tool for 
nonlinear editing system today and tomorrow.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

With the optional NP-F970 InfoLITHIUM

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.

The HVR-M10 requires no cooling fan, providing quiet
program-production environments.

The HVR-M10 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 also be output via
either analog component, composite, or S-video connectors.
This allows editing of recorded material with a nonlinear 
editing system using current DV editing software

3

as well as

recording SD signals to an external VTR, while simultaneously
recording HDV signals with the HVR-M10.  The HVR-M10 can
also down-convert to 480p and 576p and output these sig-
nals through its analog component video connectors.  

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 or Edge crop.

3 When using the HVR-M10 down conversion capabilities with your current DV
editing software, please contact your nearest Sony office to confirm compatibility.

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.
