Compact, Unique Design
The HVR-M10U is compact,
with a small footprint that
enables it to be unobtrusively
added to existing work
environments. The HVR-M10U
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.

Built-in, 16:9 Widescreen LCD Monitor
The HVR-M10U 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.
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.
2-channel Independent Audio RecordLevel 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 code6can 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.
External Control
The HVR-M10U comes equipped with
the wireless Remote CommanderTM,
which provides control of basic
functions. In addition, the
HVR-M10U is equipped with
a LANC terminal.
Battery Operation
With the optional NP-F970 InfoLITHIUMTM Rechargeable
Battery Pack attached, the HVR-M10U 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.
Noiseless Design, with No Cooling Fan
The HVR-M10U requires no cooling fan, providing quiet
program-production environments.
