Sony HVR-M10N Compact, Unique Design, Built-in, 169 Widescreen LCD Monitor, Status Check

Compact, Unique Design

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.

2-channel Independent Audio Record Level 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.

Built-in, 16:9 Widescreen LCD Monitor

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.

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.

Time Code Preset

The time code6 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.

External Control

The HVR-M10 comes equipped with the wireless Remote CommanderTM, which provides control of basic

functions. In addition, the HVR-M10 is equipped with a LANC terminal.

Battery Operation

With the optional NP-F970 InfoLITHIUMTM 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.

Noiseless Design, with No Cooling Fan

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