Sony HVR-M25U HDV Digital HD Recorder
With its compact, simple design and a built-in 2.7" LCD display, this recorder is well suited for desktop applications. It offers HDV 1080i, DVCAM and DV SP recording and playback for easy migration from standard to high definition production, as well as playback of HDV 720p pre-recorded tapes (analog output only).
It is compatible with mini-size DV cassettes as well as standard-size cassettes that allow up to 276 minutes of HDV recording with compatible tapes. Additionally, it down-converts from HD to SD and is switchable between 60 and 50 Hz (NTSC/PAL) to provide full flexibility depending on production needs.
