Sony HVR-M25AP Professional HDV Recorder

General Description

The HVR-M35, HVR-M25AP and HVR-M15AP enable users to record and play back video in a choice of formats –HDV 1080i, DVCAM™, and DV. They also feature the HDV native progressive format capability, which provides stunning 1080p image at 24, 25 or 30 frames per second.* One of the most powerful features of these VTRs is their compatibility with standard cassettes in addition to mini cassettes, which provides extended recording time of up to 276 minutes.
These models are optimized for use with nonlinear editing systems thanks to their highly compact size and ease of operation. However, the HVR-M35 and HVR-M25AP provide additional powerful features such as a built-in 2.7-inch*1 type, 16:9 LCD monitor and an  HD-SDI or HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) output for more demanding production environments.
The HVR-M35, HVR-M25AP and HVR-M15AP are highly powerful, yet cost-effective tools for nonlinear editing systems that will serve both today’s production needs, as well as those of tomorrow.
