HDV FORMAT

HDV 1080i Specification
The HDV 1080i specification*2 of the HDV format features 1,080 effective scanning lines (interlace scanning system) and 1,440 horizontal pixels. It adopts the MPEG-2 compression format (MP@H-14 for video), which uses 8-bit digital component recording with a sampling rate of 4:2:0. The HDV 1080i specification provides high picture quality that can be used for HDTV program production. In HDV format, the progressive recording format is also defined as an option for HDV1080i specification.With this format, called HDV native progressive format, 1080p images at 24, 25 or 30 frames per second can be recorded. The HVR-M35N/P/M25AN/AP/M15AN/AP enables users to play back 1080p images recorded with camcorders featuring this format and to record with i.LINK input.
Compatible with Existing and New DV Videocassette Tape
As a member of the proven DV family of formats, the HDV format has, from the outset, been developed for compatibility with all grades of DV videocassette tape. This allows operators to use high-grade DV videocassette tapes for applications where high robustness is critical, or consumer-grade videocassette tapes for more economical operations. For heavy-duty applications, the DigitalMasterTM high-grade cassette tape has been developed. This tape is compatible with the HDV, DVCAM, and DV formats.

Long Recording Time

The HDV format adopts the same track pitch and tape speed as the DV format, thus offering the same recording time a maximum of 276 minutes when recording on a DigitalMaster standard cassette tape and a maximum of 63 minutes when recording on a DigitalMaster mini cassette tape.
