The Perfect Choice for Cost-effective HD Productions – the Sony HVR-M25 and HVR-M15 HDV 1080i VTRs In 2004, Sony introduced affordable, yet high-performance HD recording systems adopting the HDV™ 1080i specification of the HDV format to a wide range of professional videographers. Upon that introduction, these HDV systems gained a rapid and wide acceptance due to their high picture quality, outstanding performance, and costeffectiveness.
HDV FORMAT HDV 1080i Specification The HDV 1080i specification*3 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. MPEG-1 Audio Layer II is used as the audio compression format, allowing for two-channel recording with a sampling frequency of 48 kHz/16-bit.
