JVC GY-HD100U

CCD Mini DV Professional Digital Video Camcorder

One look at the this camera and it's obvious: this is not your normal camcorder. All the controls and switches are laid out in the same manner as on higher end production cameras. Because of extensive customization capabilities, there are menus, but critical performance controls are right at your fingertips where you expect them. The actual guts of this thing is a truly advanced progressive camera that sets a new benchmark in the industry. · 24 frames per second progressive acquisition produces recorded images that have a more polished, film-like appearance than typical interlaced video cameras. That's why virtually all high end digital cinematography cameras utilize the 24P system. The GY-HD100U uses three newly developed 1/3-inch native high definition CCDs that produce a more refined HD look without scaling. Since the native 24 frame material is recorded to tape, it is possible to transfer the recordings to film without frame rate conversion. Time code is recorded in the 24P mode, so recordings made with the GY-HD100U can be edited with film based or high end digital systems with complete ease.
