Dubbing To A Video Unit Equipped With A DV Connector (Digital Dubbing)

It is also possible to copy recorded scenes from the camcorder onto another video unit equipped with a DV connector. Since a digital signal is sent, there is little if any image or sound deterioration.

[To use this camcorder as a player]

1 Make sure all units are turned off. Connect the camcorder to a video unit equipped with a DV input connector using a DV cable as shown in the illustration.

2 Set the camcorder’s Power Switch to “ ” while pressing down the Lock Button located on the switch, turn on the video unit’s power, and insert the appropriate cassettes in the camcorder and the video unit.

3 Engage the video unit’s Record-Pause mode.

4 Engage the camcorder’s Play mode to find a spot just before the edit-in point. Once it is reached, press 4/6 on the camcorder.

5 Press 4/6 on the camcorder and engage the video unit’s Record mode.

6 Engage the video unit’s Record-Pause mode and press 4/6 on the camcorder.

NOTES:

●It is recommended to use the AC Power Adapter/ Charger as the power supply instead of the battery pack ( pg. 7).

●If the remote control is used when both the player and recorder are JVC video units, both units will perform the same operation. To prevent this from happening, press the buttons on both units.

●For Digital Dubbing, this camcorder can be connected only to one device at a time.

●If a blank portion or disturbed image is played back on the player during dubbing, the dubbing may stop so that an unusual image is not dubbed.

●Even though the DV cable is connected correctly, sometimes the image may not appear in step 4. If this occurs, turn off the power and make connections again.

●If “Playback Zoom” ( pg. 41), “Playback Special Effects” ( pg. 42) or “Snapshot” is attempted during playback, only the original playback image recorded on the tape is output from the DV OUT connector.

●When using a DV cable, be sure to use the optional JVC VC-VDV204U DV cable.

GR-DVL100, GR-DVL300 specifications

The JVC GR-DVL300 and GR-DVL100 are part of JVC's line of compact and versatile MiniDV camcorders that gained popularity in the early 2000s. Both models are designed to cater to the needs of amateur videographers and provide high-quality video recording in a user-friendly format.

The JVC GR-DVL300 stands out with its progressive scan technology, which enhances video clarity and reduces motion blur. This feature is particularly beneficial when shooting fast-moving subjects, making it a great choice for capturing sports events or action-packed scenes. The GR-DVL300 also boasts a 20x optical zoom lens, which allows users to get closer to their subjects without sacrificing image quality, while a digital zoom feature extends this capability even further.

In contrast, the GR-DVL100 is equipped with a 16x optical zoom and offers slightly fewer advanced features compared to its sibling. However, it remains a robust option for those who prioritize simplicity and ease of use. Both camcorders incorporate JVC’s advanced Image Stabilization technology, reducing camera shake and ensuring smooth footage, even during handheld use.

A key characteristic of both models is their ability to record in both LP (long play) and SP (standard play) modes, providing flexibility in recording time and video quality. Users can choose the mode that best suits their needs, whether they want longer recording durations or superior video quality.

Additionally, both camcorders feature a built-in digital still camera function, allowing users to capture snapshots at 640x480 resolution. This dual functionality adds value for those who want to capture both video and still images without the need for separate devices.

The JVC GR-DVL300 and GR-DVL100 also come with an array of connectivity options, including USB ports for easy transfer of videos to computers as well as S-Video and AV outputs for playback on larger screens. Their compact design makes them portable and convenient for on-the-go shooting, catering to travelers and event documentarians alike.

With their blend of functionality, ease of use, and versatile features, the JVC GR-DVL300 and GR-DVL100 remain noteworthy options for casual filmmakers who want reliable performance and impressive video quality in a compact camcorder package.
