Professional at every level.
JVC designed the GY-HD100U as a professional camera, a fact that’s obvious from the common-sense layout of the controls to its exceptional balance. The GY-HD100U is a comfortable companion on your shoulder, and perfectly suited for all types of grip and camera support equipment as well.
All controls are located for your convenience — precisely what you’d expect of a professional HD camera, so you can concentrate on the shot rather than groping for buttons. The lightweight GY-HD100U is extremely maneuverable too, so it can get into tight spaces where high-end digital cinematography cameras can’t go. With the GY-HD100U you’ll get the shot, whatever challenging situation you come up against.
HDV and direct-to-edit HD recording. Together.
The GY-HD100U uses miniDV tape because it’s a proven, cost-effective, reliable storage medium — important when your project calls for high shooting ratios with hours upon hours of footage.
The GY-HD100U also lets you record directly to hard disk with JVC’s optional DR-HD100 portable direct-to-edit recorder. The DR-HD100 stores
up to 6 hours of content and is only 1.5 inches thick, so you can mount it directly to the GY-HD100U. Connect it to your Mac or PC editing system via Firewire, and
there is no digitizing or ingesting — you’re instantly ready to edit. You can record simultaneously
to hard disk and tape for the assurance of high-quality backup.
