JVC’s Affordable

HD Solution

1. HDV Full Progressive Scanning (720p)

Industry leading professionals told us that they wanted a full- frame progressive scanning system that would shoot and record the highest quality moving continuous images. ProHD uses the 720/60p progressive HDV format and produces crisp, native HD images which perfectly match today’s digital displays and which can be converted easily, without degradation, to interlaced pictures.

2. Time Code

As a professional system, ProHD products include the facility to record and display time code. Convenient menu operation makes it easy to preset time code at the beginning of a tape. Simply select REC RUN or re-generation mode. User bits are also available.

3. Highly efficient video compression

To provide the highest quality HD recording, JVC uses the broadcast industry standard MPEG-2 Main Profile at H-14. Offering far greater efficiency than frame-bound systems, ProHD records at data rates at or above commercial broadcast rates. Recent advancements in non-linear editing have made it possible to edit ProHD on virtually all popular Non-Linear systems. Direct

digital transfers through IEEE 1394 ensure there is no loss in quality throughout the transfer process.

4. Dual recording system

Designed to utilize both DV tape and optional hard disk drives, ProHD offers the ultimate in media versatility, maximizing productivity with efficient, economical editing and low-cost archiving. Now you can safely archive the original tape cassette and then plug the hard disk straight into your NLE. Editing can start right away — no need to make dubs or transfer data.

5. Real 24p

With ProHD, the dream of creating HD video with the essence of film has at last been realized. By capturing and recording at the film frame rate of 24fps, and offering extensive user configurable settings such as exposure, gamma and detail, ProHD becomes an ideal tool for creative expression. In addition, native 24p editing is now possible in HD at a low bit rate of 19Mbps, enabling the creation of EDLs (Edit Decision Lists) of 24 frame material with compatible Non-Linear Editing software. For the ultimate expression on the big screen, 24 frame progressive recordings can be transferred easily to 16 mm or 35 mm film.
