High-quality 4:2:2 Component Digital Recording

COMPONENT DIGITAL

The DY-70E delivers DTV-ready

recordings using JVC’s revolutionary D-9 4:2:2 format.

Unlike DV and its professional derivatives, which use 4:1:1 sampling and higher compression, D-9 records full 4:2:2 resolution with a 3.3 to 1 compression, resulting in sharp images with no artifacts. Moreover, because D-9 recordings are perceptually loss-less, they can be transferred to and from non-linear editing systems any number of times with little or no degradation. D-9 is also the only 50 Mbps 4:2:2 digital system that offers Pre-read, a feature which lets you easily perform high-quality multi- layer edits. Moreover, it allows interformat editing no matter what source footage you use (Beta SP, 3/4-inch, or S-VHS). Your digital master retains the original quality no matter how many layers you edit.

Heavy-duty Tape Transport Mechanism with Die-cast Magnesium Chassis

The heavy-duty tape transport system of the DY-70E ensures high-quality pictures. Moreover, a die-cast magnesium chassis ensures durable, rigid support for both mechanism and electronics, while its integrated drum base improves linearity.

14-bit Digital Signal Processor

The DY-70E applies JVC’s new DSP with advanced 14-bit video processing, which brings out natural details, eliminates spot noise, and accurately reproduces dark areas.

Three High-Density 1/2-Inch CCDs

Featuring three advanced 1/2-inch interline transfer CCDs and a 1/2-inch F1.4 RGB prism, the DY-70E delivers exceptionally sharp pictures. The high- resolution DY-70E features 440,000

effective pixels (752H582V). JVC’s innovative MICRO- LENSES, which are supported by a large light shield to reduce reflections and light leakages for minimal vertical smear, ensure highly efficient light conversion with a sensitivity of F11 at 2,000 Lux.

True Digital Camcorders

The DY-70E is a fully integrated digital camcorder which captures, processes, and records only digital signals for studio-quality acquisition. The result is sharply improved picture sharpness and image quality.

600% Wide Dynamic

Range

Multi-stream parallel digital pipeline processing at 40 MHz creates an ultra-smooth gamma curve

calculated using a true log scale WIDE DYNAMIC RANGE algorithm. The result is a dynamic

range of 600% to accurately reproduce fine details and colours in areas of both shadows and highlights.

NORMAL

LOLUX 0.75 Lux

When activated, the LOLUX mode increases sensitivity with almost no increase in noise. LOLUX lets you shoot in low light conditions, so you can capture high-quality video footage with excellent colour balance at just 0.75 lux illumination.
