D-VHS Recorders

Full Spec HDTV Compatible

When it comes to HDTV recording, nothing compares to JVC’s D-VHS. With a

28.2 Mbps HS mode that exceeds the

19 Mbps specification of ATSC MPEG-2 HD broadcasting formats, D-VHS captures the full HDTV signal with no data loss whatsoever. And since a single D-VHS DF-480 tape holds up to 50 gigabytes of

D-VHS Recording Modes

data, all that picture and sound information can be recorded in its original, full-quality 1080i or 720p broadcast form for up to

4 hours. Of course, D-VHS also records up to 8 or even 24 hours of standard definition sources such as 480p* and 480i digital broadcasts in D-VHS’s 14.1 Mbps STD and LS3 modes.

* Depending on the bit-rate, HS mode may be applicable.

Integrated Digital

Terrestrial Receiver

The integrated digital terrestrial receiver is all you need to enjoy full access to ATSC digital terrestrial broadcasts, all the way from standard definition (SD) to 1080i high definition. Since the digital terrestrial receiver is built in, you do not need an IEEE 1394 connection and an extra STB (for ATSC broadcasts). The HM-DT100 receives all forms of ATSC digital terrestrial programs including high-definition broadcasts, records them exactly “as they are” with no loss of quality, and plays them back whenever you want.

Mode	Data Rate	Max. Recording Time			When to Use
		DF-300	DF-420	DF-480*
HS	28.2 Mbps	2.5 hrs.	3.5 hrs.	4 hrs.	For directly recording HD digital broadcasts with HD quality. Highest quality recording of any digital or
					analog source.
STD	14.1 Mbps	5 hrs.	7 hrs.	8 hrs.	To digitally record from digital or analog sources with SD quality.
LS3	4.7 Mbps	15 hrs.	21 hrs.	24 hrs.	To record a large number of programs on a single cassette with average DVD quality.

Single, Uncompressed, Digital HDMI™ Connection with Content Protection (HDCP) Technology

Adopted by over 100 manufacturers, the digital

HDMI™ interface is already set to become the standard of the future. It delivers uncompressed digital video and audio signals to your display, so there is no signal deterioration. HDMI™ prevents any signal loss by transferring video digitally, without going through an analog interface or performing unnecessary digital-to-analog conversions, delivering a pristine signal that produces lossless images identical to the original. Not only does HDMI™ give you the highest quality images, but also true-to-life sound to intensify your home theater experience.

HDTV Compatible MPEG-2 HD Decoder and HDTV Component Output

In addition to HDMI™ digital-to-digital connection, the HM-DT100 and HM-DH5 also support analog connection. The MPEG-2 HD Decoder converts recorded MPEG-2 signals into Component output signals (Y/Pb/Pr). Connect directly to any HDTV or projector equipped with Component input terminals to enjoy the full quality of D-Theater™ software and other high- definition images.

MPEG-2 CODEC to Record Various Sources Digitally

The standard definition MPEG-2 encoder makes D-VHS digital recordings from NTSC analog sources, as well as converting signals from a connected MiniDV camcorder to MPEG-2 and recording them on D-VHS.

5.1ch Dolby Digital Sound

The D-VHS decks record high-

definition broadcasts complete with 5.1ch surround sound. In addition, HDMI™ and the optical digital audio output make it easy to connect and enjoy outstanding audio performance on your home theater sound system.

Linear PCM Digital Audio Capability

Thanks to the HM-DT100 and HM-DH5’s 48kHz/16-bit linear PCM recording in either HS or STD mode, you can record full quality linear PCM digital sound from a MiniDV camcorder connected via i.LINK. You can also record high-quality soundtracks from analog sources in this non-compressed digital format to accompany the resulting high-quality digital image. The PCM audio data rate uses 1.6 Mbps out of the

28.2 Mbps HS and 14.1 Mbps STD modes.

Backed by major motion picture studios, HDMI™ provides digital content that truly reflects the filmmaker’s original vision. To support secure one-way transfer of digital content, the HM-DT100 and HM-DH5 feature HDMI™ output with content protection technology called HDCP.

Plus, HDMI™ also transfers video from existing standard definition analog sources, after conversion to progressive 480p digital video for greatly improved image quality. And, since this breakthrough technology’s single cable handles both video and multi-channel audio, it makes cabling complications a thing of the past.

* Copy protected contents cannot be transferred through the

HDMI™ output to any device not equipped with an HDCP-

compliant connector. Please be sure to connect to or via

HDCP-compliant devices.

** HDMI™ is compatible with DVI-D so an HDMI™ cable can

be connected to a DVI-D-compatible TV display using a

Super MPEG Encode Pre-Processor Enhances Analog Signals for Digital Recording

To record analog sources in high-quality digital, the HM-DT100 and HM-DH5 use JVC’s exclusive Super MPEG Encode Pre- Processor to eliminate the defects inherent in analog signals and create new digital recordings that actually appear to surpass the original quality. Its Time Base Corrector (TBC) eliminates jitter, Frame Synchronizer corrects frame crossover jitter and processes any deviant frames, and Motion Active Noise Reduction circuit removes noise from both still and moving parts of video pictures. The decks digitally encode and record the now pristine NTSC-compliant analog input signals, free of image lag, smear and MPEG artifacts such as mosquito noise.

i.LINK Terminals

IEEE 1394 (i.LINK) digital interface terminals with DTCP* content protection technology on the front and rear of the HM-DT100 and HM-DH5 allow you to easily connect with i.LINK compatible devices such as a MiniDV or high-definition camcorders for convenient digital-to-digital dubbing. You can also connect the HM-DH5 with a Digital Set-Top Box (STB) to transfer and record HD and SD broadcast digital signals**.

*DTCP (Digital Transmission Content Protection) protects digital content from unauthorized copying. Copy-protected contents cannot be recorded via i.LINK terminals. Connected digital devices must be DTCP-compatible to playback copy-protected digital content.

**Service depends on whether the digital stream provided by cable systems conforms to the ATSC format.

DVI conversion cable. However, please be sure to verify

that the source unit is HDCP-compliant.
