The ideal editing solution, JVC’s dual-decks combine MiniDV and VHS in a single unit

A valuable addition to any home or professional editing suite, JVC’s dual decks integrate a high-quality MiniDV deck and Super VHS deck in a single unit, bridging the gap between DV and VHS to offer unprecedented video editing, dubbing and playback flexibility. As well as allowing you to record and enjoy television programming in digital or analogue formats, these decks provide the simplest way for you to dub DV masters to VHS or S-VHS, or to edit directly from DV to VHS.

Streamlined MiniDV playback

The integrated MiniDV deck extends the flexibility of your multimedia capabilities. Playing back your MiniDV recordings is as simple as inserting a MiniDV cassette into the MiniDV slot, for instant viewing on TV without connecting your MiniDV camera.

Innovative JVC technologies deliver outstanding picture quality

MiniDV Quality & Performance

The MiniDV format shrinks the superior quality and versatility of digital video into a matchbox-size cassette. Broadcast-level quality is achieved with MiniDV’s inherent high horizontal resolution (500 lines) and a colour bandwidth 3 times that of analogue video.

S-VHS Quality & Performance

These models incorporate JVC’s DigiPure Technology to deliver top-of-the-line S-VHS quality characterised by sharp image contours and vivid colours. DigiPure Technology is, in fact, a group of advanced digital image processing technologies perfected by JVC. They include Digital Wide TBC (Time Base Corrector) which removes "jitter" from fluctuating video signals, to deliver stable pictures even with old tapes, for improved playback quality. The

3-Dimensional Digital Circuit incorporating 2MB of Frame Memory is an underlying component for the following Digipure technologies. Precision 3-D Colour Circuit ensures clear colour separation without bleeding, to sharpen the edges of images, especially with red colours. Digital 3-D YNR/CNR removes fine dust-like noise (YNR) and uneven colour noise (CNR), improving the S/N ratio by

approximately 3 dB. In addition, Digital 3R Picture System applies edge correction to the luminance signal to enhance detail and improve the

chrominance signal’s transient characteristics.

Dubbing Possibilities

One-touch Dubbing

By virtue of the 2-in-1 design, one-touch dubbing is enabled in either direction — from DV-to-S-VHS or S-VHS-to-DV. Push the one-touch dubbing button on the front panel for two seconds and

it synchronises the two decks, rewinds both tapes to the start, and begins recording.

Versatile Dubbing Options

Video insert and audio dubbing is possible on either deck for increased post-recording options. For superior sound, high-quality 32KHz audio dubbing is available with the MiniDV deck. The S-VHS deck’s Flying Erase Head enables insert editing of new pictures without affecting the original audio track, and with no noticeable distortion at the transition points.

Advanced Connectivity

Both units are equipped with a DV in/out terminal that enables direct loss-less recording to/from the MiniDV format, as
