Performance for Production Professionals

High-quality 4:2:2 Component Digital

Recording

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.

D-9 Format

JVC’s D-9 format has established a reputation as a
workhorse format. Broadcasters and production
professionals rely on D-9 to deliver picture quality rivaling
the most expensive digital formats and reliability superior to
any video cassette format, analogue or digital.

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.

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.

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.

Superior Image Reproduction

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.

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
algorithm. The result is a dynamic
range of 600% to accurately
reproduce fine details and colours
in areas of both shadows and
highlights.
