Connection To A Video Unit Equipped With A DV Connector

Connection to the GV-DT3 Digital Printer (optional) allows you to print out images or transfer them to a PC. It is also possible to copy recorded scenes from the camcorder onto another video unit equipped with a DV connector. This function is called Digital Dubbing ( pg. 39), which offers virtually no image or sound deterioration.

1 Make sure all units are turned off.

2 Make connections to the device you want to connect to using a DV cable, as shown in the illustration.

3 If necessary, connect the PC connection cable (optional) to the printer’s PC connector and the PC’s RS-232C connector.

4 Turn the camcorder’s Power Switch to “ ” while pressing down the Lock Button located on the switch and turn on the other units.

NOTES:

It is recommended to use the AC Power Adapter/

Charger as the power supply instead of the battery pack (  pg. 9).

For Digital Dubbing, this camcorder can be connected

only to one device at a time. This camcorder can also be used as a recorder (  pg. 39).

If Still Playback, Fast-Forward or Rewind is attempted with the camcorder connected to a video unit via the DV connector, the image will take on an effect similar to a colored mosaic pattern or it will become black.

Also refer to the instruction manuals of the connected units.

When using a DV cable, be sure it has a core filter attached. The core filter reduces interference.

GR-DVL100 specifications

The JVC GR-DVL300 and GR-DVL100 are part of JVC's line of compact and versatile MiniDV camcorders that gained popularity in the early 2000s. Both models are designed to cater to the needs of amateur videographers and provide high-quality video recording in a user-friendly format.

The JVC GR-DVL300 stands out with its progressive scan technology, which enhances video clarity and reduces motion blur. This feature is particularly beneficial when shooting fast-moving subjects, making it a great choice for capturing sports events or action-packed scenes. The GR-DVL300 also boasts a 20x optical zoom lens, which allows users to get closer to their subjects without sacrificing image quality, while a digital zoom feature extends this capability even further.

In contrast, the GR-DVL100 is equipped with a 16x optical zoom and offers slightly fewer advanced features compared to its sibling. However, it remains a robust option for those who prioritize simplicity and ease of use. Both camcorders incorporate JVC’s advanced Image Stabilization technology, reducing camera shake and ensuring smooth footage, even during handheld use.

A key characteristic of both models is their ability to record in both LP (long play) and SP (standard play) modes, providing flexibility in recording time and video quality. Users can choose the mode that best suits their needs, whether they want longer recording durations or superior video quality.

Additionally, both camcorders feature a built-in digital still camera function, allowing users to capture snapshots at 640x480 resolution. This dual functionality adds value for those who want to capture both video and still images without the need for separate devices.

The JVC GR-DVL300 and GR-DVL100 also come with an array of connectivity options, including USB ports for easy transfer of videos to computers as well as S-Video and AV outputs for playback on larger screens. Their compact design makes them portable and convenient for on-the-go shooting, catering to travelers and event documentarians alike.

With their blend of functionality, ease of use, and versatile features, the JVC GR-DVL300 and GR-DVL100 remain noteworthy options for casual filmmakers who want reliable performance and impressive video quality in a compact camcorder package.
