The GY-DV5000U is a high- performance Professional DV 3-CCD camcorder that boasts advanced features such a 12-bit ADC (used only in broadcast cameras), with advanced 24-bit DSP for superior

image processing and unprece- dented image control. More than just a successor to the GY-DV500U, the 5000 sets a new standard in versatility with its optional network connectivity, external light trigger,

Standard/Mini-DV mechanism, 2.5-inch LCD Data/Video display,

and more. Newly developed

Standard DV/Mini DV mechanism;

A new double tension tape trans- port utilizes a reel motor in addition to a capstan motor providing more

running stability

andprecise handling. It can accommodate

both standard

and mini size

cassettes without an adapter. De- signed to professional standards, this mechanism also facilitates high speed operation. Cueing is also faster and more accurate. There is a

built-in active/mechanical low- noise head cleaner that automati- cally cleans the heads each time a tape is loaded. Up to 270 minutes (4 hrs. 36 min.) of high-quality 8-bit,

13.5MHz 4:1:1(NTSC) DV compo- nent digital images can be recorded on a standard DV tape, while up to 60 minutes of recording is possible on MiniDV tapes. High-quality PCM locked audio; To complement the superior pictures, the GY-DV5000

offers outstanding digital PCM audio. 16-bit, 48-kHz audio signals are locked with video signals for smooth editing. You can choose from two 16-bit 48-kHz channels or

four 12-bit, 32-kHz channels with a dynamic range of more than 75 dB. Two XLR mic input connectors are provided. Three 1/2-inch CCDs for

high resolution; To ensure the

best possible image quality, the

GY-DV5000U incorporates three 1/2" 410,000 (380,000 effective) pixel CCDs. Each CCD is equipped with highly advanced circuitry that virtually eliminates vertical smear when shooting bright lights against a dark background. Lag and image burn are also reduced to indis- cernible

levels. Camera reso- lution is

an impressive 800 TV lines. F13 at

2000 lux; The most sensitive camera ever! (F13 at 2000 lux) as- sures effortless shooting in extreme low light situations. This powerful feature increases creative flexibility

and simplifies lighting require- ments. Newly-developed12-bit ADC and 24-bit DSP; JVC has de- veloped an advanced 12-bit proc- essing system--previously found only in very high end broadcast cameras. The 12-bit ADC (analog to

digital con- verter) directly inputs data to the DSP (digital

signal processor,) thus eliminating any signal degradation that might otherwise arise from analog cir- cuits. In addition, the advanced video processing brings out natural details--even in extremely bright scenes, greatly reduces noise, and provides color accuracy found only in the most expensive field pro-

duction cameras. 1/2-inch in- dustry standard bayonet lens

mount; The GY-DV5000 uses a

standard professional 1/2-inch bayonet lens mount, making it compatible with the widest selec- tion of broadcast and professional lenses. No adapters, no hidden costs. Just a smart way to tap the rich infrastructure of interchange-

able professional lenses. Color

matrix; A sophisticated six-axis

color matrix circuit effectively compensates optics-related color reproduction to ensure more natu- ral, true-to-life tones. Color match- ing adjustment with other manu- facturers' products is also possible with 5 user selectable choices

including a "Sony look." Black
