JVC’s ProHD GY-HD100U

The future of affordable, high-definition digital cinematography. Here today.

Creating high-definition productions with the look and feel of film requires a camera that captures images with exceptional quality, gives the cinematographer extensive control over the most subtle nuances of the shot, and offers the freedom to choose the best lens for each situation. Until now, you had to sacrifice at least one of these requirements unless cost was no object. JVC’s ProHD GY-HD100U camcorder changes all that, with true 24p progressive scanning, the ability to use lenses ranging from general-purpose to 35-mm primes, and the comprehensive control and balance that serious HD cinematographers demand.

Progressive HD. The look and feel of film.

JVC’s GY-HD100U HD camcorder uses progressive scan at 24 frames per second (24p) for one simple reason: From image capture to display, 24p produces results that more closely resemble the look of film than interlaced scanning. That’s why high-end digital cinema cameras have always used progressive scan.

The three CCDs in the GY-HD100U capture square pixels with full HD 1280 x 720 resolution. The camera needs no interpolation or upscaling to achieve real HD quality because every frame contains a complete, high-definition progressive image, just as film cameras do. The GY-HD100U records images on HDV tape or hard disk and sends them to the editing system exactly

as they were captured, in 1280 x 720 resolution. The result is a rich, sharp picture that’s true to your original intent... and closer to the look of film.
