Professional design

HDV recording

As the HDV format uses the same recording track pitch as Professional DV, the BR-HD50 can record signals in either standard or high definition depending on the user's needs.

Recording system

The BR-HD50 can record signals in 720p/24, 25 & 30, 480p/60 & 576p/50 and in 576i/50 & 576p/25.

Standard DV & Mini DV compatible mechanism

Proven on JVC’s Professional DV recorders, this mechanism not only provides high stability, but also accommodates both Standard DV and Mini DV cassettes without the need for a cassette adapter.

DVCAM playback capability

DVCAM recordings can be played back directly on the BR-HD50 in SD mode. This means that DVCAM recordings can easily be used as source material for editing.

Multi-format output and Cross-converter function

Stable high picture quality

A sophisticated cross-converter function enables output of not only 720p signals, but also 1080i, 576p and 576i signals. So, thanks to switchable HDV and DV recording modes, plus DVCAM playback, this recorder / player is a real asset for any existing editing system.

HDV 60Hz and 50Hz compatibility

Switch between HDV 60 Hz or 50 Hz as required. This makes it easy to work with internationally sourced material and transfer it to a non-linear system for editing. You can also record to Standard DV or Mini DV tape in either HDV 60 Hz or 50 Hz.

*Cannot be used as an HDV 60 Hz - 50 Hz converter. The BR-HD50 can record and play back

signals in both HDV 60 Hz and 50 Hz formats.
