The companion model to the GY-HD110, this HDV and
DV recorder / player is designed to transfer video and
audio data to an NLE editing system. Optimised for use
with a wide variety of existing systems and formats, this
unit features switchable HDV and DV modes and
analogue outputs. It can connect also to a plasma or an
LCD panel equipped with an HDMI connector and be
used as a low-cost viewer. With its low cost and high
flexibility, the BR-HD50 is ideal for any facility looking for
a smooth upgrade path from standard definition to high
definition production.
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.
Multi-format output and Cross-converter function
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.
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.
Stable high picture quality
Auto error correction system
JVC has developed an auto error
correction system that operates
on a frame-by-frame basis to
ensure accurate error
compensation during playback.
After optimally calibrating the
playback RF waveform with a
pre-filter circuit, the VCO (voltage
control oscillator) voltage is
