Defining the future ofprofessional video —Introducing JVC ProHD
With the introduction of JVC’s ProHD, the promise of
digital technology has finally been fulfilled. Surprisingly
affordable, impressively professional, and remarkably
compact, ProHD embraces the HDV format to deliver a
complete high-definition solution that has been
designed to meet the needs of today’s most
demanding professionals, while retaining the ability to
adapt to future requirements.
Since the launch of D9 in 1996 and Professional DV in
1999, JVC has continued to develop and diversify its
digital video offerings in response to the rapidly
changing environment of visual communications and
production. JVC continues to evolve its digital
cameras and recorders with advanced features and
varied storage options, including full-size DV tape and
Hard Disk Drives.
Now with the production and delivery of video content
starting to shift to HD, JVC has combined its expertise
in camera, encoding and storage technologies to
create an affordable HD solution. JVC’s ProHD system,
adopting the HDV format, utilises widely available non-
proprietary technologies such as
MPEG-2 compression, DV recording media
and conventional hard disk drives. Based
on input from leading end users, JVC has
developed a system with the most sought-
after professional features and
performance. Noteworthy ProHD features
include full HD progressive scanning,
real 24p, and a dual recording system using
tape & HDD. As ProHD evolves, it will
include optical and solid state recording
media.
Designed and built for professionals,
ProHD is the true fulfillment of the digital
promise, offering true high definition
performance in a compact, affordable
system.
