Description

JVC's next generation 3-CCD Professional DV Camcorder carries the legacy of JVC's enormously popular GY-DV500U. JVC redesigned the camera from the ground up giving it features and performance that puts it in the league with the most expensive production cameras on the market.

A double tension tape transport utilizes a reel motor in addition to a capstan motor providing more running stability and precise handling. It can accommodate both standard and mini size cassettes without an adapter. Designed to professional standards, this mechanism also facilitates high speed operation. Cuing is also faster and more accurate. There is a built-in active/mechanical low-noise head cleaner that automatically cleans the heads each time a tape is loaded.

Up to 270 minutes (4 hrs. 36 min.) of high-quality 8-bit, 13.5 MHz 4:1:1(NTSC) DV component digital images can be recorded on a standard DV tape, while up to 60 minutes of recording is possible on MiniDV tapes.

This allows bi-directional transfer of a high-quality compressed digital motion-picture signal to a computer, a deck, a non-linear editing system or to another DV camcorder or VTR.

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.

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 indiscernible levels. Camera resolution is an impressive 800 TV lines.

JVC has developed an advanced 12-bit processing system--previously found only in very high end broadcast cameras. The 12-bit ADC (analog to digital converter) directly inputs data to the DSP (digital signal processor,) thus eliminating any signal degradation that might otherwise arise from analog circuits. 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 production cameras.

The DV5000's super fast multi-stream parallel processing DSP creates an ultra-smooth gamma curve calculated using a true log scale algorithm. The result is a dynamic range of over 400% that accurately reproduces fine details and colors in both shadowed and highlighted areas.

The 200,000-pixel 2.5" color TFT LCD monitor provides a high-resolution 440 TVL video image during shooting or instant replay. Like the viewfinder, it has an adjustable peaking and zebras that simplify focus and iris setting.
