— JVC’s Affordable
HD Solution

1. HDV Full Progressive Scanning (720p)

Leading industry professionals told us that they wanted a full­frame progressive scanning system that would shoot and
record the highest quality continuous moving images. ProHD
uses the 720/50p progressive HDV format and produces crisp,
native HD images which perfectly match today’s digital
displays and which can be converted easily, without
degradation, to interlaced scanning pictures.

2. Time Code

As a professional system, ProHD products include the facility
to record and display timecode. Convenient menu operation
makes it easy to preset time code at the beginning of a tape.
Simply select REC RUN or re-generation mode. User bits are
also available.

3. Highly efficient video compression

To provide the highest quality HD recording, JVC uses the
broadcast industry standard MPEG-2 Main Profile at H-14.
Offering far greater efficiency than frame-bound systems,
ProHD records at data rates at or above commercial broadcast
rates. Recent advancements in non-linear editing have made it
possible to edit ProHD on virtually all popular non-linear
editing systems. Direct digital transfers via IEEE 1394 ensure
the quality is maintained throughout the transfer process.

4. Dual recording system

Designed to utilise both DV tape and hard disk drives, ProHD
offers the ultimate in media versatility, maximising productivity
with efficient, economical editing and low-cost archiving. Now
you can safely archive the original tape cassette and then plug
the hard disk straight into your NLE. Editing can start right
away — no need to make dubs or transfer data.

5. Real 24p

With ProHD, the dream of creating HD video with the essence
of film has at last been realised. By capturing and recording at
the film frame rate of 24fps, and offering extensive user
configurable settings such as exposure, gamma and detail,
ProHD becomes an important tool for creative expression. For
the ultimate form of display on the cinema screen, 24 frame
progressive recordings can be readily transferred to 16 mm or
35 mm film.

today and tomorrow.

Professional specifications

HDV and DV compatible

As the HDV format uses the same recording track pitch as Professional
DV, the GY-HD200/201 can record signals in either standard (576i/50)
or high (720p/50) definition, according to the user’s needs.

Interchangeable HD lenses

The GY-HD200/201 features a standard professional 1/3" bayonet lens
mount, providing the opportunity to use a variety of other professional
HD lenses. In addition to the standard Th16x Fujinon lens supplied, a
number of other 1/3” bayonet mount zoom lenses is available. Canon
offers a powerful 20x5mm zoom lens and Fujinon similarly an
18x4.2mm, besides a very wide 13x3.5mm lens and 17x5mm lens.

Furthermore, lens mount adapters ACM-12 and ACM-17 convert
the mount to 1/2” and 2/3” bayonet mount respectively, providing cost
savings by way of using existing 1/2” and 2/3” lenses. Also, to enable
the use of film camera lenses, specialist film lens adapters are
available.

Fujinon HTs18x4.2BRM Canon KT20x5BKRS

3-CCD camera system with 720p HD CCDs

The GY-HD200/201 uses three 1/3” high definition CCD image
sensors. Each array has a pixel resolution of 1280 x 720 and uses a
micro lens system. Since this native resolution matches that of most
HDTV displays, the need for image scaling is eliminated, further
enhancing the quality of the recorded images. Another advantage of
using these CCDs is their sophisticated circuitry which virtually
eliminates both lag and image burn.

Real 24p camcorder

The GY-HD200/201 also offers real HD 24p recording capability —
previously available on only the most expensive HD cameras. Ideal for
DVD production, HD progressive 24-frame-per-second recording
makes it possible to shoot images with film-like quality and smooth
motion. Once recorded, those images can easily be transferred without
frame rate conversion to 16 mm or 35 mm film with full HD fidelity.

ProHD’s outstanding image quality is supported by a wide range of
powerful features which have great appeal to true film professionals.
These include the image inverse function, as required by certain film
lens adapters, and a menu to select the appropriate combination of
colour matrix and film gamma type. Cinema Gamma is deployed to
make video look like film, and Film Out gamma is used when the video
is to be ultimately transferred to film.

This choice of gamma means that the cinematographer,
irrespective of whether the final production will be presented as film or
as video, can be sure of always getting the best possible film look.

Uncompressed 720p/50 live output via component

When required, the GY-HD200/201 can output a live uncompressed
720p/50 signal in the form of analogue component signal, making it an
excellent choice as a video server feed.

Uncompressed 1080i/50 output via component

One very important reason why JVC developed the progressive form of
HDV was the ease and speed with which a progressive signal can be
converted to other formats, irrespective of whether the conversion is
up, cross or down. Conversion is always performed in real time
because the time-consuming complexity of de-interlacing is not
required. The GY-HD200/201 can be set to output 1080i/50 from any
recorded 720p/50 footage, whether recorded on a MiniDV cassette or
on the DR-HD100 hard disk drive.

Professional functions

Compact shoulder mount

JVC’s ProHD camcorders are the first fully professional HD camcorders
to feature a compact design and shoulder mount. Like its
predecessors, the GY-HD200/201 offers excellent mobility and
enhanced usability, while its flexible range of ergonomic adjustments
ensures that any camera operator, regardless of stature or physique,
can support the camcorder firmly and, above all, comfortably.

Professional functions and switch layout

In addition to the Full Auto Shooting to handle difficult or variable
lighting environments, the GY-HD200/201 is equipped with an array of
functions that give professionals creative flexibility. These include,
zebra, gain, white balance and full shutter control. Also, the
GY-HD200/201’s switches have been positioned where professional
camera operators expect them to be. Shooting is intuitive, precise,
easy, and error-free, because there is no learning process to go
through. The GY-HD200/201 is the ideal camera for any assignment.

Detachable 230,000-pixel LCD colour viewfinder

The viewfinder’s eyepiece can be moved backwards and forwards and
can also be adjusted laterally for left or right eye shooting, so the
viewfinder can fit any operator comfortably. JVC’s own developed
Focus Assist control ensures fast and easy focusing. It has 3 settings,
(high, medium & low) depending on the type of subject in view. To
make focusing even easier, a black and white mode is available.
Stronger contrast and reduced colour noise make visualisation and
composition easier in this mode and put less strain on the eyes, which
allows longer periods of shooting. The eyepiece viewfinder can be
used at same time as the LCD display. If it is not required, the eyepiece
viewfinder may be detached.

3.5" LCD display panel

This 250,000-pixel 3.5" colour TFT LCD monitor provides a high­resolution image during shooting and playback. JVC’s own developed
Focus Assist control ensures fast and easy focusing. A push button
selects three display modes:

1. Video only

2. Video images with text information overlay including time, status,
mode and other data are shown on the screen.

3. Only information such as time, status, mode, time code, audio levels
and other data is shown on the screen.

Various audio-related functions

When colour bars are output, an audio reference level (test tone) can
also be output if required. This is requested via the menu. The audio
reference level can be set at -12 dB or -20 dB as required. To minimise
extraneous noise picked up by the microphone, a "wind cut" function
is provided.

Versatility and flexibility

Camera settings recorded on SD card

Customised settings can be stored on a standard SD memory card and
loaded into another GY-HD200/201 or changed on site, as required.

IEEE 1394 (FireWire) in/out

A convenient IEEE 1394 interface allows easy direct connection to NLE
systems or to a PC for capturing, editing and archiving.

User-friendly design

Universal ergonomic design

The camcorder adapts to fit any shape of body comfortably because of
the shoulder pad that can be moved back & forth, the left or right eye
viewfinder that can also adjust back & forth, and the padded audio
monitor that slides up & down.

Patented “FOCUS ASSIST” function

A JVC patented device, Focus Assist, turns focusing into a fast, easy
and accurate process. When Focus Assist is activated, the picture in
the viewfinder becomes monochrome and all objects which are in focus
take on a coloured fringe. In addition to the factory default Middle
position, Low and High positions are available. In the Low position, you
can limit the area in focus for more precise focusing. This is particularly
helpful when using the technique of pulling focus. Focus Assist works
equally in the 0.44" viewfinder and the 3.5” LCD panel. There are two
Focus Assist buttons, one for each of handheld and shoulder operation.

Connect to optional external HDD

The camcorder has a hard disk drive accessory option, DR-HD100,
which connects via the IEEE 1394 port. Footage captured on the hard
disk can be edited immediately without having to wait for data
to be transferred.

DR-HD100 Hard Disk Drive incorporating the latest
DTE (Direct to EditTM) technology

Connects to GY-HD200/201 camcorder

The DR-HD100 has been designed specifically to attach to the GY-HD200/201
camcorder. Interlocked to the camcorder’s record trigger, HD and SD images can
be recorded together with audio and time code. It is powered by either a built-in
rechargeable or an external battery. The DR-HD100 is supplied with its own
cradle, from which it is detached easily. Optional bracketry is available for
mounting the HDD recorder at the rear of the camcorder.

Compatible with popular NLE systems for HDV and DV editing

TM

DTE

technology permits the DR-HD100 recording data in HDV and DV to be
set to the NLE’s native file format. This means that no time is lost to the lengthy
processes of file transfer and rendering. Use DR-HD100 instantly with the most
popular applications from Adobe, Apple, Avid, Canopus and many more. As new
application support is released, the DR-HD100 can be updated in the field with
new system software, by an easy process using the disk drive itself.

Integrated with camcorder and disk drive operation

Attached to the GY-HD200/201, the DR-HD100’s record and record/pause
functions are controlled from the camcorder. Time code generated by the
camcorder is recorded to files on the DR-HD100. The status of the DR-HD100
and other vital information appears in the camcorder’s viewfinder and LCD
display.

Long record times

This hard disk drive option extends uninterrupted record time by hours.
For example, an 80GB FireWire drive can store 6 hours of DV video and 7.5
hours of HDV video, and a 40GB drive does half these times. It is possible also
to daisy chain up to four external drives of different capacities to the DR-HD100,
enabling uninterrupted recording of incredibly long durations.

LCD display and playback modes

The DR-HD100 features a detailed LCD that displays system mode, time code and
disk space remaining. When used with the GY-HD200/201 camcorder, clips can be
reviewed on the viewfinder, LCD panel or external monitor, by using DR-HD100’s
playback mode. Functions include record, play, pause, stop, forward index, back
index and multi speed fast forward and rewind.

The edge of the in-focus subject is
shown in colour, telling the operator that
the subject is in-focus. A major benefit of
this system is that it operates in real time.

The advantages of ProHD

1. HDV format

HDV is a video format designed to
enable the recording of high
definition MPEG-2 video on
standard DV media (DV or MiniDV
cassette tape). The HDV
format was defined by four

companies: Canon Inc., Sharp
Corporation, Sony Corporation, and Victor Company of Japan Limited
(JVC). The specification of the HDV format incorporates two versions, one
progressive (720p) and the other interlaced (1080i). HDV uses the same
track pitch and tape speed as the DV format, and therefore the recording
times are the same length as the DV format.

2. HD Progressive (720p/50) format for high quality

moving pictures and digital stills

 Progressive scanning

JVC’s ProHD products use the same progressive scanning
system used in high-end HDTV cameras. Because the
GY-HD200/201 uses a full-frame (50p) progressive scanning
system, it has the unique ability to capture and store full
frames of image information. An added bonus of progressive
scanning is that it is a very simple process to convert a
progressive image to interlaced, but not vice versa. When
progressive recordings are paused or played in slow motion,
each individual frame contains the full detail of the original
image — excellent for viewing and analysing motion. Stills and
prints captured from HD progressive video look far better than
from interlaced video. In any case, today’s flat panel television
displays and fixed matrix projectors, such as D-ILA, DLP and
LCD, all utilise a native progressive scanning system. This
means that JVC’s progressive HDV recordings can be
displayed without imperfection, because they do not need to
pass through the degenerative process of de-interlacing, prior
to being displayed.

 HDV and DV compatibility

The HDV format uses the same recording track pitch (10 µm) as
Professional DV, meaning that ProHD also offers track pitch compatibility
with the DV format and the same recording time. This remarkable HD
recording capability was achieved by developing a new high-power
MPEG codec system capable of maintaining high-definition picture
quality, whilst compressing the data to 19.7 Mbps bit rate. With its
superior resolution and advanced processing, ProHD delivers top
performance in both its native 16:9 HD mode and in the SD mode,
either 16:9 or 4:3.

 Progressive HDV-compatible support

To maximise picture quality and performance from input to output, JVC
employs the HDV 720 progressive system. Progressive HDV’s resolution
of 1280 x 720 is the same as the native resolution of most HD display
devices in use today (LCD, plasma, DLP, D-ILA). HDV 720p is thus
natively compatible in terms of both resolution and scanning system with
the vast majority of today’s HD displays.

3. Real 24p

4.JVC’s dual recording system

The optional JVC Hard Disk Recorder DR-HD100 creates a dual
recording system of tape and hard disk. This system is already utilised by
Professional DV users the world over. The many advantages inherent in
JVC’s dual recording system of tape & hard disk drive are well
appreciated. It was only natural that JVC’s range of ProHD models would
include a Hard Disk Drive recorder and one that can operate equally in
DV and HDV modes. The dual recording system provides fast and
efficient HDD-based editing and cost-effective tape archiving, using low­cost tapes. Thanks to the newly developed MPEG-2 encoding IC, high­quality pictures can be recorded on readily available compact DV
cassettes, so running costs are minimal. As no special equipment or
exclusive media are required, the operating costs of the total system can
be kept low. The DR-HD100 is mounted at the rear of the camcorder,
utilising an optional bracket which is provided by the leading battery
systems manufacturers.

The GY-HD200/201, fitted
with Mini 35 film lens adapter
from P & S Technik,
becomes a digital film
camera.

Optimised picture quality from innovative
JVC technology within GY-HD200/201/251

Horizontal resolution and signal-to-noise ratio have been enhanced,
making the already high ProHD picture quality even better,. Together
with ProHD’s superior colour reproduction, these improvements
ensure true professional quality HD imaging. These are JVC’s key
technology innovations.

a. 14-bit A/D converter

To improve both the S/N ratio and the horizontal resolution, a new
14-bit A/D converter was specially developed by JVC to prevent
signal deterioration and to generate a fourfold increase in
gradations.

b. Wideband front end processing

The ProHD camcorder uses a wideband analogue front end to
process its CCD sampling via the 14-bit A/D converter. This further
improves the S/N ratio and horizontal resolution by optimising the
CCD drive circuitry. The new LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signal)
interface minimises any other possible signal degradation and so
contributes to the improved S/N ratio.

24p progressive full HD images are ideal for cinematographic
applications. From shooting to editing and distribution, an HD system can
be established for film-like productions. Unlike 24p images in standard
definition, when real 24p HD video is down-converted to SD, the result is
truly film-like DVDs. The camcorder itself, with its video lens removed and
replaced by a film lens converter system, such as the Mini 35 from P & S
Technik, effectively becomes a digital film camera.

3●

c. Newly-developed pixel converter

To enable 720p/50 recording, a new super encoder and a new pixel
converter were developed, incorporating an adaptive filter which
optimises the scalar performance of cross-converted signals,
including 1080i. The resultant effects are increased resolution and
reduced aliasing. Objects thus have much more natural looking
edges and images are therefore extremely lifelike in appearance.
