JVC GY-DV700WU Specifications - Page 5

High-quality PCM digital audio Connector Connector To complement its superior pictures, the GY-DV700WU offers outstanding digital PCM sound. Audio signals are locked with video signals for smooth editing. You can choose from two 16-bit 48-kHz channels or two 12-bit, 32kHz channels with a dynamic range of more than 85 dB. CH1 and CH2 audio channels with manual audio controls are provided on both the back and front of the unit, assuring that your primary audio is always within easy reach during shooting. In addition, auto mode with limiter compressor and low cut filter for outdoors shooting are provided. Three XLR connectors provide line or microphone input level with selectable phantom power while a built-in wireless microphone receiver receptacle can be used to carry Sony 820 wireless receiver. LOLUX 0.75 lux LOLUX When activated, the LOLUX NORMAL mode (an original JVC invention) increases sensitivity with almost no increase in noise. LOLUX lets you shoot in near complete darkness (as low as 0.75 lux). As a result, you can capture footage under the most challenging conditions. This feature is a real plus for ENG, reality TV or documentaries. 14-bit digital signal processor (DSP) The GYDV700WU applies JVC's DSP with advanced highspeed dual pipeline 14-bit video processing. Color matrix, skin detail, highlight chroma and no black compression bring out natural details, eliminate spot noise, and accurately reproduce dark areas, allowing you to get great footage using only ambient light. Versatile functions IEEE 1394 (Firewire) BR-DV600 input/output compatible with most NLE systems GY-DV700W This allows high-quality compressed digital video signal transfer directly to a computer, a non-linear editing system, or to another DV recorder. Producers can now digitally spool directly to a non-linear editing platform without loss, and then transfer the finished product directly back to video tape using the camera alone. SMPTE time code input/output SMPTE TC I/O connectors for multi-camera shooting allow synchronization to other devices such as Nagra, DAT's and TC Slate. The GY-DV700WU's internal SMPTE TC reader generator provides user bit, and drop, non-drop TC at any tape speed. Super Scene Finder (SSF™) A JVC exclusive, Super Scene Finder lets you log scenes automatically or manually in the field while shooting, and optionally mark the best ones. The SSF data for the last six tapes is retained in the camcorder's non-volatile memory. Data for up to 134 scenes may be permanently stored on the head of the corresponding tape. The camcorder possesses an RS-232 port for controlling the tape mechanism and downloading the scene data to a PC running logging software. Super Scene Finder dramatically speeds up and simplifies not only the production, but also the NLE transfer process and saves disk space, because you digitize only those scenes you need for editing. Convenient facilities The GY-DV700WU is provided with a tripod and lens mount compatible with a wide range of peripherals such as Steadicams, cranes, dollies and matte boxes/rail systems. Compact, lightweight design Only 3 kg (6.6 lbs.) for the main unit Because it uses MiniDV tapes, high-tech materials, advanced microprocessors and highly-integrated electronics, the GY-DV700WU is able to pack a lot of performance into a very compact body. Built entirely of a strong yet lightweight die-cast magnesium alloy, the camcorder body itself weighs only 3 kg (6.6 lbs.). Even when you add lens, viewfinder, battery pack and tape, it is still surprisingly light - weighing in at 5.5 kg (12.1 lbs.) or less. User-friendly design Viewfinder status display The viewfinder status display uses characters and menus to display selected information in the viewfinder. For example, 4:3 or 16:9 safe area, time code/tape remain, F stop, battery condition, shutter speed, zebra pattern for skin detail and brightness indication are all displayed, as well as various events, camera setting status, recorder operation, and selected setup parameters. Convenient menu dial Quickly and easily navigate through the camera's powerful setup menu or select the shutter-speed with the convenient menu point and click dial. Tally lamps Tally lamps on the viewfinder and rear panel indicate when the camera enters the record mode and flash when the battery level is too low, the remaining tape time is less than 3 minutes, etc. Either tally may be switched off at the user's discretion. Back-lit LCD display Clear and easy-to-see even in the dark, this display shows operation status and warning indicators including audio level indicators, remaining tape/battery power display, time code reader/generator indication, menu setting and time date display.
