JVC digital camcorders is introducing a digital camcorder
that offers enhanced video and still image quality thanks
to a two mega-pixel CCD image sensor, JVC’s new Megabrid
engine and a new Super Hi-Rez lens. Moreover, the new camcorder
comes with a USB Video Class interface for enhanced PC connectivity.
The JVC GR-DZ7 Mini DV camcorder features chic, jewel-like
styling in a size that will handily fit into a purse. Inside
its compact dimensions it is equipped with a two mega-pixel
CCD image sensor for high quality video and digital stills.
As the demand for high-speed data transfer continues to
grow, PC connectivity is becoming increasingly more important.
To ensure widespread PC connectivity for this new camcorder
at a time when PC makers are opting for USB versus an IEEE
1394 interface, GR-DZ7 comes with a USB port, which supports
USB Video Class. So DV signal data can be transferred to
PC* via the commonly used USB 2.0 High-Speed port, with no
need to worry about the IEEE1394 (I-Link) terminal. A USB
cable and USB Video Class driver** are provided.
In order to fully utilize the two mega-pixel CCD’s
picture performance, the GR-DZ7 digital camcorder uses JVC’s
Megabrid engine that separately processes video and still
signals, providing optimal processing for each. This results
in high sensitivity and a high signal-to-noise ratio for
moving pictures as well as clear, high resolution still images.
This new engine works in conjunction with JVC’s proven
Super High-Band Processor that restores the high-band components
of the luminance signal to ensure a crisp, clear picture.
This new dv camcorder from JVC also features a Super Hi-Rez
lens specifically matched for two mega-pixel CCD performance.
The newly developed nine-group 11-element structured optics,
which includes a glass-molded aspherical lens, offers high-precision
10X optical zoom and 300X digital zoom for true picture quality.
The camcorder also offers JVC’s 3D noise reduction,
proven picture improvement technology used in VCRs that’s
now available in JVC camcorders. This circuitry reduces video
noise by up to 30 percent, especially when shooting in low
light.
The GR-DZ7 adheres to JVC’s commitment to provide
a “one box solution” by including with software
for burning a copy of recorded MiniDV footage to a DVD via
a computer.
Also featured is an auto flash that makes it easier and
more convenient to take still images in low light or nighttime
situations. Choose from either AUTO, On or Off in either
standard or red-eye reduction mode.
To make shooting easy in a wide range of situations, the
2.5-inch Clear LCD monitor suppresses diffusion of internal
light to deliver a brighter, clearer image, and also reduces
reflection and glare from external light so images are clearly
visible even when shooting outdoors in bright sunlight.
