Owners of select new JVC Everio camcorders will
be able to create DVDs without the need for a PC with the
introduction of JVC’s new Everio SHARE STATION, a DVD
burner designed specifically for use with three new JVC Everio
G-Series camcorders.
The availability of the new JVC Everio CU-VD10 gives users
of the company’s Everio hard drive camcorders the best
of both worlds – the capacity and convenience of hard
drive video recording combined with quick, simple transfer
to a DVD.
“Now, consumers can enjoy the benefits of hard drive
recording – hours and hours of video capacity, direct
access to scenes, easy re-sequencing of scenes, and instant
scene deletion – and a quick and easy way to put their
footage onto a DVD,” said Dave Owen, General Manager,
Consumer Video Division, JVC Company of America.
The new JVC Everio SHARE STATION, available for about $200,
connects via a USB cable to the new Everio GZ-MG27, GZ-MG37
and GZ-MG77 and allows the camcorder to transfer footage
directly to a DVD. These new Everio camcorders convert .mod
files to DVD Video format, which the SHARE STATION then makes
into DVD Video discs that can be played on most DVD players.
Once connected via USB 2.0, the camcorder automatically
identifies the DVD burner and is used to control the burning
process. The desired video clips are selected from a menu
that appears on the camcorder’s LCD, and with the push
of a button they’re transferred to a blank DVD that
had been loaded into the JVC burner. One hour of video footage,
which is about 4GB, takes approximately 45 minutes to burn
to a disc. Recordings are made using DVD-R/-RW discs.
The Everio SHARE STATION can also be connected to a PC (Windows
XP/2000SP4) for DVD burning and reading. Used with recommended
DVD-R/-RW discs it offers a write speed of up to 8x (4x RW),
and a read speed of 8X (5x RW). It offers a reading speed
of 5x for DVD-ROM, and 10x for CD-R, CD-RW, and CD-ROM discs.
The burner comes with Power 2 Go data writing software from
Cyberlink for PC. Everio camcorders come with Cyberlink’s
PowerDirector Express NE for PC editing, PowerProducer 3
NE for PC authoring and PowerDVD 5 NE for PC playback.

JVC’s Everio G Series camcorders, the world’s
first hard drive camcorders, eliminate the need to carry
tapes, discs or any media at all, yet can record up to seven
hours of DVD movie-quality video or more than 10 hours at
DVD camcorder-quality. Other advantages of hard drive video
recording include the ability to quickly locate desired material,
to effortlessly delete unwanted material and to easily rearrange
playback sequence. The ground-breaking Everio G Series garnered
several awards, including the Sound & Vision Editors’ Choice
Award, Men’s Health 100 Best New Products For Men,
Popular Science “Best of What’s New” and
the CES Innovations 2006 Design & Engineering award.
Pricing and availability: The JVC CU-VD10 Everio SHARE STATION
will be available as of April and will sell for about $200.
