Introduction

This camera recorder enables recording of HD format

images on an SDHC card, and also playback of these

images.

Recording in QuickTime File Format

Recording can be made in QuickTime file format of Final Cut

Pro, a video editing software from Apple Inc.

You can edit the recorded clips directly with Final Cut Pro.

Recording on SDHC Memory Card (Class 6)

The absence of mechanisms with the use of SDHC (class 6)

as recording media brings about increased operation

reliability. In addition, the improved compatibility with

computers enables high-speed data transfer to NLE as well

as reduction of operating costs.

35 Mbps High Image Quality Mode

This camera recorder is eq 3uipped with a 5 Mbps high

quality mode, in addition to the HDV mode bit rate (19/

25 Mbps).

Dual Media Slots

Continuous recording is possible by loading two SDHC cards

into the dual media slots, thereby allowing a long recording

time.

Wide Variety of Recording Formats

This camera recorder supports various HD formats (1080i,

1080p, 720p) and can be used under various environments.

It also supports 1440x1080 and 1920x1080 full resolution in

the 1080 format.

Adoption of MPEG-2 Long GOP for Easy

Editing

Shortens editing and output time by adopting MPEG-2

codec, which puts less stress on the editing computer.

High Resolution via New [Triplex Offset]

2.5kx1.4k pixels are generated with the new Triplex Offset

and a high resolution of more than 900 horizontal lines and

1000 diagonal lines is achieved using the proprietary front

processing.

New [Spot Meter] Function

The brightest and darkest positions on the screen are

automatically detected and displayed together with the

dynamic range. As this is a pre-gamma value, it allows you to

understand the lighting ratio and prevents overexposure or

underexposure in shooting scenes where lighting is

controlled.

New Viewfinder

With a high resolution of 852x480 in 0.425 inches, the new

viewfinder is now more robust and enables more accurate

focusing.

High Resolution LCD Monitor

Equipped with a 4.3 inch 800x480 large LCD monitor, both

shooting precision and viewing performance are improved.

Updated User Interface

The sophisticated user interface allows more intuitive

operations. Thumbnail display is also available for you to

select a recorded clip for easy playback.

Compact Shoulder Style

By inheriting the compact shoulder style from the GY-HD100

series which is widely accepted in the industry, more stable

shooting can be done on this camera recorder while its

weight remains similar to that of a handheld camera

recorder.

Lens Interchangeability

Existing lens can be used, thus saving on costs. You can

also select the most appropriate lens according to your

shooting requirements.

Professional Batteries

Batteries such as Anton Bauer and IDX batteries that are

used in the broadcast industry can be used in this camera

recorder.

Support for Wide Variety of Output

Supports industrial output such as HD-SDI output and

IEEE1394 output.

DV Transcode Output

In consideration of the usage in SD environment, IEEE1394

output can also be encoded in DV format.

Application Software Provided

The [JVC ProHD Clip Manager] application software is

provided for you to copy recorded clips to Windows or

Macintosh computers and for checking the video images.

(MP4 file format)

Main Features

The CD-ROM provided with this camera recorder

comes with [JVC ProHD Clip Manager] and other

application software as well as the user guides.

Introduction

Handling of SDHC Cards

䡵The access lamp lights up in red when data on the SDHC

card is being accessed. Do not remove the SDHC card

during data access (such as recording, playback, or

formatting). Do not turn off the power or remove the

battery and AC adapter during access either.

䡵Do not use or store this device in a place that is subject to

static electricity or electrical noise.

䡵Do not place the SDHC card near locations that are

exposed to strong magnetic fields or radio waves.

䡵Inserting the SDHC card incorrectly may result in damage

of this device or the SDHC card.

䡵We are not liable for any accidental loss of data stored on

the SDHC card. Please back up any important data.

䡵Make use of the SDHC card within the prescribed

conditions of use. Do not use the SDHC card in places

that are subject to direct sunlight, high humidity or

corrosion; places near thermal equipment; sandy or dusty

places; or in a car under the sun with the doors and

windows closed.

䡵Do not bend or drop the SDHC card, or subject it to strong

impact or vibration.

䡵When formatting or erasing data using the camera

recorder, only the file administration information is

changed. The data is not completely erased from the

SDHC card. If you want to completely erase all of the

data, we recommend either using commercially available

software that is specially designed for that purpose, or by

physically destroying the SDHC card with a hammer, etc.

䡵Do not dismantle or modify the SDHC card.

䡵Do not touch the terminals with your hands or with a metal

object.

䡵Do not allow dust, dirt, water, or foreign objects to adhere

to the terminals.

䡵Do not remove the pasted labels or stick other labels or

stickers on the SDHC cards.

䡵Do not use pencils or ballpoint pens to write on the SDHC

cards. Always use oil-based pens.

䡵If you format (initialize) the SDHC card, all data recorded

on the card, including video data and setup files, will be

deleted.

䡵You are recommended to use cards that are formatted

(initialized) on this camera recorder.

●The SDHC card may be damaged if the camera recorder

is not operated correctly. Formatting (Initializing) the

SDHC card may allow it to operate correctly.

●SDHC cards that have been formatted (initialized) on

other cameras, computers or peripheral equipment may

not operate correctly. In this case, format (initialize) the

SDHC card on this camera recorder.

LCD Monitor and Viewfinder

䡵The LCD monitor and viewfinder screens are

manufactured using high-precision technology. Black

spots may appear on the LCD monitor and viewfinder

screens, or red, blue, and/or white spots may not

disappear. However, this is not a malfunction and these

spots are not recorded on the SDHC card.

䡵If you use this device continuously for a long period of

time, the characters displayed in the viewfinder may

temporarily remain on the screen. This is not recorded on

the SDHC card. They will not appear after you turn the

power off and then on again.

䡵If you use this device in a cold place, the images may

appear to lag on the screen, but this is not a malfunction.

Retained images are not recorded on the SDHC card.

䡵Do not press against the surface with force or subject it to

strong impact. Doing so may damage or break the

screens.

䡵Noise may appear in the viewfinder when switching

between the live video and playback images.

䡵Due to the characteristic of the viewfinder display device,

colors may appear on the images when you blink your

eyes. This is not a malfunction. It does not affect the

recorded images, SDI output, or component output.

Characteristic CCD Phenomena

䡵Smear and blooming

Due to the physical structure of CCDs, vertical streaking

(called “smear”) may occur when shooting an extremely bright

light source or expansion of light (called “blooming”) may

appear around it. Although the CCD employed in this device

produces very little smear or blooming, these phenomena may

still occur when shooting a bright light source.

䡵Moire or aliasing

Stripes, lines or other fine patterns may appear jagged when

they are shot.

䡵White dots

High temperatures can cause CCD sensor pixels to produce

white dots in the image. This is especially prominent when

boosting the sensitivity.

This is a characteristic of the charged-coupled device (CCD).

As far as possible, use this device under conditions where

the temperature of this device does not increase.

Copyright

Any recordings made on this camera recorder that are

●If the battery capacity drops due to repetitive shallow

charging and discharging, it may be recovered by using

up the charge completely and then fully charging the

battery again.

●If you charge the battery immediately after using while the

battery is still warm, it may not be fully charged.

●It is recommended to charge the battery in an

environment between 10 I and 35 I. The battery may

not be fully charged or the charging time may be

prolonged if charged under low temperatures (below

10 I).

You need to adjust white shading when you change the lens.

Even if white balance is adjusted in the center of the screen,

the top and bottom of the screen may not be adjusted.

In this case, green and yellow colors may appear on the

screen. This is due to the characteristic of the lens.

Correcting this phenomena is known as white shading

adjustment.

Perform this adjustment after adjusting the white balance.

1 Fill the monitor screen with a pattern box of uniform

light source or white (plain) paper shone with uniform

lighting.

2 Set the control of the camera lens as follows.

ASet the aperture to F4 or more such that the iris

achieves optimum brightness.

If the brightness is insufficient even at F4, set to the

optimum brightness by increasing the lighting.

BWhen using zoom lens, set to the center of the zoom

adjustment range.

3 Adjust the white balance of the camera recorder.

(A Page 40 [Memory A Mode (A), Memory B Mode (B)])

4 Set the chroma level of the monitor to the maximum.

5 Check the monitor screen.

● There is no need for adjustment if there is no color at the

top and bottom of the screen.

● If the top of the screen is greenish and the bottom is

reddish or vice versa, continue this adjustment.

6 Adjust the white shading.
