Superior Image Reproduction

D-9 Format

JVC???s D-9 format has established a reputation as a workhorse format. Broadcasters and production professionals rely on D-9 to deliver picture quality rivaling the most expensive digital formats and reliability superior to any video cassette format, analog or digital.

High-quality 4:2:2 Component COMPONENT DIGITAL

Digital Recording

With an extremely mild, perceptually lossless 3:3:1 compression ratio and a data rate of 50 Mbps, D-9 can capture even the most challenging picture in all its splendor without compression artifacts such as pixel noise, edge defects, blockiness and multi-generation degradation produced when 5:1 compression systems record difficult pictures. D-9's low compression intra-frame processing ensures beautiful high resolution pictures when cascading compression CODEC???s such as MPEG-2 mastering for DVD.

Highly efficient 50 Mbps intra-frame encoding has emerged as the standard reference for mainstream television production. To maintain superb picture quality from acquisition to production, all D-9 products use a data rate of 50 Mbps.

In 1998, a joint SMPTE/EBU task force test results show that D-9 provides;

???Quality identical to that produced by Digital Betacam

???Superior quality to that found in Beta-SP

???Better quality to 50 Mbps MPEG-2 1 frame only compression

Heavy-duty Tape Transport Mechanism with Die-cast Magnesium Chassis

The heavy-duty tape transport system of the DY-70U ensures high-quality pictures. Moreover, a die-cast magnesium chassis ensures durable, rigid support for both mechanism and electronics, while its integrated drum base improves linearity.

14-bit Digital Signal Processor

The DY-70U applies JVC???s new DSP with advanced 14-bit video processing, which brings out natural details, eliminates spot noise, and accurately reproduces dark areas.

Three High-Density 1/2-Inch CCDs

Featuring three advanced 1/2-inch interline transfer CCDs and a 1/2-inch F1.4 RGB prism, the DY-70U delivers exceptionally sharp pictures. The high- resolution DY-70U features 380,000

effective pixels (768H493V). JVC???s innovative MICRO- LENSES, which are supported by a large light shield to reduce reflections and light leakages for minimal vertical smear, ensure highly efficient light conversion with a sensitivity of F11 at 2,000 Lux.

True Digital Camcorders

The DY-70U is a fully integrated digital camcorder which captures, processes, and records only digital signals for studio-quality acquisition. The result is sharply improved picture sharpness and image quality.

600% Wide Dynamic

Range

Multi-stream parallel digital pipeline processing at 40 MHz creates an ultra-smooth gamma curve

calculated using a true log scale WIDE DYNAMIC RANGE algorithm. The result is a dynamic

range of 600% to accurately reproduce fine details and colors in areas of both shadows and highlights.

NORMAL

LOLUX 0.75 Lux

When activated, the LOLUX mode increases sensitivity with almost no increase in noise. LOLUX lets you shoot in low light conditions, so you can capture high-quality video footage with excellent color balance at just 0.75 lux illumination.

Operator Friendly Design

Compact and Weighs just 15 lbs.

The compact DY-70U weighs only 15 lbs., including lens, viewfinder, battery pack, and tape, and that weight is carefully balanced for effortless hand-held shooting.

Die-cast Magnesium Body

The DY-70U camcorder features a die-cast magnesium body and frame, which offers the benefits of exceptionally low weight, but with improved rigidity and durability for professional use. It is also

ergonomically engineered for maximum operator comfort and utility. It also incorporates engineering innovations which sharply reduce drum noise for quiet operation.

Full Auto Shooting

The Full Auto Shooting Mode provides point-and-shoot ease of operation, leaving the operator simply to zoom, focus, and press the record button. Activating the Full Auto Shooting sets the camera to the Auto Iris Mode, even if the lens is set to manual. Also activated is Automatic Video Level Control (ALC), along with Extended Electronic Iris

Other Professional Features

D-9 Video Tape

The DY-70U captures and stores up to 124 minutes of high- resolution on a high-

density 1/2-inch tape which employs an advanced metal- particle formulation. Tape running speed is 57.8 mm/s with a long recording time of 124 minutes. No other digital media offers the length of record/playback

time and durability of D-9 video cassettes.

Black Stretch/Black Compress

The Black Stretch/Black Compress function enhances or compresses reproduction of black areas on the screen.

Highlight Chroma Processing

The DY-70U has built-in Highlight Chroma Processing to maintain color saturation in highlights. The result is natural color reproduction even in bright highlight portions of the picture.

Detail Correction

A user control is provided to switch the mixture of in-band and out-band correction, to adjust the picture sharpness and produce a pleasing picture.

Tape/Battery Remaining Indicator

The Tape/Battery Remaining Indicator means you always know exactly how much tape and battery power remains, so that you can change tape and battery before it is too late!

Built-in Phantom Microphone Power

Phantom power can be supplied to optional microphones through XLR connectors and switched off to each channel when not in use.

Time Code Reader/Generator and Time

Date Generator

Two SMPTE-standard time code generators digitally record independent time code streams in the sub-code area. The main time code generator can be preset by the operator or slave-locked to an existing time code on the tape, or to an external master time code generator for shooting with more than one camera. The secondary time code automatically records time code data corresponding to date and time of day. D-9 editing decks can accurately read both time codes at any speed.

Continuous Auto Black (CAB)

JVC???s Continuous Auto Black (CAB) circuit continually corrects black balance by sampling a CCD???s optical black. CAB assures perfect black balance in a changing environment without the operator having to interrupt shooting.

Automatic Level Control (ALC)

ALC with Extended Electronic Iris allows continuous automatic shooting in all light levels, without the operator having to switch gain setting or an ND filter.

Variable Scan View

D-9 CAMCORDER DY-70U

High-quality Audio Reproduction

4-channel PCM Audio

The DY-70U has four independently editable, high-quality, 16-bit, 48 kHz sampling digital audio channels, with a dynamic range of more than 80 dB. Audio levels for CH1 and CH2 may be displayed on the viewfinder; their respective controls are situated up front within easy reach of the operator. Each channel may be selectively operated in the Auto Mode where a switchable limiter compressor maintains high quality automatic level control.

The Variable Scan View function lets you capture flicker- free footage of a video or data display screen that has a different scan speed than the camera. The DY-70U has a scan speed of 60.1 Hz to 2084.6 Hz.

Built-in Monitoring

Speaker

A side-mounted speaker lets you monitor audio in playback and record modes without headphones. And the warning alarm are also output through the speaker.
