A valuable addition to any home or professional editing suite,
JVC’s dual decks integrate a high-quality MiniDV deck and Super
VHS deck in a single unit, bridging the gap between DV and
VHS to offer unprecedented video editing, dubbing and playback
flexibility. As well as allowing you to record and enjoy television
programming in digital or analogue formats, these decks provide
the simplest way for you to dub DV masters to VHS or S-VHS, or
to edit directly from DV to VHS.
The ideal editing solution, JVC’s
dual-decks combine MiniDV and
VHS in a single unit
Streamlined MiniDV playback
The integrated MiniDV deck extends the flexibility of your
multimedia capabilities. Playing back your MiniDV recordings is
as simple as inserting a MiniDV cassette into the MiniDV slot, for
instant viewing on TV without connecting your MiniDV camera.
Innovative JVC technologies deliver
outstanding picture quality
❏
MiniDV Quality & Performance
The MiniDV format shrinks the superior quality and versatility of
digital video into a matchbox-size cassette. Broadcast-level quality
is achieved with MiniDV’s inherent high horizontal resolution (500
lines) and a colour bandwidth 3 times that of analogue video.
❏
S-VHS Quality & Performance
These models incorporate JVC’s DigiPure Technology to deliver
top-of-the-line S-VHS quality characterised by sharp image
contours and vivid colours. DigiPure Technology is, in fact, a group
of advanced digital image processing technologies perfected by
JVC. They include Digital Wide TBC (Time Base Corrector) which
removes "jitter" from fluctuating video signals, to deliver stable
pictures even with old tapes, for improved playback quality. The
3-Dimensional Digital Circuit incorporating 2MB of Frame Memory
is an underlying component for the following Digipure technologies.
Precision 3-D Colour Circuit ensures clear colour separation
without bleeding, to sharpen the edges of images, especially with
red colours. Digital 3-D YNR/CNR removes fine dust-like noise
(YNR) and uneven colour noise (CNR), improving the S/N ratio by
approximately 3 dB. In addition, Digital 3R Picture System applies
edge correction to the luminance signal to enhance detail and
improve the
chrominance
signal’s transient
characteristics.
Dubbing Possibilities
❏
One-touch Dubbing
By virtue of the 2-in-1 design, one-touch dubbing is enabled in
either direction — from DV-to-S-VHS or S-VHS-to-DV. Push the
one-touch dubbing button on the front panel for two seconds and
it synchronises the two decks, rewinds both
tapes to the start, and begins recording.
❏
Versatile Dubbing Options
Video insert and audio dubbing is possible on either deck for
increased post-recording options. For superior sound, high-quality
32KHz audio dubbing is available with the MiniDV deck. The
S-VHS deck’s Flying Erase Head enables insert editing of new
pictures without affecting the original audio track, and with no
noticeable distortion at the transition points.
❏
Advanced Connectivity
Both units are equipped with a DV in/out
terminal that enables direct loss-less
recording to/from the MiniDV format, as
