KY-19
DOCKABLE CAMERAS
68
1/2-inch 3-CCD Dockable Video Camera
At the top of its class, the KY-19 sets the standard for 1/2˝ dockable
cameras. Features stunning resolution of 750 lines high sensitivity
and outstanding 62 dB S/N ratio. But most important, it delivers
crisp, clear pictures even when the light fades. Equipped with JVC’s
extraordinary LoLux mode, the KY-19 can capture natural color and
well-balanced contrast under incredibly low illumination. In addi-
tion to superb pictures, it offers advanced features like Multi-Zone
Iris, Color Matrix Circuit, RS-232 control, SMPTE Color Bars
and extensive docking capabilities. With its lightweight, ergonom-
ic design, low power consumption and ease of use, the KY-19 is
tops — on the field or in the studio.
■ Three advanced 1/2˝ CCDs with
380,000 pixels deliver high resolution
(750 lines) smear-free pictures. Pixels are
also maximized for low light sensitivity to
give excellent color reproduction in light
as low as 2 lux (1/5 foot candle).
■ Low-Noise Amplifier and reduced signal
detection capacitance provide quiet 62 dB
signal-to-noise ratio pictures.
■ Advanced Memory System stores camera
settings for various shooting conditions,
which can then be customized by a simple
menu selection.
■ Offers RS-232 computer remote control.
Two cables are available: The VC-P891
(9-pin) for PC and the VC-P892 (8-pin)
for Macintosh.
■ The supplied VF-P115 1.5˝ viewfinder
offers 600 lines of resolution. Status sys-
tem displays audio levels, accumulated or
remaining recording time and VTR oper-
ation, as well as battery voltage and camera
setup. Video levels are displayed with a
“Zebra Pattern” indicator. Safety zones
with center marker are provided, as well,
as are SMPTE Color Bars.
■ Variable Scan function allows flicker-free
shooting of computer monitors. Shutter
speeds can be set from 1/60.1 to 1/2084.6
of a second in 255 increments to precisely
match the scan rate of the computer mon-
itor. Also has variable high speed shutter
from 1/60 to 1/2000 of a second.

In the Full Auto Shooting mode, you only have to zoom, focus, and press the trigger. All other
parameters are controlled automatically for point-and-shoot ease of operation, with superb
picture quality.
Full Time Auto White: Full Time Auto White function analyzes the color temperature of the
light source and continuously corrects for color temperature changes. Follow a subject, moving
from incandescent to fluorescent to outdoor lighting without having to stop and white balance
for each change. In addition, there are two automatic white balance settings, as well as a preset
white balance (3200K).
Automatic Level Control (ALC) Extended Electronic Iris (EEI):
ALC mode allows continu-
ous automatic shooting in all light levels, without having to suddenly switch Gain setting or
insert an ND filter. For example, when shooting dark areas, after the iris has opened fully, Gain
will automatically increase just enough to achieve proper video level. Then, when moving out-
doors, the Extended Electronic Iris is engaged. This provides a continuously variable shutter,
eliminating the need for an ND filter. The result is continuous automatic shooting from dark to
bright without interruption. The Enhanced ALC also features an Aperture Priority mode. Just set
the iris manually for the desired depth of focus, and the ALC circuit will automatically achieve
the correct video level.
Full Auto Shooting—Just Point and Shoot
■ Color matrix circuit assures accurate color
reproduction.
■ Multi Zone Iris weighting system with
Automatic Peak/Average Detection gives
preference to objects in the center and
lower portions of the picture. Automatic
Peak/Average Detection provides intelli-
gence to ignore unusual objects, such as
bright lights, to extend the accuracy of
Auto Iris control.
■ Auto Knee circuitry extends a scenes light
to dark dynamic range without overexpo-
sure. As a result, optimum dynamic range
is automatically maintained for accurate
color reproduction, even in high contrast
situations.
■ Black Paint Control function permits you
to control Black Paint in combination with
JVC’s extensive line of remote control panels.
