Increments
Equipped with JVC’s exclusive LoLux technology, the KY-19 lets you capture scenes
that were previously impossible, due to insufficient lighting. Turn LoLux on, and the
CCDs are maximized for low light sensitivity, equivalent to an electronic Gain of +24
dB. Enhancement by a JVC pixel readout system then provides an additional +6 dB
of Gain. Together, these circuits provide a total of +30 dB Gain without the noise and
picture degradation normally associated with this much Gain. Excellent color balance is
maintained, even down to 2 lux illumination.
LoLux = Ultra High Sensitivity
Normal Maximum Gain.....+18 dB
Gain Boost............................+6 dB
Dual Pixel Readout Process....+6 dB

■ For studio applications, there are two camera control units: 
The economical RM-P200 for most applications, or the RM-P300,
where longer distance (820´) or more control functions are
required. A small, hand-held control panel, the RM-LP80 is avail-
able for simple field productions or remote copystand applications.
For long distance field productions up to 5000´, JVC offers a triax
control system (RM-P270).
■ 
To ensure maximum mobility in one-man ENG and EFP appli-
cations, the KY-19 is designed to dock directly with the BR-
S422 S-VHS dockable recorder, as well as with the BR-D10 DV
digital docking recorder. Optional adapters allow docking with
Sony PVV-3 and BVV-5 Betacam SP dockable recorders.
