Conveniences
■ Gamma Point and Black Paint adjust-
ment for matching cameras.
■ CCD Blemish Correction stores blemish
position data in memory, and compen-
sates digitally in real-time.
■ 4-Point Star Filter for dramatic effects
■ Time/Date and Character Generator
■ Dual zebra level selection of 100% or
70-80% and SMPTE Color Bars.
■ 48v phantom microphone power
■ Audio level control conveniently
located in front, by operator’s left hand
■ Programmable battery alarm level
■ Monitor output with characters On/Off
■ Multiple Gain modes:
3/0/6/9/12/18/ALC/LoLux/Super LoLux
■ Genlock input built into the camera
heads
■ RS-232 control via Macintosh or PC
■ Two camera settings plus a default mode
for various shooting conditions can be
stored in memory. Settings are cus-
tomized via menu.
■ Variable Scan function allows flicker-free
shooting of computer monitors. Shutter
speeds can be set from 1/60.5 to 1/196.7
of a second in 255 increments to precise-
ly match the a monitor’s scan rate. Also
features variable high speed shutter from
1/60 to 1/2000 of a second.
■ Sophisticated detection methods provide
very accurate Auto Iris exposure under a
variety of shooting conditions. They use
a Multi Zone Iris weighting system with
Auto Peak/Average Detection, giving
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.
■ Ergonomically designed for easy, uncom-
plicated operation. Overall balance is
perfect, with all controls optimally locat-
ed for ease of use. Controls and menu
settings are simple to set up for both
advanced and commonly used features.
Full Auto Shooting
Even though functions like DNR, Shutter
Control, Iris modes, Variable Scan, Zebra,
Black Stretch and Accu-Focus are menu-
free, the cameras still offer a Full Auto
Shooting mode – just zoom and focus. All
other parameters are automatically con-
trolled for point-and-shoot ease with superb
picture quality. And focusing is easier than
ever. Accu-Focus feature momentarily
decreases depth-of-field, enabling critical
focus to be achieved instantly.
Black Stretch/Compress
One-touch function gives you either a fast,
enhanced reproduction of shaded areas
(Black Stretch) or a contrasty look (Black
Compression).
Full Time Auto White
Analyzes the light source and continuously
corrects for color temperature changes.
Follow a subject from indoor to outdoor
lighting without having to stop and white
balance. They have three additional white
balance memory settings: Auto 1/2 and
3200K. There is also a Continuous Auto
Black circuit for continuous black balance.
ALC and EEI
ALC (Automatic Level Control) and EEI
(Extended Electronic Iris) for continuous
shooting in all light levels, without having
to suddenly switch Gain settings or insert an
ND filter. ALC also has an Aperture Priority
mode. Set the iris for the desired depth of
focus, and ALC does the rest.
Operating 6

⁄2 F-stops below f/1.4, JVC’s incredible Super LoLux technology lets you shoot in
light as low as 0.35 lux with minimal noise. Not only is
this the lowest level ever achieved by a camera, it is also
a level of darkness where the KY-D29/D29W can see
better than the naked eye. This extraordinary capability
is made possible by utilizing dual pixel readout technol-
ogy (+6 dB Gain without adding noise), while at the
same time doubling the pixel readout integration time
to 1/30 of a second, effectively doubling the signal level
for another 6 dB. Together, these circuits provide a total gain-up of +39 dB without the noise
and picture degradation normally associated with this much gain.
Normal Maximum Gain 27dB

Dual Pixel Readout 6dB

Double Integration Time 6dB

Super LoLux
Smooth Transition Mode
This mode ensures a smooth transition with no jump in color or light level taking place
when manually changing Gain or white balance settings.
■ Skin Tone Detail function lets you soften
the facial area by sampling an area with
the desired skin tone and applying that
to the entire face. Sharpness is main-
tained, even while digital “make-up” is
applied.
■ Six-axis Color Matrix circuit compensates
for optics-related color reproduction.
User-adjustable, the color matrix adds
significantly to your ability to create
true-to-life color tones.
■ The KY-D29W with the VF-P116W
viewfinder has an Auto Viewfinder
adjustment feature that automatically dis-
plays the selected aspect ratio (16:9 or
4:3), letting you see an accurate represen-
tation of a scene as it will appear on a
monitor. You can also display the image
in the entire field of the viewfinder to
reduce eye strain. Large tally lamps are
also easy to see from a wide viewing
angle.
Host of Shooting Conveniences
To assist you in achieving the best quality footage, a host of automatic shooting and expo-
sure features are incorporated for those situations when events move so quickly that you are
prevented from making any settings whatsoever.
