JVC’s ProHD GY-HD100U
Progressive HD. The look and feel of film.
JVC’s GY-HD100U HD camcorder uses progressive scan at
24 frames per second (24p) for one simple reason: From image
capture to display, 24p produces results that more closely resemble
the look of film than interlaced scanning. That’s why high-end
digital cinema cameras have always used progressive scan.
The three CCDs in the GY-HD100U capture square pixels with full
HD 1280 x 720 resolution. The camera needs no interpolation or
upscaling to achieve real HD quality because every frame contains
a complete, high-definition progressive image, just as film cameras
do.The GY-HD100U records images on HDV tape or hard disk and
sends them to the editing system exactly
as they were captured, in 1280 x 720
resolution. The result is a rich,
sharp picture that’s true to
your original intent... and
closer to the look of film.
The future of affordable, high-definition
digital cinematography. Here today.
Creating high-definition productions with the look and feel of film
requires a camera that captures images with exceptional quality,
gives the cinematographer extensive control over the most subtle
nuances of the shot, and offers the freedom to choose the best
lens for each situation. Until now, you had to sacrifice at least one
of these requirements unless cost was no object. JVC’s ProHD
GY-HD100U camcorder changes all that, with true 24p
progressive scanning, the ability to use lenses ranging from
general-purpose to 35-mm primes, and the comprehensive
control and balance that serious HD cinematographers demand.
