Professional at every level.
JVC designed the GY-HD100U as a professional camera, a fact
that’s obvious from the common-sense layout of the controls to
its exceptional balance. The GY-HD100U is a comfortable
companion on your shoulder, and perfectly suited for all types of
grip and camera support equipment as well.
All controls are located for your convenience — precisely what
you’d expect of a professional HD camera, so you can
concentrate on the shot rather than groping for buttons. The
lightweight GY-HD100U is extremely maneuverable too, so it can
get into tight spaces where high-end digital cinematography
cameras can’t go. With the GY-HD100U you’ll get the shot,
whatever challenging situation you come up against.
HDV and direct-to-edit HD recording.
Together.
The GY-HD100U uses miniDV tape
because it’s a proven, cost-effective,
reliable storage medium — important
when your project calls for high
shooting ratios with hours upon hours
of footage.
The GY-HD100U also lets you record
directly to hard disk with JVC’s optional
DR-HD100 portable direct-to-edit recorder.The DR-HD100 stores
up to 6 hours of content and is only 1.5 inches thick, so you
can mount it directly to the GY-HD100U. Connect it to
your Mac or PC editing system via Firewire, and
there is no digitizing or ingesting —
you’re instantly ready to edit. You can
record simultaneously
to hard disk and tape
for the assurance of
high-quality backup.
