Although JVC won’t be exhibiting any new products, that doesn’t mean it won’t have new technologies and features to show off as it continues to migrate its cost-effective HD systems to more-flexible and comprehensive technologies.

“For the first time, we’ll be showing our new high-resolution viewfinder with focus-assist capability,” says National Marketing Manager Craig Yanagi. NAB attendees, he adds, will get a sneak peek at a new method of storing HD material captured on JVC cameras and improvements to production/post-production workflows.

“We now have the ability to provide native-file recording in Apple’s Quicktime format, making us the fastest and most-efficient acquisition option at either 19 Mbps or 25 Mbps,” says Yanagi.

The JVC GYHD200U camera can also now support both 720p and 1080i recording to hard disk via Firewire. “With record to native Quicktime, there is no transcoding, and the file can be dragged and dropped straight into the Apple Final Cut Pro editing timeline,” he explains. “A lot of people were telling us they loved the GYHD200U, so giving it 1080i capability is important.”
