JVC unveiled on the show floor, the MR-HD200U. The camera combines solid state memory and long length hard disk recording. The MR-HD200U is a camera-mounted media recorder that attaches directly to any of JVC’s ProHD 200 Series camcorders. The MR-HD200U records on Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) solid state memory.

“ SDHC memory is less then Betacam,” says Craig Yanagi, National Marketing Manager, Creation Products, JVC Professional Products Company. The media can store up to an hour in both 1080i and 720p. “The card is a 16GB SDHC, and by the end of the calendar year it could be 32 GB,” adds Yanagi.

The MR-HD200U recorder records natively. “The process of native recording requires no transcoding, and no file conversion,” says Yanagi.

The MR-HD200U can record natively multiple formats such as QuickTime, MPEG2, or .m2t.   The MR-HD200U can easily be detached. Avid users can natively ingest HD form JVC cameras. Editing can be quick and efficient.   “Avid supports JVC ProHD in Avid’s Media Composer and Avid’s Symphony,” says Yanagi.   JVC ProHD Native File Based Workflow will lead JVC throughout 2008.
