JVC GY-DV5000U Quick Manual page 3

Over the past few years, the convenience and quality of DV has transformed the face of video production. But is it really the right
choice for professionals? The answer is a resounding yes. JVC's three new Professional DV models --------- the
GY-DV5000 camcorder, the BR-DV6000 recorder and the BR-DV3000 compact recorder ----- not only provide a full set of
professional features and functions, they also offer unprecedented flexibility with a built-in Standard DV/Mini DV-compatible
mechanism and optional network streaming capability (except for the BR-DV3000).
For image acquisition, there's the GY-DV5000. The follow-up to the enormously popular GY-DV500, the GY-DV5000 is a high-
performance 1/2" 3-CCD Professional DV camcorder which includes advanced features such as a 12-bit ADC (used only in
broadcast cameras), a 12-bit camera digital signal processor for superior, high-resolution images, and professional functions
including bayonet lens mount, DV interface and LOLUX mode. More than just a successor to the GY-DV500, the all-new
GY-DV5000 sets a whole new standard in performance and versatility with features like high resolution of 800 TVL, a Standard
DV/Mini DV compatible mechanism, high sensitivity of F13 at 2000 lx, external light trigger function, optional network connectivity,
tri-mode 2.5-inch LCD display and more.
Edit your DV footage on the BR-DV6000. This Professional DV editing recorder's comprehensive set of interfaces allows it to work
seamlessly with most video formats and integrate easily in a non-linear editing system environment. For archiving and basic NLE
spooling, the compact, stylish BR-DV3000 provides a simple solution that can be installed horizontally or vertically.
Together, these three models provide a complete Professional DV solution that's ideal for broadcasters, CATV or high end
production, yet within easy reach of any professional.
