Defining the future of
professional video
with ProHD
With the introduction of JVC's ProHD, the promise of digital
technology has finally been fulfilled. Surprisingly affordable,
impressively professional, and remarkably compact, ProHD
embraces the HDV format to deliver a complete high-definition
solution that has been designed to meet the needs of today's
most demanding professionals, while retaining the ability to
adapt to future requirements.
Since the launch of D9 in 1996 and Professional DV in 1999, JVC
has continued to develop and diversify its digital video offerings
in response to the rapidly changing environment of visual
communications and production. The evolution of JVC's range
of digital cameras and recorders continues with the introduction
of advanced features and varied storage options, including full-
size DV tape and hard disk drives.
Now with the production and delivery of video content starting
to shift to high definition, JVC has combined its expertise in
camera, encoding and storage technologies to create an
affordable HD solution. JVC's ProHD system,
adopting the HDV format, utilises widely available
non-proprietary technologies such as MPEG-2
compression, DV recording media
and conventional hard disk drives.
Based on input from leading end users,
JVC has developed a system with
the most sought-after professional features
and performance. Noteworthy ProHD features
include full HD progressive
scanning, real 24p,
and a dual recording
system using tape
& HDD. As ProHD
evolves, it will include
solid state recording
media. Designed and
built for professionals,
ProHD is the fulfillment
of the digital promise,
offering true high definition
performance in a compact,
affordable system.
The latest addition to the ProHD
system is the GY-HD251, a compact
studio-capable shoulder camcorder
featuring full-frame 50p recording
for smooth, continuous images.
