Professional functions
Compact shoulder mount design
JVC's ProHD camcorders are the only professional HD camcorders to
feature a compact shoulder mount design. Like its predecessors, the
GY-HD250 offers excellent mobility and enhanced usability, while its
flexible range of ergonomic adjustments ensures that camera operators,
regardless of stature or physique, can support the camcorder steadily
and, above all, comfortably.
Professional functions and switch layout
In addition to the Full Auto Shooting to handle difficult or variable
lighting environments, the GY-HD250 is equipped with an array of
functions that give professionals creative flexibility. These include,
amongst others, zebra, gain, white balance and full shutter control.
Also, the GY-HD250's switches have been positioned where
professional camera operators can expect them. This helps make
shooting more intuitive, precise, easy, and error-free, because the
learning process is minimized dramatically, making the GY-HD250 the
ideal camera for any assignment.
Detachable 230,000-pixel LCD
color viewfinder
The viewfinder's eyepiece can be
moved backwards and forwards and
can also be adjusted laterally for left
or right eye shooting, enabling it to fit
the operator comfortably. JVC's own
proprietary and patented Focus
Assist control ensures fast and easy
focusing. To make focusing even
easier, a black and white mode is
available. Stronger contrast and
reduced color noise make
visualization and composition easier
in this mode and put less strain on your eyes so you can shoot for
longer periods. You can also keep using the viewfinder even when using
the LCD display. When not required, the viewfinder may be detached.
3.5" LCD display panel*
This 250,000-pixel 3.5" color TFT LCD monitor provides a high-
resolution image during shooting and playback. JVC's own developed
Focus Assist control (see this page) ensures fast and easy focusing. A
push button selects three display
modes:
1. Video only
2. Video images with text information
overlay including time, status, mode
and other data are shown on the
screen.
3. Only information such as time,
status, mode, time code, audio
levels and other data is shown on
the screen. When the LCD display
panel is in this mode, the viewfinder
can also be used.
Various audio-related functions
When color bars are output, an audio reference level (test tone) can
also be output if required. This is set via the menu. The audio reference
level can be set at -12 dB or -20 dB as required. To minimize
extraneous noise picked up by the microphone, a "wind cut" function
is provided.
Genlock
This camcorder has genlock input capability for synchronization and
time code input/output, making multi-camera shooting possible.
For synchronization, BB or VBS signals (SD) and HD tri-level sync
signals (HD) are available to lock to various components, including
external audio recorders, other cameras and switchers. In addition, H
Phase (HD/SD) and SC Phase (SD only) can be adjusted
