Low Power Consumption - JVC GY-DV500E Brochure & Specs

Compact mechanism
Weighs only 5 kg or
less when fully
loaded
Because it uses MiniDV tapes,
the GY-DV500E is able to pack
a lot of performance into a very
compact body that weighs only 5 kg
including lens, viewfinder, battery pack
and tape. Use of a DC-DC power
supply trims the unit's dimensions still
further.
Functions and switch layout
for "Real" professionals
Stretch/Compress, etc. The GY-DV500E's switches have
also been arranged in the way that most professionals
are accustomed to, making operation more intuitive,
precise, easy, and error-free. Since you won't have to
"re-learn" how to use this camcorder all over again, the
GY-DV500E is the ideal camera for any assignment.
Thanks to the use of
compact MiniDV
tapes, we were able
to develop a small,
lightweight, robust,
professional
mechanism.
In addition to the Full Auto
Shooting mode — ideal
for beginners and
emergency situations, the
GY-DV500E is equipped
with an array of pro-level
functions that provide
professionals with the
creative flexibility they
need. These include
Continuous Auto Black
(CAB), Automatic Level
Control (ALC), Black
Diecast magnesium body
The diecast magnesium body also contributes to this
unit's reduced weight and offers improved rigidity and
durability. It's built to perform in the not-so-gentle world
of professional image acquisition.

Low power consumption

The main unit only consumes 20
watts or less, making a
heavy and cumbersome
large-capacity
battery pack
unnecessary.
1/2" bayonet lens mount
The GY-DV500U uses a
standard professional 1/2"
bayonet lens mount, making it
compatible with the widest
selection of broadcast and
professional lenses. No
adapters, no hidden costs. Just
a smart way to tap the rich
infrastructure of interchangeable
professional lenses.
Balanced, reliable design
The weight is carefully balanced for ease of use in an
ENG environment and the mechanism has been
specially designed to assure the reliable and stable
shooting performance that professionals need.
