JVC puts high quality up front, at the
lens. With almost no variance in
brightness from F1.8 at full wide to
F1.9 at full telephoto, it is able to offer
the fundamental image-gathering
performance a Hi-Def system requires.
High-precision multi-coated all glass
optics ensure low-distortion, ghost-free
images with high peripheral resolution
and brightness, as well as high edge-to-

edge color purity across the entire zoom
range. Demanding Hi-Def images need
to be rock solid, so performance is
supported by on-demand Optical Image
Stabilization — Optical so as to avoid
any loss of resolution — and enthusiasts
can take full control with manual
focusing and zoom rings on the lens
barrel. It's a crystal clear entry point for
breathtaking Hi-Def images.
The "retina" of this camera's eye is a
powerful combination of a 1.18
Megapixel Progressive Scan CCD and
JVC's patented progressive digital filter
technology, both the result of JVC's
years of research in the field.
Designed for a true 16:9 pixel wide array
of 1280 720 (for moving images) and
4:3 1280 960 (for stills), and
progressive scanning to sample the
entire picture at once, this CCD has an
uncanny ability to capture detailed
images without interline motion blur
resulting from interlace scanning.
Hybrid Complementary-Primary Digital Filter
Hi-Def color purity and discrete
reproduction allows you to see full detail
without being obscured by low-
resolution color smearing. The Hi-Def
standard colorimetric range takes in
more colors than NTSC as well. Things
simply not possible to see with regular
TV, like fine designs on a jersey, are
clearly visible. Pictures have texture!
What matters is that the GR-HD1 lets
you record, preserve and playback high
quality 700/650 Horizontal/Vertical-line
resolution (close to the achievable limit of
the format) component Hi-Def video in a
reasonable price range.
To those who still believe that the
number of CCDs is the factor in
determining picture quality, think again:
JVC's GR-HD1 is ready to challenge and
overwhelm preconceptions.
