Description:

The JVC GY-HD250U Professional HDV Camcorder is the ultimate version of JVCs ProHD camera, featuring HD-SDI, Timecode and Genlock connections. The initial version, the GY-HD100U was the first HDV camera to record true progressive images at 24 frames a second while maintaining a professional style ENG form factor. All previous features have been included in this model along with a wide array of extras that will increase overall usability.

One of the most notable improvements is the capability of recording 60 full progressive frames per second. Other features include a 14-bit A/D converter for increased picture quality, an enhanced DSP, an Anton Bauer Gold-Mount battery plate, enhanced cinema gammas for film-outs, and a built-in image flip function. Additionally, the camera can be converted into a studio camera by using the optional KA-D250U studio adapter.

The GY-HD250U is a direct result of extensive research through user based feedback and is a testament to JVCs commitment to providing the most complete video cameras for professionals.

Features:

• MPEG-2 Based Encoding
 JVC is one of the original developers of the MPEG-2 compression system. MPEG-2 is an interframe encoding system that combines multiple frames of digital picture data into a group of pictures (GOP). It then removes redundant information from the GOP resulting in far greater efficiency than with intraframe systems, such as DV, that compress every frame separately. JVC pioneered high definition MPEG-2 recording with its D-VHS format used by major motion picture studios for screening and playback of dailies. JVCs advanced MPEG-2 codecs are used by major television networks and satellite providers. In the GY-HD250U JVC has utilized a highly efficient MPEG-2 codec that compresses the full HD resolution without downsizing the image.
 
• 14-Bit Analog to Digital Converter
 The new 14-bit A/D converter produces higher quality images, producing more accurate levels of color, shadow and highlights.
 
• 24-Frame Cine-Style Capture and Recording
 Twenty-four frames per second progressive acquisition produces recorded images that have a more polished, film-like appearance than typical interlaced video cameras. Virtually all high end digital cinematography cameras utilize the 24P system. The GY-HD250U uses three 1/3" native high definition CCDs that produce a more refined HD look without scaling. Since the native 24-frame material is recorded to tape, it is possible to transfer the recordings to film without frame rate conversion. Time code is recorded in the 24P mode, so recordings made with the GY-HD250U can be edited with film based and high end digital systems with ease.
 
• 60-Frame Full Progressive Recording
 Until now the preeminent capture technique for broadcast sports, 720p/60, has not been available in the HDV format. The GY-HD250U ushers in a new era of HDV recording, providing users with the ultimate sports and news recording tool. Capture full-frame goodness 60 times per second for glass-smooth action shots.
 
• PAL-Compatible
 The GY-HD250U can output both 25p and 50p for PAL compatible recording. This added multi-regional flexibility makes the camera highly versatile in a wide variety of applications.
 
• Increased Audio Control
 Audio capability has been increased with an audio limiter in manual mode, a 13-segment audio level indicator along with manual audio control within full auto shooting mode (FAS). Full auto mode can be very helpful in situations such as news gathering, where time management is critical. These extra audio controls give operators more flexibility when shooting in hostile shooting conditions.
 
• Interchangeable Bayonet Lens
 The GY-HD250U includes a bayonet mount 16x Servo Fujinon lens. Operation is the same as with all professional lenses with mechanical control of focus, zoom and iris functions. The built-in servo zoom and iris functions can also be used if desired. JVC has developed and patented a focus assist function that highlights detail in the viewfinder to aid with critical detail focusing.
 
• Extensive User-Adjustable Video Looks
 Creating a true cinematic look involves more than just recording at 24 frames per second. The cameras gamma, detail and black levels can be adjusted to the users preference. When combined with the correct lens filters and lighting techniques, film like performance can be obtained thats tailored to the mood of the scene. There is even a skin tone detection feature that automatically reduces the amount of enhancement in facial areas so that your subjects will not have a wrinkled, television-like appearance. All custom settings can be stored on an inexpensive SD memory card and transferred to another camera if desired.
 
• Output Choices
 The user can chose between letterbox, squeeze and sidecut when outputting through the composite connection. The camera can also output 1080i/60 from any 720p/60 recorded signal through its component connection in real time!
 
• Uncompressed HD-SDI 
 The GY-HD250U has all the connectors that professionals have been missing in other low-cost HDTV camcorders. For the ultimate in video transfers, this camera has an uncompressed HD-SDI connector. The serial digital BNC connector provides unparalleled control and image clarity, completely bypassing HDV compression.
 
• Time Code 
 The camera is equipped with true SMPTE time code input and output. Time code from the camcorder can be sent to other recording devices (cameras, VTRs) so they are all recording with the same clock.
 
• Genlock Synchronization 
 Multi-camera shoots with the GY-HD250U is no problem since the camcorder has Genlock sync. This feature allows many devices including cameras, VTRs and switchers to synchronize. The combined ability between Genlock and the GY-HD250Us unique optional characteristics make the camera ideal for small, budget conscious studios.

Pro Video Tripods

Tip: Have you ever returned from a trip thinking you had taken some great shots? But, upon review of your prints you were disappointed to discover that some of them, especially those shot indoors or at night or in other dark places, came out blurry, looking like someone was shaking the camera when you took the picture? That is a very common problem called “Camera Shake” and every year it destroys millions of photos that could have been wonderful. “Camera Shake” is caused when there isn’t enough light for the camera to set a fast shutter speed. Your camera’s shutter opens and has to stay open for up to several seconds for enough light to hit the film to make an image. The problem: most people cannot hold a camera perfectly still for more than a small fraction of a second. The blurry image you see is caused by the camera moving while the shutter is open, and it happens to everyone. To avoid “Camera Shake” and get a clear sharp picture in low light, the camera must be attached to something so it will not move at all. That is where a tripod comes in. Mount the camera to the tripod and it will not move. Also, use the camera’s self-timer or a cable release so that you are not touching the camera when the picture is taken. Do this, and you will eliminate “Camera Shake” and get the great clear pictures you were expecting.
