JVC GR-DVA1U - Camcorder - 460 Kpix - optical zoom: 16 x - Mini DV - black, metallic silver

Product Details

This state-of-the-art camcorder offers the most advanced imaging and sound technology available in camcorders today, complemented with high-value features such as a powerful 160x Super Digital Zoom and wide selection of digital effects and scene transitions that will impress even the most demanding videographers. Equally amazing is all of this is available in a simple-to-use camcorder that anyone can enjoy. One of the most impressive aspects about this new camcorder is the picture quality. High-resolution pictures are attained through 4: 1: 1 digital component recording using the DV format (a purely digital format capable of over 500 lines of horizontal resolution). Colors are dazzling since DV provides them with approximately 3 times the bandwidth of conventional video. The GR-DVA1 offers excellent audio quality as well. A 16-bit PCM digital stereo recording system delivers superb sound that actually exceeds CD quality, and offers a choice of 2-channel (16-bit linear, 48kHz sampling) and 4-channel (12-bit non-linear, 32kHz sampling) recording. The superior picture quality of the DV format makes it ideal for the advanced imaging capabilities made possible by digital technology. So the optical 16x zoom, with its bright F1.6 lens, can be multiplied tenfold using digital processing to deliver awesome 160x digital zoom magnification for extra zooming power on demand. To ensure that the digitally zoomed pictures are smooth and clear, Spline Interpolation technology is used to smooth image contours and minimize jagged edges. Further assurance of stable, high-quality pictures is provided by JVC's exclusive Picture Stabilizer that recognizes the user's unique camera-shake characteristics to eliminate shaky pictures more effectively even in long zoom shots. You can freeze a scene with the option of adding a white border or drop shadow to the shot. Single 4- or 9-frame multiscreen shots are available. Motor Drive mode lets you shoot serial snapshots in rapid succession. JVC has also provided a wide selection of digital effects and scene transitions that make it much easier for users to add a professional "feel" to their videos. With creative digital effects such as Black & White, Sepia, Classic Film, Strobe, Cinema, Twilight, Slow Shutter and Hi-Speed Shutter, users can create the visual look they want. By using the many available digital scene transitions, such as Mosaic Fader, Shutter Wipe, Slide Wipe, Door Wipe, Corner Wipe, Window Wipe or Dissolve, users can produce a great-looking video program with a smooth progression. More conventional transitions like White Fader, Black Fader, and Black-and-White Fader are also available.
