a terrific Holiday Season. As far as  
2003 goes, we want to hit the

ments. Newly-developed 12-bit  
ADC and 24-bit DSP; JVC has de-  
veloped an advanced 12-bit proc-  
camcorder that boasts advanced  
features such a 12-bit ADC (used  
only in broadcast cameras), with  
advanced 24-bit DSP for superior  
on a standard DV tape, while up to  
60 minutes of recording is possible  
on MiniDV tapes. High-quality PCM essing system--previously found  
locked audio; To complement the  
superior pictures, the GY-DV5000  
offers outstanding digital PCM  
audio. 16-bit, 48-kHz audio signals  
are locked with video signals for  
smooth editing. You can choose  
from two 16-bit 48-kHz channels or  
only in very high end broadcast  
cameras. The 12-bit ADC (analog to

any signal degradation that might  
otherwise arise from analog cir-  
cuits. In addition, the advanced  
video processing brings out natural  
details--even in extremely bright  
scenes, greatly reduces noise, and  
provides color accuracy found only  
in the most expensive field pro-

dustry standard bayonet lens  
mount; The GY-DV5000 uses a  
standard professional 1/2-inch  
bayonet lens mount, making it  
compatible with the widest selec-  
tion of broadcast and professional  
lenses. No adapters, no hidden  
costs. Just a smart way to tap the  
rich infrastructure of interchange-  
able professional lenses. Color  
matrix; A sophisticated six-axis  
color matrix circuit effectively  
compensates optics-related color  
reproduction to ensure more natu-

you won't have to "re-learn" how to

the GY-DV5000 is the ideal camera  
for any assignment. 400% wide  
dynamic range; The DV5000's  
super fast multi-stream parallel  
processing DSP creates an ultra-  
smooth gamma curve calculated  
using a true log scale algorithm. The  
result is a dynamic range of over  
400% that accurately reproduces  
fine details and  
are shown on the screen. The  
monitor tilts up 180 degrees for  
high-angled overhead shooting  
and tilts down 90 degrees for  
low-angle shots. Video-only can be

You can use this function to  
enhance or compress reproduction  
of black areas on the screen. When  
stretched, the contrast of high-  
contrast images is reduced so that  
you can capture both highlights and  
shadows. With 0.45 gamma, you  
can shoot with ambient lighting only  
(no fill light required), allowing you  
to obtain better detail reproduction  
in bright or shadowed areas. When  
compressed, the contrast is in-  
creased, making colors richer.

When activated, the LOLUX mode  
increases sensitivity with almost no

the gain by +36 dB so you can

with excellent color balance, en-  
hanced gradations, and minimal

New audio-related functions;  
When color bars are output, audio  
reference signals (test tone) are also  
output. The audio reference signal  
can be set to -12 dB or -20 dB as  
required. In addition, a "wind out"  
function is provided to minimize  
extraneous noise picked up by the  
microphone. 2.5-inch tri-mode LCD  
display; The 200,000-pixel 2.5"  
color TFT LCD monitor provides a  
high-resolution 440 TVL video im-

Larger studio viewfinders are also  
optionally available. Light link  
function; When you use an Anton  
Bauer battery (option), you can link  
light (option) ON/OFF switching to  
the recording trigger. You can also  
turn it on all the time with the  
switch if required. Time/date re-  
cording; Time and date with  
seconds resolution can be re-  
corded on the tape over color bars  
or video. Time and date are also  
overlaid over the video output.  
Other Features include: Full Auto

ratio (4:3/letter box), Detail correc-  
tion, Detail V/H balance, Skin detail  
detection, White clip select, Knee  
point select, Setup adjustment,

Smooth transition mode, Variable

gain, the Full Auto Shooting mode  
provides point-and-shoot ease of  
operation, leaving you simply to  
zoom, focus, and press the record  
button. Activating Full Auto Shooting  
puts the camera in the Auto Iris  
mode, even if the lens is set to  
manual. Automatic Video Level  
Control (ALC) is also activated, along  
with Extended Electronic Iris (EEI)  
which provide both variable gain  
and variable shutter and Full Auto  
White to follow color temperature.  
This means you can shoot con-  
tinuously from a dark to a bright and  
indoor to outdoor without changing  
gain, iris, white balance or ND filter.  
Functions and switch layout  
for professionals; In addition to the  
Full Auto Shooting to handle difficult  
or variable lighting environments,  
the GY-DV5000 is equipped with an  
array of pro-level functions that  
provide professionals with the  
creative flexibility they need. These  
include soft detail correction, Skin  
Tone Detection, fully adjustable  
gamma, Iris over/ under Black  
Stretch/Compress, Frame Mode etc.  
The GY-DV5000's switches have  
also been arranged in the way that  
most professionals are accustomed  
simplify focus and iris setting. A Gamma control, Auto black level,
