COMPACT SHOULDER CAMCORDER
GY-HD250
ProHD — Concept of
JVC’s Affordable
HD Solution
1. HDV Full Progressive Scanning (720p)
Industry leading professionals told us that they wanted a full-
frame progressive scanning system that would shoot and
record the highest quality moving continuous images. ProHD
uses the 720/60p progressive HDV format and produces crisp,
native HD images which perfectly match today’s digital
displays and which can be converted easily, without
degradation, to interlaced pictures.
2. Time Code
As a professional system, ProHD products include the facility
to record and display time code. Convenient menu operation
makes it easy to preset time code at the beginning of a tape.
Simply select REC RUN or re-generation mode. User bits are
also available.
3. Highly efficient video compression
To provide the highest quality HD recording, JVC uses the
broadcast industry standard MPEG-2 Main Profile at H-14.
Offering far greater efficiency than frame-bound systems,
ProHD records at data rates at or above commercial broadcast
rates. Recent advancements in non-linear editing have made it
possible to edit ProHD on virtually all popular Non-Linear
systems. Direct
digital transfers through IEEE 1394 ensure there is no loss in
quality throughout the transfer process.
4. Dual recording system
Designed to utilize both DV tape and optional hard disk drives,
ProHD offers the ultimate in media versatility, maximizing
productivity with efficient, economical editing and low-cost
archiving. Now you can safely archive the original tape
cassette and then plug the hard disk straight into your NLE.
Editing can start right away — no need to make dubs or
transfer data.
5. Real 24p
With ProHD, the dream of creating HD video with the essence
of film has at last been realized. By capturing and recording at
the film frame rate of 24fps, and offering extensive user
configurable settings such as exposure, gamma and detail,
ProHD becomes an ideal tool for creative expression. In
addition, native 24p editing is now possible in HD at a low bit
rate of 19Mbps, enabling the creation of EDLs (Edit Decision
Lists) of 24 frame material with compatible Non-Linear Editing
software. For the ultimate expression on the big screen, 24
frame progressive recordings can be transferred easily to 16
mm or 35 mm film.

Advantages of ProHD
Ⅲ Progressive HDV-compatible support
1.HDV format
To maximize picture quality and performance from input to
output, JVC employs the HDV 720 progressive system.
Progressive HDV’s resolution of 1280 x 720 is the same as the
native resolution of most HD display devices in use today
(LCD, plasma, DLP, D-ILA). HDV 720p is thus natively
compatible in terms of both resolution and scanning system.
HDV is a video format
designed to enable the
recording of high definition
MPEG-2 video on standard
DV media (DV or MiniDV
cassette tape). The HDV
format was defined by four
companies: Canon Inc., Sharp Corporation, Sony Corporation,
and Victor Company of Japan, Limited (JVC). The specification
of the HDV format incorporates two versions, one progressive
(720p) and the other interlaced (1080i). HDV uses the same
track pitch and tape speed as the DV format, and therefore the
recording times are the same duration as the DV format.
3. True 24p frame capture
24p Progressive Full HD images are ideal for cinematographic
applications. From shooting to editing and distribution, an HD
system can be established for film-like productions. Unlike 24p
images in standard definition, when real 24p HD video is
down-converted to SD, the result is truly film-like DVDs. The
camcorder itself, with its video lens removed and replaced by a
film lens converter system, such as the Mini 35 from P & S
Technik, effectively becomes a digital film camera.
2.HD Progressive (720/60p) format for high
quality moving pictures and digital stills
Ⅲ Progressive scanning
JVC’s ProHD products use the same
progressive scanning system used in high-
end HDTV cameras. Because the GY-
HD250 uses a full-frame (60p) progressive
scanning system, it has the unique ability
to capture and store full frames of image
information. An added bonus of
The GY-HD250, fitted
with Mini 35 film
adapter from P & S
Technik, becomes an
ideal digital film camera
progressive scanning is that it is a very
simple process to convert a progressive
image to interlaced, whereas the opposite
is not the case. When progressive
recordings are paused or played in slow
motion, each individual frame contains the
full detail of the original image — excellent
for viewing and analyzing motion. Stills and
prints captured from HD progressive video
avoid the distortion typically resulting from
the combining of two different frames of
interlaced video. In addition, today’s flat panel television
displays and fixed matrix projectors, such as D-ILA, DLP and
LCD, are all native progressive scanning systems. This means
that JVC’s progressive HDV recordings can be displayed
without imperfection, because they do not need to pass
through the degenerative process of de-interlacing prior to
being displayed.
4.JVC’s dual recording system
The optional JVC Hard Disk Recorder DR-HD100 creates a
dual recording system of tape and hard disk. This system is
already utilized by Professional DV users the world over. The
many advantages inherent in JVC’s dual recording system of
tape & hard disk drive are well appreciated. It was only natural
that JVC’s range of ProHD models would include a Hard Disk
Drive recorder and one that can operate equally in DV and
HDV modes. The dual recording system provides fast and
efficient HDD-based editing and cost-effective archiving, using
low-cost tapes. Thanks to the newly developed MPEG-2
encoding IC, high-quality pictures can be recorded on readily
available compact DV cassettes, so running costs are
minimized as no special equipment or exclusive media are
required. The DR-HD100 will also be able to record in the
QuickTime .mov file format enabling Direct-To-Edit (DTE)
capability with compatible non-linear editing systems.
The DR-HD100 can be mounted at the rear of the camcorder,
through the use of an optional bracket which is offered by the
leading battery systems manufacturers.
Ⅲ HDV and DV compatibility
The HDV format uses the same recording track pitch (10 µm)
as Professional DV, meaning that ProHD also offers track pitch
compatibility with the DV format and the same recording time.
This remarkable HD recording capability was achieved by
developing a new high-power MPEG codec system capable of
maintaining high-definition picture quality, while compressing
the data to 19.7 Mbps bit rate. With its superior resolution and
advanced processing, ProHD delivers top performance in both
its native 16:9 HD mode and in the SD mode. The facility to
make recordings in either HD or SD makes ProHD the ideal
choice for professionals not quite ready to make the full
transition to HD.

3-CCD camera system with 720p HD CCDs
The GY-HD250 uses three 1/3” high definition CCD image sensors.
Each array has a pixel resolution of 1280 x 720 and uses a micro lens
system. Since this native resolution matches that of most HDTV
displays, the need for image scaling is eliminated, further enhancing
the quality of the recorded images. Other advantages of these CCDs
include sophisticated circuitry that virtually eliminates lag and image
burn.
Professional functions and switch layout
In addition to the Full Auto Shooting to handle difficult or variable
lighting environments, the GY-HD250 is equipped with an array of
functions that give professionals creative flexibility. These include,
amongst others, zebra, gain, white balance and full shutter control.
Also, the GY-HD250’s switches have been positioned where
professional camera operators can expect them. This helps make
shooting more intuitive, precise, easy, and error-free, because the
learning process is minimized dramatically, making the GY-HD250 the
ideal camera for any assignment.

Patented “FOCUS ASSIST” function
A JVC-patented feature, Focus Assist, turns focusing into an easy, fast
and accurate process. When Focus Assist is activated, the picture in
the viewfinder becomes monochrome and all objects which are in focus
take on a color fringe. In addition to the factory default Middle position,
Low and High positions are available. In the Low position, you can limit
the area in focus for more precise focusing. This is particularly helpful
when using the technique of pulling focus. Focus Assist works equally
in the 0.44" viewfinder and the 3.5” LCD panel. There are two Focus
Assist buttons, one for each of handheld and shoulder operation.
Various audio-related functions
When color bars are output, an audio reference level (test tone) can
also be output if required. This is set via the menu. The audio reference
level can be set at -12 dB or -20 dB as required. To minimize
extraneous noise picked up by the microphone, a "wind cut" function
is provided.
Genlock

DR-HD100 Hard Disk Drive incorporating the latest DTE (Direct to EditTM) technology
Interface to GY-HD250 camcorder
Integrated with camcorder and disk drive operation
The DR-HD100 has been designed specifically to interface with the GY-HD250
camcorder via IEEE 1394. Interlocked to the camcorder’s record trigger, HD and
SD images can be recorded together with audio and time code. It can be
powered by either a built-in rechargeable or external battery. The DR-HD100 is
supplied with its own cradle, from which it can be detached easily. Optional
brackets are available for mounting the HDD recorder to the rear of the
camcorder.
Attached with the GY-HD250, the DR-HD100’s record and record/pause
functions are controlled from the camcorder. Time code generated by the
camcorder is recorded to files on the DR-HD100, and recorder status and other
information can appear in both the viewfinder or LCD display.
Long record times
This hard disk drive option extends uninterrupted record time by many hours. For
example, a 40GB FireWire drive can store 3 hours of DV video and 4 hours of
HDV video, and 80GB drive does twice these times. It is also possible to daisy
chain up to four external drives of different capacities to the DR-HD100, enabling
uninterrupted recording of extremely long duration.
Compatibility with NLE systems for HDV and DV editing
DTETM technology permits the DR-HD100 recordings in HDV and DV to be set
to the NLE’s native file format. This means that no time is lost due to the lengthy
processes of file transfer and conversion. The
DR-HD100 can be used with most popular editing applications from Adobe,
Apple, Avid, Canopus and many more*. As new application support is released,
the DR-HD100 can be updated in the field with new system software easily by
connecting the disk drive to a computer.
LCD display and playback modes
The DR-HD100 features a detailed LCD that displays the system mode, time code
and disk space remaining. Video clips can be reviewed in the viewfinder, LCD panel
or external monitor, by using DR-HD100’s playback mode. Functions include record,
play, pause, stop, forward index, back index and multi speed fast forward and
rewind.
