| JVC GY-HD100 24P HDV Camera
As the first HD camcorder to feature a 1/3” bayonet mount, this 3-CCD HDV/DV camcorder is compatible with a wide selection of versatile interchangeable lenses. With its compact shoulder-type design, comprehensive professional features, and excellent portability, the GR-HD100 is today’s most affordable HD image gathering solution. |
1/3” 3-CCD camera system with 720p HD CCDs
The GY-HD100 uses three newly developed 1/3” HD-CCD image sensors, each one featuring an array of 1280 x 720 pixels (approximately 1 Megapixel), with micro lenses. Since the camera’s 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. |
Interchangeable lenses
The GY-HD100 features a standard professional 1/3" bayonet lens mount that allows you to exploit other professional lenses. By using the optional adapter, popular 1/2” lenses can be used. |
Real 24p camcorder
The GY-HD100 is a professional high-definition camcorder featuring real HD 24p capture and recording capability - previously only available on the most expensive HD cameras. With HD progressive 24 recording, you can shoot images with film-like quality and smooth motion performance that are ideal for DVD production. |
Uncompressed 720p signal output
In addition to providing superior quality HD recording in the 24p format, the GY-HD100 can output an uncompressed 720p HD signal that?s ideal for live broadcasting. With a third-party HDSDI converter, you can stream the uncompressed full-resolution signal to an array of systems. |
Two XLR audio inputs
Two XLR connectors allow you to record high-quality digital audio. Independent controls are provided for each channel. |
Compact shoulder mount
The first fully professional HD camcorder to feature a shoulder-type mount with a compact body, the GR-HD100 offers excellent mobility and enhanced usability. The exclusive shoulder-type mount assures ease of handling for anyone, regardless of physical strength. |
Smooth motion function (JVC-patented)
JVC’s exclusive smooth motion function captures images at double the normal rate when shooting in 30p or 25p (that is, at 60p or 50p). When the doubled images are merged, they are passed through a newly developed filter that smoothes out the subject’s motion by retaining a small percentage of residual image. This eliminates the motion judder that typically appear in images shot at 30p or 25p. |
Functions and switch layout for "real" professionals
In addition to the Full Auto Shooting to handle difficult or variable lighting environments, the GY-HD100 is equipped with an array of pro-level functions that provide professionals with the creative flexibility they need, including zebra, gain, white balance, shutter, etc. The GY-HD100's switches have also been arranged in the way that most professionals are accustomed to, making operation more intuitive, precise, easy, and error-free. Since you won't have to "re-learn" how to use this camcorder all over again, the GY-HD100 is the ideal camera for any assignment. |
Full Auto Shooting
In an emergency, or when it's not possible to pause to adjust white balance or change the 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 provides both variable gain and variable shutter and Full Auto White to follow color temperature changes. This means you can shoot continuously from dark to bright, from indoors to outdoors, without changing gain, iris, white balance or ND filter. |
Color matrix
A sophisticated six-axis color matrix circuit effectively compensates optics-related color reproduction to ensure more natural, true-to-life tones. Several color matrix presets are provided to give you more creative control over the look and feel of your images. |
Detachable 0.44-type 230,000-pixel LCD viewfinder
The viewfinder can be moved forwards or backwards and can be adjusted for left or right eye shooting, so it is comfortable for any operator. Peaking is optimized to make focusing easy at all times.
Tri-mode 3.5-inch LCD display
The 250,000-pixel 3.5" color TFT LCD monitor provides a high resolution image during shooting or playback. Its peaking adjust function allows quick, effortless focusing. A push button selects three display modes.
- Video only
- Video images with text information overlay including time, status, mode, and other data are shown on the screen.
- Data information only including time, status, mode, and other data are shown on the screen.

Various audio-related functions
When color bars are output, an audio reference level (test tone) can also be output if desired. You can specify this via the menu, as well as set the audio reference level to -12 dB or -20 dB as required. To minimize extraneous noise picked up by the microphone, a "wind cut" function is provided. |
Real-time playback capability
With real-time playback capability in all major DTV formats, the GYHD100 makes it easy to convert recorded data to other formats without compromising the level of quality. |
Easy transfer to 16 mm or 35 mm film
Especially designed to facilitate transfer to 16 mm or 35 mm film, the GY-HD100 features a user selectable motion filter that enables it to provide smooth motion similar to that seen in motion pictures. This enables recordings to be transferred with full HD fidelity, without frame rate conversion. |
Camera settings recorded on an SD card
Customized settings can be stored on a standard SD memory card and loaded into another GY-HD100 or switched out on site as required. |
IEEE 1394 interface
A convenient IEEE 1394 bus interface lets you easily connect the camcorder to NLE systems or a PC for easy downloading, and editing or archiving. |
Universal design (ergonomic design)
Adapts to fit anybody comfortably with shoulder pad that can be moved back and forth, left-eye viewfinder, and up/down adjustable headphones.
|
Patented "FOCUS ASSIST" function
This function exaggerates picture detail in the viewfinder to facilitate focusing in high definition. This makes it much easier to perform the fine focusing adjustment required for accurate HD focusing.The edge of the in-focus picture is shown in color, so the operator can tell that the subject is in focus. The operator can check which point in the image is in focus in real time. |
Variety of optional lenses
In addition to a standard detachable 16x servo Fujinon lens, a wide range of options are available, including a 13x (3.5 mm) wide zoom lens, a wide angle converter for the standard 16x lens, and an adapter that allows standard 1/2" lenses to be used on the camera. |
DC input
A DC input is located on the side of the battery holder, so battery can be replaced with new one without turning the camera off by using a DC adapter. |
Connect to an external HDD
You can connect this camcorder to the optional DR-HD100 hard disk drive via the IEEE 1394 connector, allowing you to edit footage immediately without having to wait for data to be transferred. |
Built-in color bars generator
SMPTE/EBU type HD and SD color bars are available. |
