In The Studio Or On The Road, 

This Versatile Camcorder With 26-Pin Interface 

Delivers The Performance You Need 

For Any Professional 

 Video Production Application. 

1/2" 3-CCD DV Camcorder

with Full CCU Control

26-Pin Interface

GY-DV550U

As the world’s only DV camcorder to offer full CCU control and have features like 26-pin 

remote, TelePrompTer and intercom, the GY-DV550U – or Studio DV Camcorder – 

functions exceptionally well as both a full bandwidth (800+ lines) broadcast-standard 

studio camera and a powerful ENG camcorder.  And though it’s ideal for broadcasters, 

it’s priced within reach of virtually everyone.

The Studio DV Camcorder offers all the features, 
capabilities and accessories you’d expect from a 

CCU-controllable camera – plus the ability to 

operate in an ISO-cam environment.  In addition 

to its top-notch performance specs, the Studio 

DV offers it all: a standard 1/2-inch bayonet 

mount (that accepts virtually every professional 

lens available), bi-directional IEEE 1394, two 

48 kHz 16-bit 

digital PCM 

audio 

channels 

and a built-

in SMPTE 

time code 

reader/generator.  Connectivity is outstanding – with 

XLR microphone inputs, audio outputs, headphones 

output and both composite and Y/C outputs.  And, 

because it’s MiniDV, the Studio DV Camcorder offers the 

industry’s widest compatibility, with the ability to play back 

recordings on DVCAM and DVCPRO.

Maximum versatility, exceptional performance and superior 

value make the Studio DV the smart choice for any 

professional who needs a camcorder that will consistently 

deliver in the studio, the field – or both.  It’s clear to see why 

JVC’s Studio DV outperforms anything in its class.
