High-quality PCM digital audio
To complement its superior pictures, the GY-DV700WE offers outstanding
digital PCM sound. Audio signals are locked with video signals for smooth
editing. You can choose from two 16-bit 48-kHz channels or two 12-bit, 32-
kHz channels with a dynamic range of more than 85 dB.
CH1 and CH2 audio channels with manual audio controls are provided on
both the back and front of the unit, assuring that your primary audio is always
within easy reach during shooting. In addition, auto mode with limiter
compressor and low cut filter for outdoors shooting are provided. Three
XLR connectors provide line or microphone input level with selectable
phantom power while a built-in wireless microphone receiver receptacle can
be used to carry Sony 820 wireless receiver.
LOLUX 0.75 lux
When activated, the LOLUX
mode (an original JVC
invention)
increases
sensitivity with minimal
increase in noise.
LOLUX lets you shoot in near darkness (as low
as 0.75 lux). As a result, you can capture
footage under the most challenging conditions.
This feature is a real plus for ENG, reality TV
or documentaries.
14-bit digital signal processor
(DSP)
The GY-
DV700WE applies
JVC’s DSP with
advanced high-
speed dual pipeline
14-bit video
processing. Colour
matrix, skin detail,
highlight chroma and no black compression
bring out natural details, eliminate spot noise,
and accurately reproduce dark areas, allowing
you to get great footage using only ambient
light.
Versatile functions
IEEE 1394 (Firewire) output
compatible with most NLE
systems
This allows high-quality compressed
digital video signal transfer directly to
a computer, a non-linear editing
system, or to another DV recorder.
Producers can now digitally spool
directly to a non-linear editing platform
without loss.
EBU time code input/output
EBU TC I/O connectors for multi-
camera shooting allow
synchronisation to other devices
such as Nagra, DAT’s and TC
Slate. The GY-DV700WE’s
internal EBU TC reader generator
provides user bit at any tape speed.
Super Scene Finder (SSF™)
A JVC exclusive, Super Scene Finder lets you log scenes automatically or
manually in the field while shooting, and optionally mark the best ones. The
SSF data for the last six tapes is retained in the camcorder’s non-volatile
memory. Data for up to 134 scenes may be permanently stored on the head
of the corresponding tape. The camcorder possesses an RS-232 port for
controlling the tape mechanism and downloading the scene data to a PC
running logging software. Super Scene Finder dramatically speeds up and
simplifies not only the production, but also the NLE transfer process and
saves disk space, because you digitize only those scenes you need for editing.
Convenient facilities
The GY-DV700WE is provided with a tripod and lens mount compatible
with a wide range of peripherals such as Steadicams, cranes, dollies and
matte boxes/rail systems.
Compact, lightweight design
Only 3 kg for the main unit
Because it uses MiniDV tapes, high-tech materials, advanced
microprocessors and highly-integrated electronics, the GY-DV700WE is able
to pack a lot of performance into a very compact body. Built entirely of a
strong yet lightweight die-cast magnesium alloy, the camcorder body itself
weighs only 3 kg. Even when you add lens, viewfinder, battery pack and
tape, it is still surprisingly light — weighing in at 5.5 kg or less.
User-friendly design
Viewfinder status display
The viewfinder status display uses characters and menus to display selected
information in the viewfinder. For example, 4:3 or 16:9 safe area, time
code/tape remain, F stop, battery condition, shutter speed, zebra pattern for
skin detail and brightness indication are all displayed, as well as various
events, camera setting status, recorder operation, and selected setup
parameters.
Convenient menu dial
Quickly and easily navigate through the camera’s powerful setup menu or
select the shutter-speed with the convenient menu point and click dial.
Tally lamps
Tally lamps on the viewfinder and rear panel indicate when the camera enters
the record mode and flash when the battery level is too low, the remaining
tape time is less than 3 minutes, etc. Either tally may be switched off at the
user’s discretion.
Back-lit LCD display
Clear and easy to see even in the dark, this display shows operation status
and warning indicators including audio level indicators, remaining
tape/battery power display, time code reader/generator indication, menu
setting and time date display.
