ProHD — JVC’s Affordable
HD Solution
1. Full Progressive Scanning (720p)
Leading industry professionals told us that
they wanted a full-frame progressive
scanning system that would shoot and
record the highest quality continuous
moving images. ProHD uses the
720/60p progressive format and
produces crisp, native HD images which
perfectly match today’s digital displays
and which can be converted easily,
without degradation, to interlaced
scanning pictures.
2. Time Code
As a professional system, ProHD
products include the facility to record
and display timecode. 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 editing
systems. Direct digital transfers via IEEE 1394
ensure the quality is maintained throughout the
transfer process.
4. Dual recording system
Designed to utilize both DV tape and 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 important tool for creative
expression. For the ultimate form of display on
the cinema screen, 24 frame
progressive
recordings can be
readily
transferred to 16
mm or 35 mm
film. The optional
HZ-CA13U Film
Lens Adapter further
empowers digital
filmmakers by enabling
the use of 16mm film
mount.

1. HD Progressive (720p/60) format for high quality
moving pictures and digital stills
Progressive scanning
JVC’s ProHD products use the same progressive scanning
system used in high-end HDTV cameras. Because the
GY-HD200B 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 progressive scanning is that it is
a very simple process to convert a progressive image to
interlaced, but not vice versa. 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 look far better than from interlaced video. In any case,
today’s flat panel television displays and fixed matrix projectors,
such as D-ILA, DLP and LCD, all utilize a native progressive
scanning systems. This means that JVC’s progressive recordings
can be displayed without imperfection, because they do not need
to pass through the degenerative process of de-interlacing, prior
to being displayed.
DV compatibility
The GY-HD200B uses the same recording track pitch (10 µm) as
Professional DV, meaning that it also offers track pitch
compatibility with the DV format and the same recording time.
The remarkable HD recording capability was achieved by
developing a new high-power MPEG codec system capable of
maintaining high-definition picture quality, whilst 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, either 16:9 or 4:3.
2. True 24 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.
3.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 tape 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 minimal. As no special equipment
or exclusive media are required, the operating costs of the total
system can be kept low. The DR-HD100 is mounted at the rear
of the camcorder, utilizing an optional bracket which is provided
by the leading battery systems manufacturers.

The advantages of ProHD
The GY-HD200B “BirnsGear” package with
the HZ-CA13U
New JVC picture quality optimization technology
within GY-HD200B/250
Horizontal resolution and signal-to-noise ratio have been enhanced,
making the already high ProHD picture quality even better. Together
with ProHD’s superior color reproduction, these improvements
ensure true professional quality HD imaging.
a. 14-bit A/D converter
To improve both the S/N ratio and the horizontal resolution, a new
14-bit A/D converter was specially developed by JVC to prevent
signal deterioration and to generate a fourfold increase in
gradations.
b. Wideband front end processing
The ProHD camcorder uses a wideband analog front end to
process its CCD sampling via the 14-bit A/D converter. This further
improves the S/N ratio and horizontal resolution by optimizing the
CCD drive circuitry. The new LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signal)
interface minimizes any other possible signal degradation and so
contributes to the improved S/N ratio.
c. Newly-developed pixel converter
To enable 720p/60 recording, a new super encoder and a new pixel
converter were developed, incorporating an adaptive filter which
optimizes the scalar performance of cross-converted signals,
including 1080i. The resultant effects are increased resolution and
reduced aliasing. Objects thus have much more natural looking
edges and images are therefore extremely lifelike in appearance.

Designed for news gathering, field production and digital
cinematography, the GY-HD200B offers full-frame 720p/60
image capture and real 24p recording capability. Its high
resolution and smooth motion make it perfect for ENG and
recording sports events, while its HD progressive 24 frames per
second record rate lends itself to cinematic productions, giving
them a very natural and film-like appearance. So whatever your
HD requirements may be, this ProHD camcorder from JVC
provides an affordable HD solution and is designed to meet
your professional application needs.
Professional specifications
Real 24p camcorder
The GY-HD200B also offers real HD 24p recording capability —
previously available on only the most expensive HD cameras. Ideal for
DVD production, HD progressive 24-frame-per-second recording
makes it possible to shoot images with film-like quality and smooth
motion. Once recorded, those images can easily be transferred without
frame rate conversion to 16 mm or 35 mm film with full HD fidelity.
ProHD’s outstanding image quality is supported by a wide range of
powerful features which have great appeal to true film professionals.
These include the image inverse function, as required by certain film
lens adapters, and a menu to select the appropriate combination of
color matrix and film gamma type. Cinema Gamma is deployed to
assist in making video look like film, and Film Out gamma can be used
when the video is to be ultimately transferred to film.
This choice of gamma means that the cinematographer, irrespective of
whether the final production will be presented as film or as video, can
be sure of always getting the best possible image.
Interchangeable HD lenses
The GY-HD200B features a standard professional 1/3" bayonet lens
mount, providing the opportunity to use a variety of other professional
HD lenses. In addition to the standard Th16x Fujinon lens supplied, a
number of other 1/3” bayonet mount zoom lenses is available. Canon
offers a powerful 20x5mm zoom lens and Fujinon similarly an
18x4.2mm, besides a very wide 13x3.5mm lens and 17x5mm lens.
Furthermore, lens mount adapters ACM-12 and ACM-17 convert the
mount to 1/2” and 2/3” bayonet mount respectively, providing cost
savings by way of using existing 1/2” and 2/3” lenses. Also, to enable
the use of film camera lenses, specialist film lens adapters are available.
3-CCD camera system with 720p HD CCDs
JVC ProHD cameras use true native progressive-scan, full-raster 1280
x 720 CCD imagers with micro-lenses that offer pixel-for-pixel HD
compliance. Images captured with progressive CCDS have better
resolution, especially with motion, and are much easier and efficient to
compress than interlaced signals. Pixel-for-pixel compliance in a native
720p workflow environment means that the image will never be scaled
or converted in the production chain, further ensuring the highest
quality HD signal.
Uncompressed 720p/60 live output via component
When required, the GY-HD200B can output a live uncompressed
720p/60 signal or 1080i/60 in the form of analog component signal,
making it an excellent choice as a video server feed.
One very important reason why JVC developed the progressive form of
HDV was the ease and speed with which a progressive signal can be
converted to other formats, irrespective of whether the conversion is
up, cross or down. Conversion to 1080i is always performed in real
time because the time-consuming complexity of de-interlacing is not
required.
Professional functions
Compact shoulder mount
JVC’s ProHD camcorders are the first fully professional HD camcorders
to feature a compact design and shoulder mount. Like its
predecessors, the GY-HD200B offers excellent mobility and enhanced
usability, while its flexible range of ergonomic adjustments ensures that
any camera operator, regardless of stature or physique, can support the
camcorder steadily and, above all, comfortably.
Professional functions and switch layout
In addition to the Full Auto Shooting to handle difficult or variable
lighting environments, the GY-HD200B is equipped with an array of
functions that give professionals creative flexibility. These include,
zebra, gain, white balance and full shutter control. Also, the
GY-HD200B’s switches have been positioned where professional
camera operators expect them to be. Shooting is intuitive, precise,
easy, and error-free, because the learning process is minimized
dramatically, making the GY-HD200B the ideal camera for any
assignment.
Detachable 230,000-pixel LCD color viewfinder
The viewfinder’s eyepiece can be moved backwards and forwards and
can also be adjusted laterally for left or right eye shooting, so the
viewfinder can fit any operator comfortably. JVC’s own developed
proprietary and patented Focus Assist control ensures fast and easy
focusing. It has 3 settings, (high, medium & low) depending on the

type of subject in view. To make focusing even easier, a black and
white mode is available. Stronger contrast and reduced color noise
make visualization and composition easier in this mode and put less
strain on the eyes, which allows longer periods of shooting. The
eyepiece viewfinder can be used at same time as the LCD display. If it
is not required, the eyepiece viewfinder may be detached.
3.5" LCD display panel
This 250,000-pixel 3.5" color TFT LCD monitor provides a high-
resolution image during shooting and playback. JVC’s own developed
Focus Assist control ensures fast and easy focusing. A push button
selects three display modes:
1. Video only
2. Video images with text information overlay including time, status,
mode and other data are shown on the screen.
3. Only information such as time, status, mode, time code, audio levels
and other data is shown on the screen.
Various audio-related functions
When color bars are output, an audio reference level (test tone) can also
be output if required. This is requested 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.
Versatility and flexibility
Camera settings recorded on SD card
Customized settings can be stored on a standard SD memory card and
loaded into another GY-HD200B or changed on site, as required.
IEEE 1394 (FireWire) in/out
A convenient IEEE 1394 interface allows easy direct connection to NLE
systems or to a PC for capturing, editing and archiving.
User-friendly design
Universal ergonomic design
The camcorder adapts to fit any shape of body comfortably because of
the shoulder pad that can be moved back & forth, the left or right eye
viewfinder that can also adjust back & forth, and the padded audio
monitor that slides up & down.
Patented “FOCUS ASSIST” function
A JVC patented device, Focus Assist, turns focusing into a fast, easy
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 colored 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.
Connect to optional external HDD
The camcorder has a hard disk drive accessory option, DR-HD100,
which connects via the IEEE 1394 port. Footage captured on the hard
disk can be edited immediately without having to wait for data
to be transferred.
Connects to GY-HD200B camcorder
The DR-HD100 has been designed specifically to attach to the GY-HD200B
camcorder. Interlocked to the camcorder’s record trigger, HD and SD images can
be recorded together with audio and time code. It is powered by either a built-in
rechargeable or an external battery. The DR-HD100 is supplied with its own
cradle, from which it is detached detaches easily. Optional brackets are available
for mounting the HDD recorder at the rear of the camcorder. And, to provide
flexibility during the media transition period, JVC has added an 1080i recording
capability using a IEEE1394 interface with the DR-HD100.
Compatible with popular NLE systems for HD and DV editing
Native File Recording technology permits the DR-HD100 recording data in HD
and DV to be set to the NLE’s native file format. This means that no time is lost
to the lengthy processes of file transfer and rendering. Use DR-HD100 instantly
with the most popular 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, by an easy process using the disk drive itself.
Native File Recording, when used with Apple FCP, is the fastest and easiest HD
workflow in the industry. While using the DR-HD100 menu, m2t or mov file
formats can be selected.
Integrated with camcorder and disk drive operation
Attached to the GY-HD200B, 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. The status of the DR-HD100 and other vital
information appears in the camcorder’s viewfinder and LCD display.
Long record times
This hard disk drive option extends uninterrupted record time by hours.
For example, an 100GB FireWire drive can store 8 hours of DV and HD1080i
video and 10hours of HD video (at 720p). It is possible also to daisy chain up to
four external drives of different capacities to the DR-HD100, enabling
uninterrupted recording of incredibly long durations.
LCD display and playback modes
The DR-HD100 features a detailed LCD that displays system mode, time code and
disk space remaining. When used with the GY-HD200B camcorder, clips can be
reviewed on 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.
