Professional DV Camcorder
The latest addition to
JVC’s Professional DV lineup, the new GY-DV5100

and a 24-bit camera DSP with user selectable detail
frequency positions for optimized video performance.
GY-DV5100U
Highlights
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. 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. Five color
matrix presets (Standard/Warm/Extra1/Extra2/Extra3)
are provided to give you more creative control over
the look and feel of your images.
Tri-mode
2.5-inch LCD display The
200,000-pixel, 2.5-inch color TFT LCD monitor
provides a high-resolution 440 TVL 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 (see
example in paragraph below).
Functions and
switch layout for professionals
In addition to the Full Auto Shooting to handle
difficult or variable lighting environments, the
GY-DV5100 is equipped with an array of pro-level
functions that provide professionals with the
creative flexibility they need. These include soft
detail correction, Skin Tone Detection, fully
adjustable gamma, Iris over/under Black
Stretch/Compress, Frame Mode, etc. The GY-DV5100'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-DV5100
is the ideal camera for any assignment.
LOLUX 0.2
lx (F1.4) When activated,
the LOLUX mode increases sensitivity with almost no
increase in noise. LOLUX increases the gain by +36
dB so you can capture high-quality video footage
with excellent color balance, enhanced gradations,
and minimal color smear even in low-light
conditions.
Various
audio-related functions
When color bars are output, audio reference level
(test tone) is also output. The audio reference
level can be set to -12 dB or -20 dB as required. In
addition, a "wind cut" function is provided to
minimize extraneous noise picked up by the
microphone.
Versatile,
User-Friendly Design
Direct
dock to DR-DV5000 The DV
select switch on the rear allows you to dock a
DR-DV5000 removable hard disk drive without having
to use a DV cable.
Two
external rear audio connectors
Two XLR connectors on the rear panel, as well one on
the front, enable flexible audio input from multiple
sources such as a shotgun microphone plus wireless
microphone.
Standard
Anton Bauer Gold Mount (NTSC model only)
This camera is compatible with any Gold Mount
battery such as Dionic, HyTRON, ProPac and Trimpac.
With the VTR trigger button, the camera mounted
light turns on or off automatically (this function
is switchable). In addition, communication between
the Anton Bauer battery and the GY-DV5100 through
QR-JVC-Digi bracket makes possible an interactive
viewfinder fuel gauge that shows the exact battery
remaining capacity as a percentage and camera usable
time as minutes.
Optional
1.5-inch CRT black & white 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.
On-shoulder type with soft shoulder pad
For smooth, stable shooting, the GY-DV5100 has been
designed for on-shoulder shooting and comes with an
advanced soft shoulder pad that will not slip
regardless of the type of clothing or the fabric.
Scan mode
It is possible to select between video or "Hi Res
Frame Mode" for a more cinematographic effect.
