Avid, Final Cut Pro Support

Building on the success of the JVC GY-HD100U , JVC introduces two new cameras to its HD lineup at NAB 2006: The GY-HD200U and GY-HD250U. The 250U is at the top of the lineup. All models have interchangeable lens capability. Here are some of the features as mentioned in the JVC Press Release:

JVC GY-HD250U

- 60p Encoding

- HD-SDI Output with Embedded Audio

- Time Code Synchronization and Genlock

- Composite Video Outputs

- Pool Feed

- BNC Connectors

- Dual Media Recording on optional DR-HD100U hard Disk Drive Recorder or on tape.

This camera can also be transformed into a studio camera with the KA-HD 250 Studio Kit.

JVC GY-HD200U

- Can utilize JVC's exlusive HZ-CA 13U 16mm Film Lens Adapter with PL Mount giving it the ability to use a variety of prime zoom lenses.

- Has an Image Inversion Function enabling you to compensate for the reversed image of prime lenses. I HOPE THAT ALL OF THE MAJOR CAMERA MANUFACTURERS WILL SOON OFFER A FEATURE MUCH LIKE THIS ONE AS MORE VIDEOGRAPHERS ARE STARTING TO EXPERIMENT WITH 35MM LENS ADAPTERS AND PRIME LENSES.

- 60p Encoder

- Enhanced Cinema Gamma

This camera basically expands on the features that producers have come to love in the in the 100U.

Just in case you haven't heard, if you already own one of the early models of the HD100U, JVC is offering a free upgrade to the HD100 "A" model.
