The BR-HD50E allows users to transfer both high and standard definition video material to and from their NLE systems and to make inexpensive tape archives of both. Switchable between the HDV and DV recording modes and equipped with DVCAM™ playback facility, the deck is an easy, flexible and cost-effective adjunct to any professional NLE system. The BR-HD50E features digital input and output via an IEEE 1394 standard 6-pin connector for lossless transfer and recording of high and standard definition material alike.

The BR-HD50E’s tape mechanism accepts both full size DV and miniDV cassettes and so has the capacity to record up to 276 minutes of video in either standard or high definition. The unit supports signals that are recorded in 720p/24/25/30/ and 576/50p in HDV, and 576i/50 & 25fps in DV. A front panel 8-digit LED display provides display of time code, user bits and VTR status. With its built-in HDV decoder, it has the ability to convert 720p MPEG2 recordings to 1080/50i or 576/50i for monitoring purposes. JVC had the foresight to include an HDMI output, meaning that large screen TFT panels and indeed any video screen display or PC monitor which is “HD Ready” can be directly fed from the BR-HD50’s High Definition Multimedia Interface.

The BR-HD50E also has versatile analogue input and output connections: component (via 3 x BNC), Y/C and Composite, as well as RS-422 control.

ProHD

The ProHD concept is built on the worldwide high definition standard of HDV adopted by JVC, Sharp, Sony and Canon. JVC has added professional features, in areas such as timecode and audio, without compromising the basic HDV standard. From the outset all ProHD models have been designed strictly for professional use.

Moreover, because video professionals will increasingly be called upon to produce programmes in high definition video as well as in standard definition, JVC has strategically included in their current range of ProHD camcorders and decks the same facilities for both standard and high definition production. On-board converters deliver, in real time from the native 720p engine, a wide array of high and standard definition signal types.
