March 3, 2009 – Establishing a new category in flat panel TV design, JVC announced an LCD TV system that includes a super slim monitor that features a color space that is wider than a typical HDTV’s.

The new JVC LT-42WX70 is a 42-inch class (42.02 inches diagonal) full HD LCD TV monitor that targets digital imaging professionals and enthusiasts using high-end digital SLR cameras, allowing them for the first time to see the subtle colors, details and textures of their images faithfully reproduced.

The monitor features expanded color space capacity encompassing 100 percent of HDTV broadcasting’s (sRGB.904) color space and a coverage rate of 96 percent for Adobe RGB — a color space for still photographs taken on high-definition digital SLR cameras — to provide accurate reproduction of both video and still photographs. The LT-42WX70 also features 52 picture-quality adjustment properties for tweaking both still and video images source-by-source to the exact colors and tones the user prefers. Read more

February 10, 2009—JVC Professional Products Company today formally announced the GY-HM100 ProHD camcorder, the industry's first professional hand-held model to record files directly to solid state media in the native format of Apple's Final Cut Pro™ editing system. For the first time, recorded material can be edited directly from the solid state memory card, dramatically reducing the amount of time required to edit programs together. The camera met with rave reviews when it was previewed at the Final Cut Pro User Group SuperMeet at Macworld in January.

“Traditionally, camera manufacturers have designed their products expecting NLE vendors to conform to proprietary or generic file formats resulting in an extra and often time consuming step when preparing to edit,” said Craig Yanagi, National Marketing Manager for Creation Products at JVC. “Files created in the GY-HM100 can be edited immediately without conversion. It's truly the first camcorder designed for post production.”

With the development of the new GY-HM100 ProHD camcorder, JVC offers versatility, quality and value in a hand-held, professional 3-CCD format that is both easy to use and on par with broadcast cameras. The GY-HM100 delivers amazing high-bandwidth recordings at 1080p, 720p and 1080i on affordable and widely available SDHC Class 6 memory cards and is sure to cause waves in the industry. Weighing a mere 3.1 lbs, the GY-HM100 packs performance and features which until now were found only in larger, more expensive models. Read more
