JVC INTRODUCES INDUSTRY’S FIRST 3-IN-1 DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER/PLAYER
Offers Multiple Media Formats, Editing and Dubbing Capabilities

LAS VEGAS, NV (June 8, 2005) – Continuing to lead the industry in professional combinations decks, JVC PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS COMPANY presents the SR-DVM70U 3-in-1 video recorder/player. Ideal for both professionals and home users, this compact deck combines MiniDV, DVD, and Hard Disk Drive Recorder making video archiving and media duplication more convenient and cost-effective. In addition, the SR-DVM70US has a 160 GB capacity that offers high storage capacity and long recording times with selectable recording rates.

The SR-DVM70US produces professional-looking, high-quality DVD with smooth video edits, chaptering, and menu backgrounds. This deck is an ideal tool for quick and easy editing of live sporting events and ENG footage as well as for dubbing, archiving and duplication in a post-production facility, academic or corporate office. For those who duplicate in mass quantity, the SR-DVM70 maintains the highest, all-digital image quality assured by the digital-to-digital signal transfer and at a recording speed of up to 8x real time.

“The introduction of the 3-in-1 deck is an example of JVC’s commitment to developing new technologies and products that meet the needs of the professional market,” said Tim Tokita, product marketing manager for JVC PROFESSIONAL PRODUCT COMPANY. “By offering this multifunctional product, we’re able to simplify the entire archiving and duplication process, which saves a great deal of time and money.”

When dubbing, the deck analyzes content as it’s being recorded on the hard disk drive and assigns optimum bit rates to ensure the finest picture quality while calculating disc capacity. In addition, the deck features selectable recording times and data rates depending on the application. Copying of DVD discs can also be preformed at a maximum recording speed of 64 times in FR 480 mode.

The SR-DVM70U’s synchronized editing functions allow video data that has already been edited on the hard disk to be transferred digitally to disc via the DVD recorder. The DVD recorder signal helps preserve picture quality and ensures that DVD playback is seamless with no visible edit points.

In addition, the SR-DVM70US is DVCAM™ compatible. DVCAM™ recorded videotapes can be dubbed to a DVD or HDD through the deck’s MiniDV recorder. The video output terminal has a BNC connector that ensures a reliable and secure connection to other units.

Additional features of the SR-DVM70U include a DV block noise canceller on the MiniDV deck to reduce any block noise that may occur when playing back DV and DVCAM™ tapes. A remote control code input terminal can be found on real panel of the deck for remote control access by third party vendors. Professional video editors will save time in the editing process with the deck’s ability to store the last operation in its memory function. The last memory function stores the most recent editing function performed and resumes from the previous point as well.

The SR-DVM70US is currently available with a suggested list price of $1,795. Additional information and high-resolution photos are available on JVC’s Web site at http://pro.jvc.com.
