- Las Vegas, NV (April 14, 2008) -- JVC
announced today that Avid Technology, Inc. will support the
company’s ProHD format in its new line of Media Composer®

recorders.

and affordable,” says Craig Yanagi, National Marketing Manager,
Creation Products, JVC Professional Products Company. “Avid’s
support of ProHD greatly expands the range of editing and
distribution capability for our global users.”

capability of ProHD material maintains the original HD broadcast
quality throughout the post-production process. In addition, the 20
Mbps payload of ProHD expands storage capability and increases
signal transfer speed efficiency within the Avid system.

signals from HDV720 format in 60p, 50p, 30p, 25p and 24p as well as

demanded by broadcast and professional production applications.

the ProHD format in our newly-announced line of editing solutions,”

Avid. “Increasingly, our customers are able to work with more
formats and increase the speed, productivity and creative output of
their projects. We look forward to seeing the many projects created
on our systems with JVC cameras.”

manufacturers who support JVC’s ProHD platform,” added Yanagi.
