FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW JVC BLU-RAY / HARD DRIVE COMBO DECK
ALLOWS
DIRECT RECORDING OF LIVE SIGNAL TO BLU-RAY
DISC
- WAYNE, NJ (April 16,
2012) –
JVC Professional Products Company,
a division of JVC Americas Corp., today announced
the
SR-HD2500US, the latest model in its successful line
of high performance professional combo decks. With
its built-in
Blu-ray
recorder and
500 GB hard drive, the unit provides easy duplication
and disc authoring without a PC. Plus, it features an
HD/SD-SDI input, which allows it to connect to most
professional video systems and provide direct
recording of a live signal to Blu-ray
disc.
- “With its built-in HD-SDI interface, the new
SR-HD2500US is compatible with most HD production
switchers,” explained Dave Walton, JVC
assistant vice president, marketing communications.
“Beyond traditional duplication tasks, our new
combo deck is a very valuable tool for live events,
because a producer can deliver a Blu-ray copy of a
program to their client as soon as the program is
completed.”
- For
disc
authoring, videos are transferred
from a camcorder or other device to the internal hard
drive (which stores up to 24 hours of HD footage),
then assembled into a completed project and recorded
to Blu-ray disc via a simple, menu-driven interface.
Users can record and author professional BDMV (with
menu) or BDAV discs using BD-R or BD-RE (erasable)
Blu-ray discs. Unprotected DVD and Blu-ray discs can
be easily duplicated as well.
- The
SR-HD2500US offers a number of upgrades over
JVC’s previous Blu-ray combo decks. For
example, time code mode allows producers to a create
a “window burn” of the time code embedded
in the SDI signal. It is an easy way to create
high-quality dailies and client review copies –
and the window burn is in the picture area, making it
far less attractive for unauthorized
use.
- A time
stamp feature provides on-screen time and date
information, even when there is no time code
information embedded in the SDI signal. Generated by
the clock in the SR-HD2500US, time stamp information
is useful for surveillance and law enforcement
applications, as well as academic and medical
research.
- Discs
can be authored for auto-start or repeat playback,
which is ideal for retail point-of-sale displays or
kiosks. With its built-in format converter, the
SR-HD2500US can record to DVDs as well. The unit
supports AVC H.264, MPEG-TS, and MPEG-2 video
recording, plus Dolby Digital and Linear PCM audio
recording. It
also accepts AVCHD camcorder files as well as .MOV
files recorded by JVC ProHD camcorders at 19, 25, and
35 Mbps.
- The SR-HD2500US features USB
and i.Link (IEEE-1394) ports, as well as a
SDHC card slot, for compatibility with a wide variety
of digital sources. Composite and S-Video inputs are
included to provide support for legacy analog
devices. There are also HD-SDI, HDMI, and component
outputs for flexible monitoring, and a RS-232 port
for external control.
- The
SR-HD2500US has a suggested list price of $3,995 and
is now shipping. JVC
will showcase the new combo deck at
the 2012 NAB
Show (Booth C4314), which runs April 16-19 in Las
Vegas, Nev.
