OREGON FACILITY SELECTS JVC'S D-9
                          
Wayne, NJ (November 13, 1997) -- Photo & Video Services, an 
independent photo and video service which holds contracts with the 
state of Oregon, has selected JVC's D-9 as its primary tape 
format. 

The service, based in Salem, Ore., recently used JVC's D-9 
BR-D40 dockable field recorder in conjunction with JVC's KY-D29 
camera to shoot the rebuilding of a section of the I-5 Bridge by 
the Oregon State Department of Transportation, under extreme low-
light conditions.  Footage of the bridge rebuilding, which was 
aired on a local WABC-affiliate, showed iron workers, illuminated 
only by flashlight, working on the I-5 span that connects Oregon 
and Washington.  The span was old and in need of repairs. 	"Docking 
our KY-D29 with the BR-D40 has allowed us to get high-end broadcast 
quality at a competitive price,'' said Producer/Director Ted 
Burney. 

Burney also had high praise for JVC's BR-D50 D-9 Player and 
the BR-D80 D-9 Editor that provided him with the superb 
benefit of D-9 4:2:2 resolution and perceptually lossless 
compression. 

"A good reason to go with the 4:2:2 component digital system, is 
that we don't get the artifacts that occur from the DV's 4:1:1 
system," Burney said. 

The facility's new equipment was purchased in July from 
Professional Video & Tape of Portland, Ore.     

"D-9 is true 4:2:2 component digital and not 4:1:1.  We 
thought it would interface well with the acquisition of a nonlinear 
system and we also like the standard, larger tape format,'' Burney 
said.  "It's opening up new avenues for us in post-production." 

Not only has D-9 produced outstanding picture quality for 
Burney, it has proven to be durable in the field, where Burney 
often shoots footage at night under changing weather conditions. 

"Its performing beyond our expectations," Burney said.
