Versatile interface capability makes the BR-DV600U a perfect
fit for any professional analog or digital video system.
This compact, lightweight BR-DV600U PROFESSIONAL DV recorder/player
is not only flexible enough to connect into virtually any editing
system - linear or non-linear - it's got the performance specs
you need to produce high-quality, professional results.
Designed to interface with all the most commonly used professional
editing systems, the BR-DV600U's IEEE 1394 connectivity enables
lossless digital transfers to and from many non-linear editing
systems, making it an excellent choice as an NLE spooler. This
versatile unit is also the only DV machine to feature both component
inputs/outputs and an RS-422 interface. Additional systems flexibility
is assured by Y/C component connectors, JVC 12-pin control connectors,
and an optionally available RS-232C interface, allowing you to
use the BR-DV600U with just about any existing linear editing
system - whether it's analog or digital.
To make the most of this high-performance recorder/player,
you'll want to team it up with our new GY-DV500U DV camcorder.
Shoot high-quality digital footage in the field with the GY-DV500U,
then load the MiniDV cassette into the BR-DV600U and transfer
the video data to the editing system of your choice. With its
ability to convert analog signals to digital, the BR-DV600U can
be integrated with any existing system and allows for easy upgrading
in the future.
From corporate and educational productions to cable and TV
broadcasting, multimedia and more, the high-quality digital performance,
systems flexibility, and wide range of advanced professional features
make the BR-DV600U right choice for anyone shooting or editing
in DV.
BR-DV600U Features
System flexibility with various interfaces
To enable more versatile system configuration, the BR-DV600U
comes with an industry-standard RS-422 interface. As a feeder
in an editing system, this BR-DV600U can supply a DV source for
editing with various formats. It also comes with a JVC bus interface
compatible with JVC's popular S-VHS edit-desk system. An RS-232C
interface is optionally available. You can control the BR-DV600U
from a personal computer via either the DV or RS-232C interface.
DV recording on a Mini DV tape
Because it uses the Mini DV format, the BR-DV600U can offer
you all the convenience and affordability of a consumer system,
while providing the same high-quality 4:1:1, 8-bit, 25 Mbps component
digital processing as other DV-based systems to give you the superior
recording performance you need for professional applications.
Up to 60 minutes of DV component digital images can be recorded
on a single Mini DV tape, assuring you the high-quality, non-degradable
images you need for top results in post-production. Plus, Mini
DV tapes are readily available and inexpensive, so you can get
replacement tapes whenever you need them, wherever you are.
High-quality PCM digital audio
To complement its superior DV pictures, the BR-DV600U offers
outstanding digital PCM audio. You can choose two 16-bit 48-kHz
channels or four 12-bit, 32-kHz channels with a dynamic range
of more than 85 dB.
Variety of video inputs/outputs
| The BR-DV600U is equipped with an IEEE
1394 (DV) input/output. This allows lossless digital video and
audio transfers to or from any DV equipped device such as a non-linear
editing system or DV recorder. In addition, composite/YC/component
inputs/outputs are provided for various video sources. |

I Super scene finder
The BR-DV600U features JVC's exclusive new Super Scene Finder.
By letting you log scenes, and mark the ones you want to use,
this dramatically speeds up the transfer process and saves disk
space in a non-linear editing system. Log data recorded on a tape
with the GY-DV500U can be spooled onto a non-linear editing system.
Since scene data is written directly onto the Mini DV cassette,
expensive cassettes with memory chips are not required. Up to
134 scenes can be marked per cassette.
Compact and lightweight design
With a width of only 215 mm (8-1/2"), two BR-DV600Us can
be placed side by side in an EIA standard rack. The BR-DV600U
weighs only 4 kg (8.8 lbs.).
AC/DC operation
In addition to the AC power connector, a DC 12 V connector
is provided, allowing the BR-DV600U to run in locations where
an AC power supply is not available.
Other features
Time code reader/generator
External sync input/output connectors
External timer recording/playback
