Performance for Production Professionals  
Superior Image Reproduction  
D-9 Format  
Three High-Density 1/2-Inch CCDs  
JVCs D-9 format has established a reputation as a  
workhorse format. Broadcasters and production  
professionals rely on D-9 to deliver picture quality rivaling  
the most expensive digital formats and reliability superior to  
any video cassette format, analog or digital.  
Featuring three advanced 1/2-inch  
interline transfer CCDs and a 1/2-inch  
F1.4 RGB prism, the DY-70U delivers  
exceptionally sharp pictures. The high-  
resolution DY-70U features 380,000  
effective pixels (768H
ן
493V). JVCs innovative MICRO-  
LENSES, which are supported by a large light shield to  
reduce reflections and light leakages for minimal vertical  
smear, ensure highly efficient light conversion with a  
sensitivity of F11 at 2,000 Lux.

COMPONENT DIGITAL  
The DY-70U is a fully integrated digital camcorder which  
captures, processes, and records only digital signals for  
studio-quality acquisition. The result is sharply improved  
picture sharpness and image quality.  
High-quality 4:2:2 Component  
Digital Recording  
With an extremely mild, perceptually  
lossless 3:3:1 compression ratio and a data rate of 50 Mbps,  
D-9 can capture even the most challenging picture in all its  
splendor without compression artifacts such as pixel noise,  
edge defects, blockiness and multi-generation degradation  
produced when 5:1 compression systems record difficult  
pictures. D-9's low compression intra-frame processing  
ensures beautiful high resolution pictures when cascading  
compression CODECs such as MPEG-2 mastering for DVD.

Highly efficient 50 Mbps intra-frame encoding has emerged as  
the standard reference for mainstream television production.  
To maintain superb picture quality from acquisition to  
production, all D-9 products use a data rate of 50 Mbps.  
600% Wide Dynamic  
Range  
In 1998, a joint SMPTE/EBU task force test results show that  
D-9 provides;  
Multi-stream parallel digital pipeline  
processing at 40 MHz creates an  
ultra-smooth gamma curve  
calculated using a true log scale  
algorithm. The result is a dynamic  
range of 600% to accurately  
reproduce fine details and colors in  
areas of both shadows and  
highlights.

Superior quality to that found in Beta-SP

WIDE DYNAMIC RANGE  
Heavy-duty Tape Transport Mechanism  
with Die-cast Magnesium Chassis  
The heavy-duty tape transport  
system of the DY-70U ensures  
high-quality pictures. Moreover, a  
die-cast magnesium chassis  
ensures durable, rigid support for  
both mechanism and electronics,  
while its integrated drum base  
improves linearity.  
NORMAL  
LOLUX 0.75 Lux  
When activated, the LOLUX mode increases sensitivity with  
almost no increase in noise. LOLUX lets you shoot in low light  
conditions, so you can capture high-quality video footage with  
excellent color balance at just 0.75 lux illumination.  
14-bit Digital Signal Processor  
The DY-70U applies JVCs new  
DSP with advanced 14-bit  
video processing, which brings  
out natural details, eliminates  
spot noise, and accurately  
reproduces dark areas.

Operator Friendly Design  
Compact and Weighs just 15 lbs.  
Full Auto Shooting  
The compact DY-70U weighs only 15 lbs., including lens,  
viewfinder, battery pack, and tape, and that weight is  
carefully balanced for effortless hand-held shooting.  
The Full Auto Shooting Mode provides point-and-shoot  
ease of operation, leaving the operator simply to zoom,  
focus, and press the record button. Activating the Full Auto  
Shooting sets the camera to the Auto Iris Mode, even if the  
lens is set to manual. Also activated is Automatic Video  
Level Control (ALC), along with Extended Electronic Iris  
(EEI) and Full Auto White, which provide both variable gain  
and variable  
Die-cast Magnesium Body  
The DY-70U camcorder features a die-cast magnesium  
body and frame, which offers the benefits of exceptionally  
low weight, but with improved rigidity and durability for  
professional use. It is also  
ergonomically engineered  
for maximum operator  
comfort and utility. It also  
incorporates engineering  
innovations which sharply  
reduce drum noise for  
shutter. So the  
operator can shoot

Black Stretch/Black Compress  
The Black Stretch/Black Compress function enhances or

Time Code Reader/Generator and Time  
Date Generator  
Two SMPTE-standard time code generators digitally record  
independent time code streams in the sub-code area. The  
main time code generator can be preset by the operator or  
slave-locked to an existing time code on the tape, or to an  
external master time code generator for shooting with more  
than one camera. The secondary time code automatically  
records time code data corresponding to date and time of  
day. D-9 editing decks can accurately read both time  
codes at any speed.  
Highlight Chroma Processing  
The DY-70U has built-in Highlight Chroma Processing to  
maintain color saturation in highlights. The result is natural  
color reproduction even in bright highlight portions of the  
picture.

High-quality Audio Reproduction  
Continuous Auto Black (CAB)  
4-channel PCM Audio  
JVCs Continuous Auto Black (CAB) circuit continually  
corrects black balance by sampling a CCDs optical  
black. CAB assures perfect black balance in a changing  
environment without the operator having to interrupt  
shooting.  
The DY-70U has four independently editable, high-quality,  
16-bit, 48 kHz sampling digital audio channels, with a  
dynamic range of more than 80 dB. Audio levels for CH1 and  
CH2 may be displayed on the viewfinder; their respective  
controls are situated up front within easy reach of the  
operator. Each channel may be selectively operated in the  
Auto Mode where a switchable limiter compressor maintains  
high quality automatic level control.  
Automatic Level Control (ALC)  
ALC with Extended Electronic Iris allows continuous  
automatic shooting in all light levels, without the operator  
having to switch gain setting or an ND filter.  
Variable Scan View  
[DA 1] Connector  
[DA 3] Connector  
The Variable Scan View function lets you capture flicker-  
free footage of a video or data display screen that has a  
different scan speed than the camera. The DY-70U has a  
scan speed of 60.1 Hz to 2084.6 Hz.  
Built-in Monitoring  
Speaker  
A side-mounted speaker lets you  
monitor audio in playback and
