When DV was introduced to the world in 1995, it was an immediate hit with consumers because of its small size and high picture quality. Virtually all Mini DV camcorders then--and still, today--were designed around consumer level camera technology, but with an outstanding digital recording system.
PROFESSIONAL DV is a new line of DV products that combines the economy and performance inherent in DV with truly professional, full-featured, high-quality products. The basic premise of Professional DV is to allow you to Do more, Do it better, and significantly, to do it for less money. It's based on three key facts:
First, the inherent recording quality of all of the 25Mbps DV-based systems is the same--the difference being the camera technology used to produce the images to be recorded, and the feature sets of the cameras and recorders.
Second, that a truly professional camera system and well integrated DV recorder can perform as well or better than the best of the pro DV formats, and significantly better than ANY of the prosumer Mini DV products.
And third, that this system could offer this high performance plus all the benefits of the ubiquitous Mini DV format (wide compatibility, very low tape costs, etc.) at a cost dramatically less than the "pro" formats offered by other manufacturers--essentially bringing professional level performance and features to virtually every videographer, educator, corporate user, producer, broadcaster and even prosumer in the market.
There hasn't been such a system until now. JVC's Professional DV: TRULY PROFESSIONAL DV PRODUCTS THAT DO MORE, DO IT BETTER, AND DO IT FOR LESS MONEY.
