JVC Everio GZMG575

 

The Everio line hard drive camcorders, offer advanced imaging technology and a new level of versatility that allows users to master the art of video storytelling.

Innovations include a new imaging engine, one-touch DVD burning, one-touch back-up to a PC, in-camera editing features, an Everio dock and support for SDHC, the new high-capacity SD card.

In addition, the new flagship GZ-MG575 will produce razor-sharp still images thanks to a 5.37-megapixel CCD, the largest offered in a hard drive/SD camcorder.

Reaffirming its leadership in the hard drive camcorder category, JVC has launched a new line of Everio G Series camcorders that offer improved picture quality, enhanced convenience features and record to either a built-in 30GB hard drive or removable SD card.

The Everio line, the world’s first hard drive camcorders, offers advanced imaging technology and a new level of versatility that allows users to master the art of video storytelling.

 Innovations include a new imaging engine, one-touch DVD burning, one-touch back-up to a PC, in-camera editing features, an Everio dock and support for SDHC, the new high-capacity SD card.

JVC’s newly developed Gigabrid engine improves picture quality throughout the line-up by integrating various noise reduction technologies to increase the signal-to-noise ratio by about 30 percent (3dB) over previous models.

For enhanced convenience, JVC’s Everio camcorders offer a range of new features, including:

• Everio Dock – Everio models include a docking station that the camcorder snaps into. Leave the dock connected to a display, PC or Everio SHARE STATION, and there’s no need to connect cables when transferring files or burning DVDs. The Everio dock also charges the camcorder’s battery;
• One-touch direct DVD burning – a touch of the Direct DVD button is all that’s need to burn footage from the camcorder to a DVD. Newly recorded data will be transferred to the burner;
• Direct Back-Up – One touch back-up of video files to a PC;
• i.LINK (IEEE 1394) output on the Everio dock permits easy dubbing to DVD or hard drive recorders, and allows the footage to be imported by many third party NLE (non-linear editing) applications.

New Everios also offer a new in-camera editing function, which, when combined with other Everio functions, makes it simple to edit and organize files in the camera. New for 2007 is a Partial Delete function that allows a portion of a video file to be saved as a new file, leaving out the unwanted material. To organize files, Everios continue to offer a Playlist function for arranging the sequencing of clips for playback or burning to DVD. Combined with Event Selection, a carryover feature that allows the user to tag clips with an icon representing an event category, Everio now makes it easier than ever to view, edit and burn recordings to DVD.

For users interested in bypassing the fully automatic mode, 2007 Everios offer five shooting modes that are easily selected through the use of an LCD panel graphic that depicts the shooting mode dial found on many still cameras. A push of the camcorder’s stick controller to the left of the display brings up the graphic and modes are easily selected by pushing the control stick up or down. The stick controller also provides easy access to other menu settings and playback controls.

Also new for 2007 is the Quick Restart mode, which when engaged allows recording to start about one second after re-opening the LCD.

All Everio G Series camcorders continue to offer an SD card slot as an alternative to the hard drive for storing video and still recordings. New for 2007 is SDHC compatibility so they can handle the new generation of higher capacity cards. In addition, all Everio G Series camcorders have USB mass storage compatibility.

For burning Everio footage directly to a DVD, JVC offers the optional CU-VD20 SHARE STATION, a DVD burner that eliminates the need for a PC when creating DVDs. The new CU-VD20, which can be used to create DVD Video discs or digital still data discs, connects directly to the Everio camcorder or the Everio dock via a USB 2.0 connection. DVD burning is a simple three-step process that is controlled from the camcorder, converting Everio video files automatically for playback on most DVD players.

For editing and archiving footage, Everio camcorders come with a complete software suite. For Windows PCs, JVC includes CyberLink’s PowerCinema™ NE for Everio for browsing camera content and enabling Direct DVD/Direct Back-Up functions, PowerProducer™ 3 NE easy DVD burning, and PowerDirector™ 5 NE Express for editing.
