I f you’re looking for a camera that does it all and does
it better, look no further. With an advanced camera
section featuring an AIS lens and a Progressive Scan
CCD, these versatile cameras produce the best possible
quality images whether you’re shooting high-resolution
digital video or UXGA digital stills. If serious performance
is what you want, choose the GR-DV2000/1800.

ltra-high resolution video
and megapixel digital stills —
uncompromised performance for video enthusiasts
Progressive Scan CCD with Progressive Colour Filter —
520 lines of horizontal by 576 lines of vertical
JVC has employed an advanced array of picture-improvement technologies to ensure superb image quality. The backbone of these
technologies is a progressive scan CCD which provides extremely high resolution – recording images ideal for playback, printing,
or capturing to a computer. JVC’s progressive colour filter works in
tandem with the progressive scan CCD to provide increased sensitivity
and picture quality by raising vertical resolution to 576
lines (in Progressive mode).
Dual Shooting Mode
Lets you shoot motion video and still pictures simultaneously. Just push the Snapshot button in the Dual mode and a VGA still
picture is recorded on the SD Memory Card or MultiMediaCard while you continue taping video. You can take a snapshot any time
without stopping video recording so you’ll never miss any action even while shooting a still.
Interlace scanning Progressive scanning
Each line is processed individually,
resulting in higher vertical resolution. Neighbouring lines are combined and
processed.

UXGA (1600 x 1200) 1.92 Megapixel Digital Stills with Pixel Shift Technology
A combination of JVC’s AIS (Accurate Image Shift) Lens and 800K-pixel Progressive Scan CCD makes this possible. In this mode,
for each shot, the image is first sampled with all the pixels in their usual locations, and within a split second, the image is
double-exposed while shifting diagonally 1/2-pixel’s worth. This pixel shift technology, along with JVC’s unique interpolation method,
is able to generate a UXGA-size picture with 1600 x 1200-pixel resolution — the same 1.92 megapixel image size you’d get with the
high-grade digital still cameras.
Note: Only optical zoom (2x max.) is possible in UXGA mode. In cases where there is
excessive camera-shake or with certain low-contrast images, a single exposure will be
processed to generate a UXGA picture. First Exposure Second Exposure Resized Output
