May 15th 2004 | Australia JVC Launches Slim design DVD Recorder - DR-M10
JVC – the specialist in home video recording - is introducing a comprehensive line-up of top-tier, multi-format DVD recorders in 2004. As the inventor of VHS, the world’s first HDD video recorder (HM-HDS1) and the world’s first HD recorder (D-VHS), JVC is proud to release the DR-M10 – Multi-format Progressive Scan DVD Recorder. Recording and playback of JVC-trademark high-quality pictures is possible with versatile compatible formats and an array of user-friendly functions. The DR-M10 delivers solid, high-resolution PAL/NTSC progressive (625P/525P) pictures. JVC provides multi-format flexibility for both recording and playback. All you have to do is select the system best suited to your needs. The DR-M10 permits recording and playback in DVD-RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RAM formats, and playback of DVD-Video, MP3, JPEG, and CD formats for further convenience. JVC is also offering FULL 3 YEAR WARRANTY on their DVD recorder – including the laser. JVC-Exclusive Technologies for Recording and Playback of High-Quality PicturesWith the new DR-M10 DVD recorder, JVC's extensive expertise in the area of video technologies is optimally applied to deliver high-quality pictures. A JVC-exclusive technology tandem -- Super MPEG Encode Pre- and Post- Processors -- improve picture quality both in recording and playback. This results in the highest-possible resolution with minimal MPEG compression noise, even when pictures are recorded in long-time modes at reduced bit rates. The DR-M10 is equipped with technologies for presenting solid, natural, high-resolution pictures in progressive format. Motion Active Progressive Scan Output intelligently generates a progressive scan signal from interlaced scan sources, such as TV programmes recorded on DVD. For movie sources, JVC's exclusive Digital Direct Progressive Scan technology enables the units to deliver progressive pictures without interlacing the original pictures. User-Friendly FeaturesThe new DVD recorder also showcases a number of advanced user-friendly functions. One key feature is easy access to recorded programmes. The JVC DR-M10 can memorise data from up to 1,300 programmes -- and the recorders can actually tell you which disc to load to view a particular show. After you load a disc, ‘animated thumbnails’ further ensure easy access. When you choose the thumbnail of a recorded title, it begins to move with sound, making it easier to select recorded content. JVC has also simplified the timer recording processes. On-Disc Timer Programming lets you complete timer setting simply by loading a disc -- you can pre-programme the desired content for timed recording directly onto the DVD disc. Simultaneous recording and playback of TV programmes, available with DVD-RAM, offers functionality similar to that of a hard disk drive. Additionally, the i.LINK input terminal allows for dubbing and editing of MiniDV video camera content. The high-resolution Graphical User Interface (GUI), with easy-to-follow icons and legible letters, also enhances ease of use. News Release Supplement DR-M10DVD Video Recorder Recording and Playback Technologies for Superior Picture QualityThe Super MPEG Encode Pre-Processor ensures superior image quality when recording from analogue by effectively reducing noise before MPEG-2 encoding takes place. It's a 3-step process:- Time Base Corrector (TBC) eliminates jitter contained in analogue input signals- Frame Synchroniser corrects frame crossover jitter and processes any deviant frames- Motion Active Noise Reduction system reduces the noise of moving pictures by precisely detecting the motion and applying the algorithm between the moving pixels. This selective noise reduction ensures that encoded images -- especially moving subjects that are likely to draw the viewer's attention -- are free of edge smear and image lag. The Super MPEG Post-Processor works to reduce picture playback noise, also in 3-step process:- Block Noise Reduction circuit reduces annoying 'block noise' caused by MPEG-2 compression.- Colour DigiPure conducts 3D noise reduction and enhances colour and detail to provide sharp yet natural pictures.- Hadamard Noise Reduction system eliminates 'mosquito noise'. JVC’s DR-M10 DVD Recorder can produce PAL/NTSC Progressive (625p/525P) signals from any DVD being played. Motion Active Progressive Scan Output generates a progressive scan signal from interlaced sources, such as TV programmes recorded on DVD. Digital Direct Progressive Scan Output delivers the original progressive data – such as a movie on pre-recorded DVD -- without converting to interlaced data, so there is no quality loss and the picture remains true to the original film source. Long-time Recording with High Resolution Pictures(DVD-RAM/DVD-RW VR Format)With the JVC DR-M10, recording time can be flexibly adjusted depending on the length of content or the desired picture quality. There are four recording modes, which respectively allow about 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours of recording on a single disc. Unique is the units' ability to maintain high resolution pictures even over extended recording periods. With conventional DVD recorders, image quality can become degraded with long recordings, due to the trade-off between reducing noise and maintaining resolution. With the JVC recorder, however, the recorder attenuates MPEG noise while maintaining a high horizontal resolution. In the 3-hour recording mode (FR180), for example, the unit maintains 400-line high resolution, as compared with about 250 lines for recorders using conventional technologies. The XP mode offers optimum picture quality at approximately 500 lines ofresolution. To assure recordings that fit precisely on the disc while offering the best possible quality, you can also manually adjust the sampling rate from among 63 steps (up to 8-hours of recording in FR480 mode), or set the deck to record a programme on a blank or partially recorded disc with automatic sampling rate optimisation. Library Database DVD Navigation and Animated Thumbnail(DVD-RAM/DVD-RW VR Format)JVC’s DR-M10 can memorise information from up to 1,300 programmes, including such information as titles, disc numbers, and recording dates, and when you choose one, the player tells you which disc to load. Once loaded, thumbnail pictures of recorded programmes are displayed. And when you select a thumbnail, it becomes animated --complete with sound – for easy programme content recognition. On-Disc Timer Programming(DVD-RAM/DVD-RW VR Format)With the DR-M10, desired content can be pre-programmed directly to the disc for timed recording, which means that setting the recording timer is as simple as loading a disc. This is a particularly useful function for recording a TV series or other content all to the same disc. Conventional timer programming is also available. Live Memory (DVD-RAM)DVD-RAM’s superior rewriting capability allows Simultaneous Recording & Playback -- just like a Hard Disk Drive. Play scenes you missed without stopping current recording or having to wait until the end. Since the scene being recorded in real-time can be displayed in a window using the Live Check function, you’ll know exactly when to stop recording. i.LINK ConnectionThe DR-M10 comes with an i.LINK terminal, which enables digital connectivity with other equipment including MiniDV video cameras. The input DV signal is directly converted to MPEG-2 format — a digital-to-digital conversion that ensures high-quality images with less noise, less loss, and highly accurate details. This connection also lets you control the DV unit through the i.LINK cable, using the DVD recorder's remote so you won’t have to bother with using two sets of controls. |
