JVC announced a couple of days ago, the development of the a new LSI for 2D/3D compact camcorder that should bring amazing quality jump by offering Full HD 60p, 3D an 4K2K video wonder. Built on 40nm manufacturing processes, this new LSI offers a 2.7x performance jump over JVC’s previous-generation chip model.
This new generation single-chip LSI is also cheaper to produce and will offer a 40% drop in power consumption compare to previous model.

Now if only JVC could build-up something with this LSI capable to match Canon’s all Mighty 5D MK II video performances I will immediately ditch my beloved DLSR when it comes to shoot videos.

JVC DLA-SH7NLG 4K2K projector costs a bomb

At one glance, you can tell that the JVC DLA-SH7NLG 4K2K projector will not target the average consumer, partly because it ships with a $150,00 price point, while the other valid points would be its ability to display two or four screens in WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) resolution simultaneously. Apart from that, hardware specifications include 5,000 ANSI lumens brightness, more than 10,000:1 contrast ratio, and dual 330W UHP lamps with the option to select single or dual lamp operation. Interestingly enough, you can stack two projectors for 3D images – now how about that! Connectivity options include four DVI-D inputs, RS-232 port, an Ethernet LAN port and a USB connector.

JVC ships low-light capable, 1080p Everio HM1

After missing its original March target, JVC on Tuesday said it had started shipping the Everio GZ-HM1. It captures at a native 1080p but specializes in capturing in low light; its 10.6-megapixel, back-illuminated CMOS sensor works in lighting as dim as four lux and can use light sensitivity as high as ISO 6,400. As a semi-pro camera, the HM1 gets manual controls over aperture, bracketing and shutter speed where useful.

The new Everio has a true 10X optical zoom and captures 10-megapixel stills as well as slow-motion video up to 600FPS at lower resolutions. All moving footage is captured in AVCHD (H.264) and can be exported either to sites like YouTube or a movie editor like iMovie without requiring transcoding. A large 64GB of flash storage is built-in and is supported by an SDHC slot for another 32GB.

Pricing hasn’t changed on the camera since it was unveiled in January, as it should cost $1,200.

JVC GY-HM790 ProHD camcorder makes us wish we had video skills

Alright, so most of us would be served best by a humble Xacti rather than JVC’s stonking new GY-HM790 ProHD camcorder, but you’ll have to forgive us for drooling just a little.  The latest flagship in the company’s performance range, the GY-HM790 squeezes in three 1/3-inch CCDs for up to 35Mbps 1920 x 1080 HD video recording, storing footage on twin SDHC Class 6/10 memory card slots.

There’s a 4.3-inch LCD preview display, two XLR audio inputs and the ability to record in native Apple Final Cut .mov format for easier editing.  Still, none of this comes cheap: expect to pay $11,995 for the JVC GY-HM790 ProHD (complete with a Canon 14x HD ENG lens) when it arrives this Summer, or more again for the upcoming low-light version.

New JVC 4K D-ILA Projector boasts 10,000:1 contrast ratio, multi-screen projection

There are also three different types of lens offered, including short-focus and telescopic.
