JVC's HR-DVS3U blends MiniDV recording and playback abilities with high-quality S-VHS and standard VHS recording and playback, providing the utmost in flexibility, convenience, and economy. The HR-DVS3U can be used to enjoy MiniDV camcorder cassettes, to perform MiniDV to S-VHS/VHS dubbing, and to perform digital archiving (S-VHS/VHS to MiniDV). You can also use it as a computer peripheral for nonlinear editing.
JVC's DigiPure Technology (with 2 MB frame memory) is a suite of features including Super VHS ET recording with a TBC (Time Base Corrector) that digitally removes jitter from fluctuating video signals to deliver a stable picture, even on old tapes. TBC eliminates color distortion caused by jitter in the color signal, too. You also get PCM digital audio (with MiniDV recording) and hi-fi VHS stereo.
The HR-DVS3U offers front- and rear-panel S-video inputs and two rear-panel S-video outputs. The unit provides 500 lines of horizontal resolution with the DV format and over 400 lines of horizontal resolution with Super VHS. In addition, the system provides easy editing, one-touch dubbing, VCR Plus with cable box control, express programming, and a 1-year/6-event programmable timer. Other cool features include audio dubbing, auto index and index search, and a one-year/12-event timer (six events each for MiniDV and S-VHS/VHS).
