Digital Recording

To and from video equipment via i.LINK (digital to digital)

Losslessly dub digital content recorded in HDV 720/30p, SD 480/60p and DV to other JVC HD cameras and

CU-VH1 or D-VHS decks through the i.LINK connection.

The player/recorder also dubs MPEG-2 HDV or SD from copy free D-VHS tapes dubbed previously.

To and from a personal computer

i.LINK and USB connectors provide versatile interfacing with personal computers. Via i.LINK, you can capture HD

and SD MPEG-2 source material on to a computer for playback or non-linear MPEG-2 editing from HDD.

Naturally, DV recordings and digital stills can also be transferred to a computer through i.LINK. You can also

easily drag-and-drop digital stills or other memory card content into a PC through USB cable connection. Since

i.LINK is two-way, you can dub edited video from the computer back to the CU-VH1 as well.

Playback up/down-conversion

The CU-VH1 frame doubles 30 frame-per-second 720/30p HD recordings for viewing on Progressive 720/60p analog HD monitors, or if required, converts 480/60p or 720/30p signals to 1080/60i HD. To view on progressive or NTSC monitors, down convert to either 480/60p or 480/60i. You can connect directly to the latest HDTV displays or regular NTSC monitors or TVs, whichever is available, 16:9 HD, SD or DV footage can be played in 16:9 mode or 4:3 letterbox mode.
