HD Gigabrid Engine for Optimum HD Images
Developed specifically for HD Everio, this new image processing engine processes the CCD image as a progressive scan signal. This provides the maximum image information to work with, regardless of the actual recording mode that is used. Also integrated into the chip are five digital noise reduction technologies that collaborate to improve vertical resolution by about 30% from previous JVC Standard Definition camcorders. It's at the heart of JVC's HD recording system.
60GB Hard Disk Drive Built-in — No Tapes or Discs to Reload
High-capacity HDD to record video and still images. Internal media means no need to buy additional discs and tapes. Since it's HDD, you can directly access the scene you want and delete the scene you don't want on the spot. Also, there's no risk of erasing previous recordings by mistake.
Hybrid Design with SD/SDHC Memory Card
In addition to a built-in 60GB hard disk drive, HD Everio also has a slot for SD/SDHC Memory Card so you can store videos (SP mode only) and stills on this commonly available memory card.
