Camera technology matures at NAB 2002

JVC Professional Products will present as its main attraction the Streamcoder, a broadcaster-quality DV camcorder that can record both on tape and in digital memory and, simultaneously, send the video to the internet. At a cost of less than $4,000, the new GY-DV300 offers a number of professional features such as 12-bit processing, color focus viewfinder, wide-angle lens adapter, and two XLR microphone inputs. It also has a remote control. The KA-DV300U additional package for the network (at a cost of US$ 1,299), connects to the bottom of the camcorder and allows the pietaje to be sent directly to the internet or sent via wireless connection to a receiver.

Those visiting Las Vegas in April will find a slightly smaller variety of tools, but they are tailored to both their specific needs and budgets.
