HD Gigabrid Engine for Optimum HD Images

The GZ-HD3 offers HD recording with 1440x1080i resolution. 

These HD pictures are extremely fine and detailed, containing about 

4 times the visual information of conventional SD (Standard Definition)

pictures. With a 60GB built-in hard disk drive you can record up to

seven hours of HD video (SP mode), plus you get two additional

recording modes to select according to your requirements.

The HD lens of the GZ-HD3 was developed by camera specialist,

KONICA MINOLTA, to ensure optimal lens performance for use with

our 3-CCD image sensor and MPEG2 recording technology. The

result is an extremely detailed picture with clear contrast and strong

presence throughout the image – the type of stable and consistent

performance that becomes essential when recording images at HD

specifications.

7 Hours of HD Recording and 3 Recording Modes

Common to both the GZ-HD7 and GZ-HD3, this new image 

processing engine has been designed specifically for HD Everio to

process 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

the vertical resolution by about 30%. It’s at the heart of JVC's HD

recording system.

High Definition, Nice and Simple. 

Our compact GZ-HD3 fits the enormous benefits of HD recording into a 
user-friendly camcorder that fits your active lifestyle.
