JVC GR-DVL157 ... unique Digital NightScope function for dark scene shooting. Adding special effects and scene transitions is easy during both recording and playback using the included multi-brand remote control. And if you're ready to explore the exciting world of multimedia, on-board ports are provided for direct connection with a PC.

The Super High-Band Processor intelligently calculates and restores the high-band components of the luminance signal that would be lost in conventional processing. This ensures extremely high horizontal resolution. With enhanced low-light sensitivity, JVC's exclusive Digital NightScope function allows you to capture clear, bright images at night without loss of color associated with other night-shooting systems. Without relying on infrared rays as do similar systems, Digital NightScope uses the camera's normal optical system. As a result, the image you shoot is always in color, and there's no limit on shooting range. The GR-DVL157 is provided with a DV terminal for fast, lossless digital transfer to a computer, as well as for dubbing to another DV unit in native DV format.
