Featuring Direct DVD Function*1, Worlds First in the Industry*2
Victor Company of Japan, Limited (JVC) today announced the upcoming release of the Everio GZ-MG77 (hard disk capacity of 30GB) and GZ-MG67 (hard disk capacity of 20GB), the latest models in the Everio Series of hard disk camcorders. They feature a new Direct DVD Function*1, an industry first*2, which works with a dedicated DVD writer to allow easy and speedy recording of video from the hard disk directly onto a 12-cm DVD, without using a personal computer. The new models continue with the large-capacity hard disk drive that made the Everio Series so popular, with its extended recording time (seven hours and 10 minutes of DVD-quality video, or up to 37.5 hours of extended recording*3,) and random access capability that lets the user quickly and easily select any scene to watch using thumbnail images. The camcorders also come with new features such as the Direct DVD Function, an F1.2 lens, brightest in the industry*2, and a wide-format LCD monitor. Moreover, this next-generation camcorder is more compact and lightweight than ever, provides quicker data transfer to personal computers, and eliminates the need for using and replacing tapes, discs, or other kinds of media while shooting.

High-speed transfer of one hour of video data to a personal computer in about five minutes*6, fastest in the industry*2 The newly developed USB host/device controller LSI links to a personal computer through a USB 2.0 terminal for high-speed transfer of one hour of video data (about 4GB in ultra fine mode) in just about five minutes.

*6 JVC trial measurement. Transfer time can vary depending on the personal computer performance and the connection environment.
5. Event Search Function for easy video footage searches A new Event Search Function uses 30 icons*7 to classify video data scenes by topic, such as vacation, sports festivals, etc. It facilitates quick searches for the right video among the vast number of video recordings that can be stored on the large-capacity hard disk. Moreover, the dedicated DVD writer CU-VD10 (sold separately) can use the Event Search Function store video material on 12-cm DVDs.
*7 A total of 30 icons in 10 categories (vacations, sports festivals, weddings, children, pets, parties, leisure activities, business, sports, and public events).
6. Two key technologies*8 for hard disk protection Floating damper mechanism: The hard disk is surrounded by a shock-absorbing gel that serves as a cushion against vibrations and impacts. Three-dimensional acceleration sensor: A built-in sensor automatically detects gravity force acceleration when the camcorder has been dropped, and shuts off the power to protect the hard disk.
*8 The hard disk is not guaranteed against damage from all possible shocks or drops.
