Weird company, JVC. In the early 80s, they made a comparatively tiny
3-tube camera for access studios, the BY-110U, about 5k with camera,
lens, CCU, EVF, rear controls, cable. Cheesy color rendition, dodgy
electrostatic focus, hard to register and often in need of internal
tweaking. But after about 1 year, the tweakable controls have reached
the end of their capacity. Head tech for the company bought about 200
of them for the eastern Region, nearly all replaced by Sony DXC-3000As
by 1988!
A few years back, I was looking for a cheap digital tape format, and a
JVC salesman tried to talk me into their DV edit decks. Can they do
real edits? Yes. Can you do audio and video insert edits? No. Well then
WTF are you calling them edit decks???
