The JVC SR-MV55US is a DVD-R/S-VHS/VHS dual deck with RS-232C control capability making it an ideal dubbing deck for government, educational, or professional studio installations looking for quality VHS to DVD archiving capability. The unit is equipped with advanced MPEG encoding for extended record run-times while maintaining deceptively user-friendly controls.

• Super MPEG Processors

When recording from analog sources (S-VHS/VHS or TV input), video noise reduction is applied before MPEG-2 encoding to guarantee superior quality images. Several noise reduction features work together to clean up the image. Block noise reduction cuts "block noise" caused by MPEG-2 compression, Color DigiPure reduces 3D color noise, and Hadamard noise reduction eliminates "mosquito noise" from any DVD.

• RS-232C Interface

An RS-232C control interface equipped with a standard DB9 connector makes it useful for any home-theater or professional application. The built-in RS-232C and wired remote control interfaces allow complete automation of the archiving process and full integration with industry standard remote control equipment.

• Live Memory and Live Check functions

Ideal for school track and field events, "Live Memory" function lets you playback scenes to check any performance. With the DVD-RAM's rewriting capability, video can be recorded from a camcorder to the DVD-RAM, enabling simultaneous recording and playback. Viewing missed scenes will not interrupt the recording. The "Live Check" function displays real-time images in a sub-window.
