LAN connection can be via LAN cable or wireless RF LAN card
As the GY-DV300E / GY-DV301E captures images, it automatically generates MPEG4 files that are sent to the Internet in real time. Viewers can see those streams in real time simply by accessing the specified IP address on their PC. Ideal for any type of live event weddings, concerts, conferences   and even news reports.
The GY-DV-300E / GY-DV301E sends your images around the world instantly. Economical and easy to set up, the GY-DV300E /  GY-DV301E makes it easy for students to attend lectures via the Internet.
Streaming software ("Streamproducer") is provided with the KA-DV300U, allowing up to four  GY-DV300E / GY-DV301E's to be connected to a single PC and switched them as required before streaming.

Basic Streaming System With the KA-DV300U network pack installed on the GY-DV300E / GY-DV301E and a PCMCIA card fitted inside the pack, the camcorder can connect to a PC via a wired/wireless LAN. Installing the ‘Streamproducer” software in the PC allows up to four GY-DV300E / GY-DV301Es to be connected and switched via the PC.

Create a Publishing Point for Distribution
Images and sound captured with the GY-DV300E / GY-DV301E's can be streamed as MPEG4 tiles via the PCMCIA card to the PC. The MPEG4 tiles are then processed by Streamproducer and made available for viewing on the Internet.
When viewers access the publishing point IP address, they can play back the MPEG4 files with the Media Player on their PC. Streams of up to 15 fps (352 x 288) are assured.

Powerful 3-CCD Imaging, 12-bit ABC, 12-bit DSP and 14x zoom lens combine to give superior performance

3-CCD prism camera for high quality picture

To ensure the best possible image quality, the GY-DV300E / GY-DV301E incorporates three 1/3" CCDs each of 470,000 pixels (440,000 effective). Each CCD attaches to highly advanced circuitry which virtually eliminates vertical smear when shooting bright lights in a dark room. Lag and image burn are also reduced to indiscernible levels while high sensitivity (F11 at 2000 lux) assures creative flexibility and simplifies lighting requirements

Newly developed 12-bit ADC* and 12-bit DSP**
	The 12-bit ADC directly inputs to the DSP, thus eliminating any signal degradation otherwise arising from the analogue pre-gain and pre-knee circuits. In addition, JVC's new DSP with advanced 12-bit video processing brings out all the natural details, eliminates noise, and gives good gamma response and so reproduces clear detail from dark areas. *ADC: Analogue Digital Converter  **DSP: Digital Signal Processor
400% Dynamic Range An ultra-smooth gamma curve, calculated with a true log scale algorithm, produces a dynamic range of 400%, thus giving totally accurate reproduction of fine details and subtle colours right across the picture, including any shadowed or highlighted areas.
14x zoom lens Both auto and manual control of focus and iris are available. The handle zoom speed can be adjusted and the large diameter focus ring ensures smooth, accurate focusing.  An optical image stabiliser (inner focus) helps stabilise images, especially zoomed-in close-ups.
LOLUX 2.65 lux (100% video out)
	When activated, the LOLUX mode increases sensitivity with almost zero increase in noise. LOLUX increases the gain by 16x (+24 dB) so you can capture high quality video footage with excellent colour balance in low-light conditions.
Optical Image Stabiliser
To minimise jittery images when shooting with the handhold GY-DV300E / GY-DV301E, an optical mage stabiliser can be switched in.
AE (automatic exposure) function
Brightness is managed automatically by a combination of the gain, shutter speed and iris control.
Full auto shooting
With the GY-DV300E / GY-DV301E set to Auto the shutter speed, gain, white balance, audio record level and optional image stabiliser all automatically self-adjust according to the shooting conditions. Picture quality can be adjusted manually, with individual settings available for master black, detail,  DTL frequency, V resolution, auto knee, black and colour matrix.
Widescreen (letterbox) and 4:3 aspect ratios
The screen can be switched between 4:3 and widescreen, allowing signals to be recorded in the desired aspect ratio.
Wide-angle and telephoto lens converters
For telephoto and wide-angle shooting, without sacrificing lens performance, telephoto and wide-angle lens converter accessories are available
One-push auto focus and one-push auto iris
When the focus or iris switch is set to MANUAL, the Auto Focus mode or Auto Iris mode can be engaged by pressing & holding the  PUSH AUTO FOCUS or PUSH AUTO IRIS button
Cinema Gamma
An S Shaped gamma curve mode can be selected which gradually changes gradations in the areas of dark and high-brightness. This will provide film-like colour gradations in the recorded images.
Reliable Recording System for high quality MiniDV pictures and PCM audio
MiniDV recording system with SP and LP mode
	The GY-DV300E / GY-DV301E combines the convenience and affordability of MiniDV with the high-qualify camera performance needed for professional use. Upto 80 minutes* of high-qualify 8-bit, 13.5 MHz, 4:2:0 DV component digital images can be recorded on a single MiniDV tape, assuring high quality, non-degradable images needed for top results in post-production editing, Impressive horizontal resolution of 500 lines is achieved when signals are played back via DV output. The high-qualify SP mode and up to 90-minute ** recording LP mode are also available, depending on your requirements. * With an M-DV80 tape  ** The LP mode can be used only with a tape of 63 minutes duration or less.
Blank Search
An unrecorded section of the tape, such as at the end point of a recording, is detected. The GY-DV300E / GY-DV301E enters the Stop mode at that point.
Audio Recording Level Adjust
Audio recording level can be adjusted to minimise extraneous noise picked up by the microphone. Audio recording levels for channels 1 and 2 can be set either manually or automatically.
	High-quality PCM audio To complement the superior pictures, the GY-DV300E / GY-DV301E offers outstanding digital PCM sound. You can choose from two 16-bit 48-kHz channels or two 12-bit, 32-kHz channels with a dynamic range of more than 71 dB.
