Composite Viewfinder
Output Plans
for JVC Viewfinders
(such as included with the JVC-GYDV500)
For the shooting of the all-digital feature movie "SECRET MESSAGES", our primary camera was the JVC-GYDV500. A great camera, but one problem is that there is no way to easily output the set-up items, safe area screen, and other information that can be viewed on the viewfinder. Now, these items are clearly displayed in the viewfinder, but if you want to see them on a monitor, you're out of luck. That's why we came up with these plans.
