The camera shoots Full HD 1920 x 1080/60p video at 36Mbps, a bit rate that allows Full HD slow-motion playback, perfect for motion analysis or special effects. Premium performance is further assured by the fast F1.2 lens with 10x optical zoom, 1/2.3” 12.8 megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor and optical image stabilization. Multi-format recording offers the flexibility to choose the HD format that best suits the situation.

Five shooting speeds are available, ranging from 120fps to 600fps, easily selected using a dial conveniently located next to the lens. It’s also possible to grab bursts of nine still images from video at the touch of a button, similar to what can be done using the motor drive on an SLR still camera. Other shooting modes for capturing action include high-speed digital still recording at up to 60fps and variable speed time-lapse recording. Zoom Position Memory, ideal for analyzing sports plays, allows quick switching among three angles of view — Full Wide, Full Tele, and a user-settable position in between. Go from full field team formation analysis to a tight shot of a goal being scored, with instant switching of focus, zoom and exposure.

With Wi-Fi connectivity, video and images can be wirelessly sent to and viewed on a smartphone or tablet. And for coaches and others with an interest in analyzing an athlete’s performance, the free “JVC CAM Coach” app for iOS and Android allow annotations to be made on the playback image. Flaws in an athlete’s form can be noted by drawing on the screen and easily seen by both coach and athlete using the large screen a tablet provides, and without the need to disturb the camera setup. There’s also Twin View, which enables simultaneous side-by-side playback of two different video clips after they’re transferred to a tablet, for comparative viewing. A Tagging function allows scenes to be tagged for easy access at any time, and the Scoring function allows the user to record a running tally of a game score as it progresses by tapping on a smartphone.

The GC-PX100 was designed for fast, easy handling, with an SLR-type body and all key controls and functions conveniently placed for intuitive operation. A three-inch tiltable LCD monitor allows high and low angle recording, and an LCD monitor hood is included. An optional color viewfinder is available.

The JVC GC-PX100 is available now for $999.95.

The new headphones feature the series’ signature rugged styling, high gloss finish and durable construction, plus heavy-duty Neodymium driver units and Extreme Deep Bass Ports, that together have made the XX series by JVC a favorite among music fans who like their bass delivered with a punch.

New for 2013 is a one-button remote and microphone compatible with iPhone, Blackberry and Android devices. Three models – HA-MR77X/HA-MR55X/HA-SR44X – include this feature, as well as a Smart Switch that allows for compatibility with most other smart phones. The microphone is housed in the inline single-button remote that allows users to play, stop and skip tracks, as well as answer phone calls. Two of the five new models are available without the remote and mic – the HA-M55X and HA-S44X.

Full range sound quality is assured through the use of extra-large neodymium driver unit –1.57” (40mm) for the on-ear HA-S44X/HA-SR44X; 1.97” (50mm) for the over-ear HA-M55X/HA-MR55X; and 2.24” (57mm) for the DJ-style over-ear HA-MR77X. The combination of the large driver units and the Extreme Deep Bass Ports is what gives the headphones their ability to reproduce deep bass.

All XX Series headphones have been designed for comfort and excellent sound isolation – keeping outside sounds at bay while also preventing audio from leaking and disturbing those nearby. The padded headbands and soft ear pads allow the headphones to be worn comfortably even for extended listening sessions. For DJs, the HA-MR77X features a flip-up design that allows for easy hands-free monitoring in one ear. When not in use, the headphones can be folded away for ease of portability.

The cables and plugs are robust and built to last. The HA-MR77X features a DJ-friendly single-sided 3.6mm-thick, 3.94 ft. (1.2m) pure copper cable, while the HA-MR55X/HA-M55X/HA-SR44X/HA-S44X sport a sturdy 3.94 ft. (1.2m) Y-type cable of Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) for maximum audio fidelity from source to ear. All models have gold-plated 3.5mm stereo straight plugs.

JVC’s tough rubber protectors continue in this latest series of XX by JVC, and the distinctive look gets a high gloss makeover for 2013, with some added styling to meet the demand of today’s fashion minded music fans.

All the new XX models are available now at the following prices:

The new JVC GV-LS2 and GV-LS1 combine the video performance of a top-quality conventional camcorder with the unmanned capabilities of a high-end security camera and roll them into a compact device with Wi-Fi and remote control.

The JVC GV‐LS2 and GV‐LS1 live streaming cameras offer a number of advantages over other types of streaming cameras. Their pan/tilt/zoom operation can be controlled remotely from a PC or smart device, and is quiet compared to gear‐driven mechanisms. This silent operation in the GV‐LS2 is achieved through the use of low‐noise DD motors to move the camera, while the GV‐LS1 pans/tilts/zooms electronically. Android and iOS apps for remote operation are available for free download.

At the heart of both models is a 1/2.3” 12.4 Megapixel Back‐Illuminated CMOS sensor and JVC’s FALCONBRID high‐speed image processing engine, which allows Full HD quality to be maintained even when only part of the entire image is used for lossless image stabilization (both models) or pan/tilt (GV‐LS1). The GV‐LS1 maintains Full HD resolution at up to 2x zoom, but is capable of up to 4x electronic zoom. The GV‐LS2 offers 10x optical zoom. This makes both models an ideal way to stream images and sound from live events as they are unobtrusive and won’t intrude on the performance. Besides HD streaming, both models offer Full HD quality AVCHD video recording onto an inserted memory card.

Built‐in Wi‐Fi makes wireless streaming and remote operation possible, plus it also allows system expansion by adding a Wi‐Fi router for multi‐camera control of up to four cameras”. Direct Wi‐Fi operation of a single camera is also possible without a router or hotspot. In addition to an internal stereo microphone, there’s a MIC input for connecting an external microphone.

The GV‐LS2 delivers outstanding performance with its F1.2 10x optical zoom lens and servo‐driven pan/tilter, while the GV‐LS1 is designed to handle more adventurous situations with electronic pan/tilting, splash‐proof body compliant to IPX3 standards, and optional external battery drive support.

The GV-LS2 and GV-LS1 are available immediately for $999.95 and $799.95, respectively.

Auto Wind Cut intelligently reduces wind noise without that annoying unnatural muting of sound. The GZ-VX815 goes even further with an F1.2 Super Bright Lens and 12 Megapixel stills. There’s also a powerful two-hour battery for longer recording and streaming. JVC engineers have also redesigned Everio’s Wi-Fi antenna to provide a drastically improved powerful wireless connection over last year’s models.

For ease-of-use, all new Everio camcorders feature a “Best Play” function that provides simple digest playback of the best scenes from recorded footage. This is actually a cluster of functions comprised of Best Scene Mode, which allows tagging of favorite scenes while recording or later on, Best Face Mode, which automatically picks out scenes containing registered faces, and Best Smile Mode which picks out just the scenes containing great smiles. Also new is Sports Scoring, a function that lets the user record a running tally of the score for a sporting event by simply tapping on a smartphone.

All Everio Wi-Fi models come with LoiLoFit software. Powerful video editing is possible with timeline editing, transition effects, trimming, text insert, BGM insertion and various decoration effects. Intuitive drag-and-drop operation makes using the software easy for even the casual user.

The Everio GZ-E100 and GZ-E300 are available this month. The rest of the Everio line will be available in February.  Prices are:

A short-body design that is 30% shallower than standard DIN size receivers will be incorporated into the entry-level KD-X200, allowing for unconventional installations where space may be an issue, such as on ATVs or motorcycles. A lighter and more compact digital media receiver also uses less carton packaging to help save on shipping costs and storage space.

For the first time on all three navigation systems, JVC Mobile Entertainment has streamlined its smartphone integration to include Android phone support via Bluetooth® serial port profile (SPP) and control for Pandora® and iHeartRadio apps (Spring 2013). Continuing from last year’s models, iPhone® users will still be able to connect to the same apps using a USB connection. New for 2013, The HD Radio™ network has been enhanced with the industry’s first digital Active Alerts, which allows drivers to receive real-time weather advisories directly on the navigation system’s display.

All three new models are SiriusXM-Ready™ and are capable of receiving SiriusXM’s expanded commercial-free music, sports and comedy channel lineup as well as SiriusXM Latino, a suite of Spanish-language programming.

CEA INNOVATIONS AWARD 2013 (KW-NT810HDT)

JVC has been named an International CES Innovations 2013 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree for the top-end KW-NT810HDT Navigation Receiver. Products entered in this prestigious program are judged by a preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, engineers and members of the media to honor outstanding design and engineering in cutting edge consumer electronics products across 29 product categories.

The prestigious Innovations Design and Engineering Awards are sponsored by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)®, the producer of the International CES, the world’s largest consumer technology tradeshow, and have been recognizing achievements in product design and engineering since 1976.

HD RADIO™ ACTIVE ALERTS (KW-NT510HDT, KW-NT810HDT)

JVC has taken the HD Radio™ package with iHeartRadio music streaming services and added Active Alerts, an industry first. The Active Alerts feature displays federal government alert service in text form on the navigation screen to alert drivers the instant an emergency or severe weather alert is issued and help keep them informed wherever they are. Total Traffic Network also provides real-time traffic updates, sports, entertainment, weather and news information on-screen with a free lifetime subscription on compatible in-dash receivers. Both the KW-NT510HDT and the KW-NT810HDT will come standard with two HD Radio™ tuners: One for Total Traffic Network with HD Radio™ and Active Alerts and the other for audio station tuning.

SiriusXM Ready™ (KW-NT310, KW-NT510HDT, KW-NT810HDT)

Additionally, all three new models are SiriusXM-Ready™ and offer the capability of receiving SiriusXM’s commercial-free music, premier sports talk and live events, comedy, news and exclusive talk and entertainment, and SiriusXM Latino, the most comprehensive Latin music, sports and talk programming in radio. SiriusXM programming is received through the SXV200 SiriusXM Connect Vehicle Tuner Kit (sold separately, SiriusXM subscription required).  The SXV200 is a compact solution that can be mounted behind the dashboard and connects directly to the receiver using one simple cable. It is also plug and play – there are no translators or tuner programming required.

iHeartRadio (KW-NT310, KW-NT510HDT, KW-NT810HDT)

New receiver models will have wireless access to the iHeartRadio app on Android smart phones through a Bluetooth® serial port profile (SPP) along with iPhone® and iPod® users via USB connection. The KW-NT310, KW-NT510HDT and the KW-NT810HDT units, along with access to more than 1,500 live radio stations, will allow iHeartRadio users the ability to create custom stations inspired by a song users are listening to, save favorite stations for easy future listening and access stations saved from other devices via “My Stations.” These new receivers will also allow iHeartRadio listeners to utilize the app’s social sharing functions and thumb-up or thumb-down songs on custom stations.  This app can be easily accessed on the mobile device as well as on the head unit and will be available for download in Spring 2013 from the respective cell phone manufacturers’ app stores.

NaviBridge  (KW-NT310, KW-NT510HDT, KW-NT810HDT)

All new three navigation units will work with the NaviBridge app for iPhone® using a USB connection and Android phones with a Bluetooth® connection. This free app lets users search for points of interest then transfers the GPS coordinates to the head unit to use for turn-by-turn navigation. New for 2013, the application is now designed to work with Android phones, which previously only worked with iPhones. NaviBridge will also work with popular social-networking sites to locate points of interest such as Localscope, Around Me and others. All three new navigation head units will ship in January.

The KW-NT310 will offer control of iHeartRadio now including its custom station and “My Stations” features, Android Bluetooth® connectivity and NaviBridge capability for 2013. In addition, this DVD/CD/USB/SD Navigation receiver with a 6.1-inch touch panel features Bluetooth® wireless technology, and map features such as: Junction View, Off-Axis View, 3D Viewing with 3-D Footprint, 360 degree rotation and built-in color 3D landmark icons in most major cities. In addition the unit offers voice guidance with turn-by-turn voice commands. The unit offers a 1A current capable rear USB port with drive change mode and over 30,000 variable-color illumination choices. The KW-NT310 will be available in January at a Best Value of $999.95.

The KW-NT510HDT Navigation is also a 6.1-inch LCD monitor that adds built-in HD Radio™ audio and data tuners and has upgraded to HD Radio™ Active Alerts, including a free lifetime subscription to Clear Channel Radio’s Total Traffic HD+/Total Traffic Connect providing on-screen news, sports, weather, and real-time traffic updates with free flow data. HD Radio™ enabled features, Bookmark and Channel Guide, complete the HD Radio™ complement of features. The unit also includes compatibility with iHeartRadio and its custom stations and “My Stations” features, Android Bluetooth connectivity and NaviBridge capability for 2013.  The unit is available in January with a Best Value of $1099.95.

The KW-NT810HDT Navigation unit carries the same common features of these models with a 7-inch motorized faceplate and has built-in HD Radio™ audio and data tuners as well as the HD Radio™ Active Alerts feature. Also included is a free lifetime subscription to Clear Channel Radio’s Total Traffic HD+/Total Traffic Connect for on-screen news, sports, weather, and real-time traffic updates. Bookmark and Channel Guide, two additional HD Radio™ Technology enabled features are also included. The navigation head unit has been upgraded for 2013 to include iHeartRadio and its custom stations and “My Stations” features, Android connectivity with Bluetooth® and NaviBridge capability. The KW-NT810HDT ships in January with a Best Value of $1,299.95.
