Low-Light Plus (3 D NR) JVC’s proven picture improvement technology for VCRs has been adopted for video cameras. Able to reduce video noise by approx. 30%, especially when shooting in low light. Edge flicker is inhibited, enabling even subjects that contain lots of high frequency range elements such as hair, to be shot as pure, bright, low-noise images. When shooting in dark environments, noise elements are visible throughout the image, producing a coarse picture with obscured borders such as facial shapes. JVC made it possible to cut noise when shooting in low light environments using our original 3 D NR technology to deliver high quality results.
