Steve Oakley · July 16th, 2007, 10:10 PM

the firmware update that the 200 series got is now available for the 100 series. Please Please Please read the directions first because there are 6 versions of the firmware - you must install the correct version for you camera.

Yes, at least one user in another thread reports difficulties with the firmware flash on their camera. Not sure what led to his issues, but I'm going to hold off until I need to update. Since it only addresses the FCP issues with digitizing HDV, it's not a problem for my current workflow.

I updated the firmware successfully
however am sad to report this did not alleviate any of my FCP capture woes.
Clip segmenting and Cut off at the beginning and end.

Would love to hear if this has solved the problems for other FCP users, and if so what settings you are using.

Please direct me to a spec sheet that entails what the upgrade offers?

Can I use this firmware update on my HD-111E or is it just for the US versions of the Camera

Joseph A. Benoit · July 17th, 2007, 06:54 AM

Hello
I have a 110
are these firmware updates for FCP USERS ISSUES.
I use vegas and so far no problems
thank you
Joe

This is very strange because when I enter my firmware key, CVDGJDJJ, I receive a message informing me that my version number is incorrect or missing. The directions provided are ambiguous. Considering the potential for damage, how excusable is this?

Yes I got the same thing! Some error going on there.

Steven Thomas · July 17th, 2007, 12:11 PM

I'm not positive if this is the reason, but the download page mentions the upgrade is for US purchased GY-HD 110U/100U models.

"This upgrade is for owners of JVC's 100 Series ProHD Camcorders purchased in the United States."

So what happened to the low light update?
I realize there are a lot of FCP users, but this update seems pretty useless for the camera owners???!!!! I use PPRo2 and Cineform so.....
Ok, thanks for letting me get that off my chest.
Cheers,
Jon

Looks like it is for FCP dig clip issues only. I think I'll wait for more info.

Joseph A. Benoit · July 17th, 2007, 06:26 PM

Hi
check out the website that Jon said to goto and it explains that the
upgrade is for FCP clip issues

Did you adjust your pre & post roll to 1 second? Usually this only creates a 2-3 second gap between clips.

I don't think the upgrade addresses that. It's to help prevent longer clips from being segmented during capture.

I may be wrong so anyone at JVC can chime in at any point!
