The deck executes insert editing with a flying erase head, an extra video head that erases the video signal during editing. It's designed to produce seamless edits and smooth, invisible transitions from one scene to the next. Also included is JVC's DigiPure Technology (with 4 MB frame memory), a suite of features including Super VHS ET (Expansion Technology) recording with a TBC (Time Base Corrector) that digitally removes jitter from fluctuating video signals to deliver a stable picture--even on old tapes. TBC also eliminates color distortion caused by jitter in the color signal. You also get PCM digital audio (with MiniDV recording) and hi-fi VHS stereo.

Using Active Video Calibration, an intelligent IC automatically judges head condition to maintain original performance, also judging tape quality to maximize potential of tape being used. The JVC-developed SVHS ET allows the broader-bandwidth Super-VHS signal to be recorded on affordable, standard VHS tapes.

For connections, the HR-DVS2U offers front- and rear-panel S-video inputs, and two rear-panel S-video outputs.
