Spent time with the HD100

I heard a rumor that the 24p footage that was shown at the booth was shot on a DVX. Can anyone shoot this down?...I'm skeptical but it would explain why the Plasma footage looked so bad.

Within the JVC NAB booth, Frederich at the Lumiere/FCP5 editing kiosk, and the staff at the I-O Data Avel Link Player both identified the footage they were using as having come form the HD100. An on-screen graphic, and the menu system for the Avel Link Player also identified the footage as having come from the HD100. The JVC reps at the booth also confirmed that the footage used by Lumiere and Avel came from the HD100. I think we can safely put to rest the DVX-originated footage rumor. I own a DVX and I didn't feel like it looked like DVX footage.

On the plasma Avel was using the footage looked excellent. Some of the footage used on the Lumiere plasma looked sub-standard, but other sequences looked good. Perhaps they didn't have a shooter for some of the sequences that knew how to use the camera correctly.

I forgot to mention that the Avel Link kiosk also had footage graphic with a graphic of " HD100" running on a good CRT broadcast monitor. It looked crisp, color-saturated, and very "filmic".
