JVC Kenwood Corporation "Goes Beyond" With JVC "ADIXXION" Action Camera
LONDON, June 28, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
The new JVC GC-XA1 Action Camera offers rugged "quad-proof" body for use without
housing, built-in LCD and built-in Wi-Fi so people can "go beyond" and discover unique
images in any situation.
JVC KENWOOD Corporation is introducing the JVC GC-XA1, a new style of action camera
nicknamed "ADIXXION". The recent popularity of this category of camera has exposed some
shortcomings of currently available products, and JVC's new offering addresses these
issues with the savvy of an audiovisual expert.

The agile GC-XA1 weighs only 126g?(0.28lbs), with a heavy-duty design that does not
require a protective housing that would add bulk and muffle the sound. The quad-proof
design is waterproof to a depth of 5m (16.4 ft), shockproof to withstand a fall from 2m
(6.5ft) high, as well as dustproof and freezeproof. Its scratch-resistant rubber texture
also plays a part in this camera's ruggedness and smart looks. A 1.5-inch LCD monitor is
built right into the side of the camera so you can check results on the spot, with no
add-on to add weight and bulk. The body also has two standard tripod holes for easy
mounting in a variety of locations. Last but far from least is the built-in Wi-Fi feature
which opens up a whole new world of applications and functionality. Wireless connection to
a smartphone allows framing to be easily checked before recording, even if the camera is
already mounted in an inaccessible spot.
It's also possible to send images "live" to a PC via Wi-Fi or mobile hotspot, or
transfer data to a PC for distribution on social networks. But perhaps most incredible is
the ability to stream "live" high-definition videos in real-time to USTREAM without a PC.
With minimal hardware to carry or wear, people can achieve maximum exposure to a worldwide
audience right then and there. iOS and Android apps will be available for download free of
charge, while Wi-Video PC software is supplied with the camera.
As one might expect from the visual experts at JVC, GC-XA1 does not compromise on
image quality to achieve its compact toughness. Video recording is possible in resolutions
ranging from Full HD to WVGA, as QuickTime-compatible MP4 files that can be easily viewed
on computers and smartphones. The user can count on image stabilization for less blurry
scenes while on the go, as well as technology to counteract the image skewing that can
occur with CMOS image sensors. The built-in HDMI terminal enables easy connection to
HDTVs. Other features include ultra-wide lens, Time-Lapse REC to record a frame at a time
at intervals of 1 or 5 seconds, Digital 5x zoom, 5 Megapixel stills, White balance
(auto/manual), Exposure (auto), and Self-timer functions. The GC-XA1 comes supplied with a
Goggle mount, Flexible mount, two Lens protection covers, a USB cable and Battery, which
is enough to get you going right out of the box. Plus a wider variety of optional
accessories will be offered so people can customize the way they make memories with the
GC-XA1 ADIXXION.
