Ushering in a new era of mobile news gathering the new ProHD ENG cameras from JVC launched at NAB can shoot and deliver news footage faster than ever. These two advanced handheld cameras deliver exceptional imagery and features for news, sports and independent production in an attractive form factor with intuitive user-friendly controls.
The GY-HM600 is a camcorder for next generation newsgathering. Light, versatile and extremely easy to use, this camera is designed for fast paced electronic news gathering (ENG). It offers superb low light performance (F11 at 2000 lux), a long (23x) wide angle autofocus zoom lens and file interoperability from acquisition to air.
The lightweight camera records HD or SD footage in multiple file formats, including native XDCAM EX (.MP4), Final Cut Pro (.MOV), and AVCHD, to non-proprietary SDHC or SDXC media cards. In addition to relay mode for uninterrupted recording, the GY-HM600 allows simultaneous recording to both memory cards for instant back-up or client copy.
Heralding a more efficient ENG workflow, the JVC GY-HM650 ProHD handheld mobile news camera can shoot and deliver news footage faster than ever – ideal for breaking news.
Equipped with dual codecs, it produces full HD files on one memory card while simultaneously creating smaller, web-friendly files (1/4 HD) on a second card. With built-in FTP and Wi-Fi connectivity, the GY-HM650 delivers the footage back to a station without a microwave or satellite connection.
