Main Features
Supports 4K high-definition recording,
realizing more advanced Full HD
recording quality
Recording and playback at 30p/25p/24p are
possible in 4K resolution (3840x2160 pixels),
which
contains information that is about four times
larger than Full HD. And with the H.264 codec, this
camera recorder supports high resolution 4K
recording at 150 Mbps and high quality HD
recording at 50 Mbps 4:2:2. Even when recording
scenes with a lot of movements and fine details, it
is possible to record high quality videos that are
smooth and rich in details.
F1.2, 29.6 mm wide-angle, 12x optical
zoom lens
A new lens has been developed, which boasts top-
notch
brightness (maximum aperture of F1.2) for a
compact handheld camera. The bright lens allows
details to be reproduced clearly even in a dimly-lit
room.
The 12x optical zoom supports zooming from 29.6
mm at the wide-angle end, and dynamic zoom up
to 24x with the use of a high-resolution sensor
(during HD/SD recording), allowing the faces of
distant portrait subjects to be captured.
High-performance CMOS sensor with a
sensitivity of F5.6
This camera recorder is built in with a high-
performance 1/2.3-inch (effective pixels of 9.03
megapixels, 1/2.5-inch) CMOS sensor with a
resolution of 12.4 megapixels, achieving a
significantly enhanced sensitivity of F5.6 with the
high-definition and advanced noise-reduction
technology. You can produce recordings with
excellent gradation even when shooting in a low-
light
scene or at a location where lighting cannot be
used.
New-generation JVC image processor
“FALCONBRID II”
The image processor employed supports both 4K
codec developed by JVC and simultaneous dual
stream encoding, achieving a high image quality
that maximizes the potential of next-generation
high-resolution sensors.
Enhanced network functions K
An encoding bit rate higher than existing models
can be set. Also, with the “Zixi” cloud service
supported, which enables highly-reliable and
stable data transmission, RTMP live streaming is
made possible.
Supports QuickTime and AVCHD
formats
Inheriting the concept of our past memory camera
recorders, this camera recorder supports
QuickTime
(MOV) and AVCHD file formats that can
be directly edited on “Final Cut Pro”, an editing
software from Apple Inc.
Equipped with double SD card slots
allowing various recording options
The most common SDHC/SDXC card recording
system is used as the memory card. This ensures
high reliability and operation at low running cost.
Various user friendly recording options are
available. These include series recording which
enables seamless long hour continuous
recordings over the slots, dual recording of the
same file to two slots, and backup recording of
recording only the preferred scenes to one slot
using the record and stop operations while the
other slot is continuously recording.
In addition, Web files with resolution suitable for
distribution over the network can be created. HD
files and Web files can also be recorded
simultaneously.
For GY-HM200U/GY-HM200E, it is also possible
to perform streaming while the recording is
ongoing.
Equipped with progressive-compatible
3G-SDI and HDMI output
[SDI OUT] and [HDMI] terminals are equipped for
digital output. 3G-compatible SDI output is
supported, and external output including 4K from
the [HDMI]
terminal is possible. Uncompressed
Full HD signals and audio signals can be output
simultaneously from the [SDI OUT] and [HDMI]
terminals.
* GY-HM170U/GY-HM170E come only with the
[HDMI] terminal. [SDI OUT] terminal is not
available.
