JVC GY-HM700 ProHD Compact Shoulder Camcorder

The new JVC GY-HM700 ProHD is a compact shoulder professional camcorder targeted at media professionals. The GY-HM700 can record in the QuickTime file format used by Apple for Final Cut Pro which means post-production does not get delayed as the conversion / rewrapping process is eliminated.

The GY-HM700 stores files on SDHC memory cards and one can edit directly from the memory cards. The camera offers 64GB on-board storage via two memory card slots; this is equal to more than 6 hours of HD recording. Using SDHC cards means that you use up to 20% less power as against tape recordings.

An optional KA-MR100 dockable media recorder allows for simultaneous recordings of .MP4 files on high speed SxS memory cards and SDHC cards. This saves backup time.

The camera offers high resolution progressive imaging by making use of three precisely aligned 1/3-inch progressive scan full HD CCDs. The patented Adaptive Pixel Correlation Technique enables better image resolution. The camera uses a KT14×4.4KRSJ detachable lens by Canon whioh is ideal for full 1920 x 1080 imaging.

The GY-HM700 uses a digital viewfinder based on a .45-inch 1.22 million pixel Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS) panel.
