GY-HM700E(A)

Description

Professional HD Camcorder with SDHC Media
The GY-HM700 combines JVC's popular compact shoulder form factor with a new level of performance suitable for demanding applications in mainstream production, electronic newsgathering and cinematography. Weighing only 3.5kG including lens, viewfinder, microphone and battery, the GY-HM700 rests comfortably on the right shoulder providing stable, steady shots. Add to that the convenience of solid state recording, the economy of widely available SDHC media, and the world's fastest workflow, and it's easy to see why the GY-HM700 is today's most complete and versatile professional camcorder.The GY-HM700 utilizes three precisely aligned 1/3-inch progressive scan full HD CCDs—one each for red, green and blue primary color. JVC engineers have developed a unique 1/3-inch optical block with Diagonal Offset and a patented exclusive Adaptive Pixel Correlation Technique that produces resolution comparable to cameras with larger image sensors.

JVC Original 35Mbps MPEG2 Encoder
Drawing from its experience in developing rack mount encoders used by major television stations, JVC developed a proprietary codec capable of providing highly efficient compression up to 35 megabits per second, a bitrate that can support full 1920 x 1080 sampling. This results in recorded images of exceptional quality. MPEG2 long GOP is the most widely accepted broadcast standard compression supported by all popular editing systems and broadcast servers. In the HQ mode, the encoder operates with a variable bit rate average of 35Mbps. The SP mode records at a constant bit rate of either 19.7Mbps or 25Mbps to ensure compatibility with a wide range of equipment. Compact Shoulder form factor. New patented 3-CCD optical system provides full HD resolution images. Industry standard bayonet lens mount. New high performance Canon 14:1 lens included: wider angle, higher resolution and minimal chromatic aberration.

Native File Recording
The GY-HM700 incorporates JVC's Native File Recording technology that stores video in the ready-to-edit file format used by Apple's Final Cut Pro™ non-linear editing system. The ".mov" files created in the camera can be easily dragged onto the NLE timeline without conversion or rewrapping, saving time while keeping the recorded material first generation. There is no need to use an intermediate codec.
