JVC updates GY-HM700 camcorder (25/9/2009)

JVC has announced an updated version of the GY-HM700 camcorder, bringing further benefits to customers in their choice of workflow. As with the smaller GY-HM100 camcorder, .MP4 files can now be recorded onto the SDHC card along with .MOV files when the SxS adapter is not attached, providing great flexibility for your shooting and offering a unique dual media concept. Additionally, the new version of the GY-HM700 camcorder has a more powerful built-in DNR, producing higher picture quality.

The GY-HM700, in combination with the optional SxS adaptor KA-MR100, provides the unique properties of dual-media recording capability and a choice of industry-leading file formats on both inexpensive and high-performance media. With the KA-MR100 media recorder docked, it is possible to record Sony XDCAM EX compatible .MP4 files onto high-speed SxS memory cards, while at the same time recording the same .MP4 files to inexpensive SDHC cards. Having two copies instantly available provides more versatility in the field, with the assurance of always having a back-up.

The .MP4 file format recorded on SDHC can be natively edited by non-linear systems that support XDCAM EX, and is not only suitable for Windows NLE systems but also Final Cut Pro. Also, .MP4 files recorded onto SxS media are compatible with the Sony XDCAM EX format. Recording in the editing system's native format eliminates the time consuming transfer step and dramatically speeds up the post-production workflow, a major advancement for JVC and the industry.

JVC is pleased that there are now even more options for this versatile camcorder. With the choice of not only the recording format, but also the recording media, the GY-HM700 offers optimum flexibility, together with simple integration into your existing workflow.
