NEW - GY-HM850 and GY-HM890 ENG & Studio Camcorders

JVC's Full HD Shoulder-Mount ENG/Studio Camcorder

JVC have launched the GY-HM850 and GY-HM890 ProHD shoulder-mount camcorders (available for pre-order at B&H), setting a new benchmark in ENG camera network capability. The company will be demonstrating them to the public at the upcoming Broadcast Video Expo show in London at the end of February. Complemented by a new interchangeable Fujinon 20x autofocus zoom lens, both cameras deliver outstanding full HD image capture and delivery, while the built-in streaming engine, FTP and GSM connectivity allows live HD transmission directly from the camera without requiring additional encoding hardware.

Both the GY-HM850 and GY-HM890 models utilise a very nicely-weighted shoulder-mount form factor, with the GY-HM890 also designed for use as an HD studio camera or multi-camera field production camera. It has a multi-pin connection that accommodates JVC fibre or multi-core camera modules and is compatible with a full range of studio components, including customised studio sled, zoom and focus controls, CCUs and 8.4-inch LCD viewfinder, as well as box-style lenses from Canon and Fujinon.
