At Last, a Pro Camcorder that Speaks the Same Language as Your Editing System
The world’s first native support for Final Cut ProTM
Introducing the GY-HM700U, the world’s first professional camcorder that natively records Apple’s QuickTimeTM (MOV) file format for Final Cut ProTM. Forget transcoding and file wrapping – recorded files can be read directly into Apple’s popular editing system for a workflow that’s fast and smooth, with absolutely no loss of quality. And for compatibility with other NLE systems, the GY-HM700U also supports the MP4 file format.
Recording to twin SDHC memory cards, the GY-HM700U represents a new generation of camcorders that make continuous HD shooting and seamless software integration a reality.
The GY-HM700U uses standard, inexpensive and widely available SDHC Class 6 memory cards. These cards are small, light, robust and reliable, and can be read by your computer using any standard card reader. Also with the optional SxS media
recorder, simultaneous shooting to SDHC and SxS memory is possible, providing an instant client copy and reliable backup solution.
Workflow
With Native File Recording, JVC has eliminated one of the main obstacles to achieving a smoother, more streamlined production workflow. Until now, getting footage into a file format that computer-based editing systems could work with was a time consuming process. With Native File Recording, your footage is ready to edit the moment it’s shot.
Canon 14x HD Lens
The GY-HM700U comes with a new, high- performance 14x HD lens from Canon, based on the superb optics found in more expensive HD lenses. From wide angle through to telephoto, the lens has pin-sharp focusing accuracy and constant image brightness with no F-drop.
Three 1/3-inch Progressive CCD
Design with Triplex Offset
High definition is all about image quality. The newly designed 1/3" progressive CCDs together with JVC’s original Triplex Offset and an Adaptive Pixel Correlation Technology that produces resolution and color comparable to cameras with larger image sensors.
Twin SDHC Card Slots and Optional SxS Card Recording
The GY-HM700U gives users the flexibility of twin SDHC memory card slots. When one card is full, the camcorder switches automatically to the other card with no drop out, making possible true continuous shooting. Memory cards are hot swappable, so cards can be removed for editing without interrupting the shoot. For even greater flexibility, the optional SxS media recorder makes possible simultaneous recording to both SxS and SDHC media.
