FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JVC ANNOUNCES INTEGRATED
GRAPHICS, RECORDING UPGRADES FOR GY-HC900 CONNECTED CAM
CAMCORDER AT NAB 2019 - WAYNE, NJ (April 8,
2019) –
JVC
Professional
Video, a division of JVCKENWOOD USA
Corporation, today announced the Version 3.0 firmware upgrade for
its GY HC900 CONNECTED CAM broadcast camcorder, which will add
ProRes recording, integrated graphics, and more to the 2/3-inch
camcorder. JVC is demonstrating the free upgrade, which will be
available in July, during the 2019 NAB Show (Booth C4415) through
April 11 in Las Vegas, Nev.
-
- With Version 3.0, the GY-HC900 can record
ProRes HD to an SSD drive installed in the camcorder’s expansion
slot. The drive can then be easily accessed for immediate editing.
The upgrade also adds integrated lower-third, bug, and full-screen
titling options for recorded or streamed video output. As result,
broadcast
news stations and other
content providers can add a watermark to live footage, identify
people and events, and provide full-screen open, close, and
transition graphics to live programming in the field (including
logos or icons) without an external CG.
- While the GY-HC900 already records in Sports
Exchange Standard formats, Version 3.0 adds the ability to “label”
plays in real time for improved video coaching use. Camera operators
can input ODK (offense, defense, kicking) values in the metadata as
soon as each play is over, which makes it much more efficient for
coaches and players to sort and review footage.
- “CONNECTED CAM already delivers the most
resilient video transport over the internet, but we want to keep
providing added value for our customers. Now, the camcorder that set
the benchmark for news-over-IP
is even more versatile,” said Joe D’Amico, vice president, JVC
Professional Video. “The upgraded GY-HC900 adds ProRes recording
flexibility for broadcasters, graphics capabilities for more
polished streaming productions in the field, and specialized
metadata collection for video coaching applications.”
-
- Introduced last
year, the GY-HC900 features three 2/3-inch CMOS image sensors for
full HD imagery, as well as enhanced connectivity for a complete
news-over-IP workflow solution. The camcorder supports native
recording of both MPEG-2 at 35 Mbps and H.264, among other formats,
and offers an HDR mode for creative flexibility.
- Its
communication engine optimizes both image processing and IP
performance, delivering HD streaming at up to 24 Mbps. The GY HC900
also offers Zixi™ error correction with automatic repeat request
(ARQ) and SMPTE 2022 forward error correction for reliable
transmission. Other features include B4 lens mount and four-position
optical filter, built-in wireless LAN (2.4Ghz/5GHz) with dual
external antennas, dual SDHC/SDXC media ports with redundant, relay,
and backup recording modes, three XLR audio inputs, integrated
3G-SDI pool feed, Ethernet and USB ports, and dual 3G-SDI outputs
and an HDMI output.
