FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NAB 2019: JVC PROFESSIONAL
VIDEO DELIVERS MOST RESILIENT VIDEO TRANSPORT OVER
THE INTERNET
- WAYNE, NJ (April 8,
2019) –
JVC
Professional
Video, a division of JVCKENWOOD USA
Corporation, has continued to develop its CONNECTED CAM family of
products to create the
most resilient video transport over the internet. CONNECTED CAM was
launched last year with the GY-HC900, a
2/3-inch HD broadcast camcorder available in ENG and studio
configurations. This year, the new 500 Series of 4K
cameras bring CONNECTED CAM performance to compact camcorders. Plus,
JVC is expanding its IP switcher line with the CONNECTED CAM Studio
6000S. JVC will demonstrate its CONNECTED CAM and ProHD products
through April 11 at the 2019 NAB Show (Booth C4415) in Las Vegas,
Nev.
- The 500 Series cameras feature a 1-inch 4K
CMOS imager and integrated 20x zoom lens with built-in ND filters
and manual zoom, focus, and iris control rings. While the 500 Series
records several native 4K UHD and HD file formats to SDHC/SXHC
cards, the camcorders can also record to SSD (solid state drive)
media in 10-bit ProRes 422 at 4K resolution and 50/60p frame rates.
HDR and slow-motion HD recording provide additional creative
flexibility.
- To meet the varying needs of video
professionals, JVC offers the GY HC500 base model, GY HC550
with advanced streaming and graphics, and GY-HC500SPC sports
production camera. Both the
GY-HC550 and GY-HM500SPC include integrated lower-third and
full-screen titling options without an external CG. The GY HC500SPC
adds score overlays for a number of sports, and works with
Sportzcast Scorebot for automatic, real-time score updates. Plus,
the GY HM500SPC is compatible with DV Sport and XOS Digital
technologies for sports coaching applications.
- CONNECTED CAM camcorders are designed to
optimize both image processing and IP performance. All 500 and 900
models provide reliable 1080p streaming performance up to 20 Mbps
with SMPTE 2022 forward error correction and less than 500ms
latency. Some models also add Zixi™ error correction with ARQ for
reliable transmission.
-
- “Nobody beats JVC when it comes to
connectivity,” said Joe D’Amico, vice president, JVC
Professional Video. “Our cameras deliver exceptional imagery –
and then deliver that imagery through flexible and reliable IP
production workflows. JVC offers a true end-to-end solution with
affordable cameras and components.”
- Another part of JVC’s video transport
workflow is its line of Bridge bonded cellular uplinks, which allow
content creators to stream live programming with better reliability.
Digital P Media, for example, uses five ProHD Portable Bridge
cellular uplinks paired with 800 Series ProHD cameras to stream live
coverage of the Fishing League Worldwide bass fishing tournament.
Streaming live footage of the FLW Tour is a challenge because each
event takes place on an expansive lake, and several lakes on the
tour are notorious for poor cell service. The video production crew
has been able to expand and improve its coverage – and even use
their Portable Bridge units as hotspots, connecting their cell
phones via Wi-Fi and using the Discord voice chat mobile app as an
intercom system.
-
- The most recent
addition to the product line is the SFE-CAM Dockable Bridge, a Dual
Link bonded LTE uplink that connects directly to 800 and 900 Series
cameras for run-and-gun applications. An upgraded version of the
ProHD
Dockable Bridge introduced in 2017, it features Peplink’s patented
SpeedFusion VPN Bonding technology to combine multiple cellular,
wired, and Wi-Fi connections to create a robust and secure VPN
connection.
- All Bridge units, as well as other JVC
IP-enabled cameras in the field, can be monitored and tracked with
the ProHD Command Center. It provides a full screen, real-time map
of all GPS-enabled resources, plus allows one-touch routing of live
video to master control, websites, and social media platforms.
- From studio and remote production to ENG,
live streaming, and point-to-point HD contribution, the new ProHD
BR-EN900 encoder is an important part of JVC’s end-to-end
IP-based production solutions. The portable encoder provides
broadcast-quality HEVC (H.265) encoding up to 1080p60 with 10-bit
4:2:2 sampling. Powered by an all-hardware compression chip, its
dual encoding capabilities allow simultaneous H.265 and H.264
streaming to different destinations, such as hardware decoders and
CDNs. When combined with JVC’s BR-DE900 decoder, which was
introduced last year, the BR-EN900 delivers up to 50 percent
bandwidth savings compared to H.264.
- With JVC’s line of Studio portable live
production and streaming systems, connectivity extends through the
production process for broadcasters, schools, houses of worship, and
governments. In
Cleveland, for example, the ProHD Studio 4000 has provided Raycom
Media-owned WOIO the tools to set its live coverage on its website,
mobile app, and Facebook Live apart from the competition. The system
is based in the newsroom and coupled with a JVC
KY-PZ100 robotic PTZ network video production camera. Instead of
just a live video feed, operators create scaled-down newscasts,
complete with graphics, bugs, archival footage, live Skype feeds,
and more.
- The new CONNECTED CAM Studio 6000S promises
even more functionality, with six IP inputs that support NDI® and
SRT streaming protocols (as well as HD-SDI and HDMI sources). Other
integrated features include an audio mixer, internal CG with
templates, four layers of DSK, and clip store with playback. The
Studio 6000S also offers features for live sports production,
including automated multi-channel instant replay, slo-mo, and an
integrated sports CG for scores and timers.
-
- Since 2012, when JVC introduced the
industry’s first professional camera with built-in FTP and Wi-Fi
connectivity, news-over-IP has become a reality and live streaming
has become more sophisticated. JVC continues to improve the IP
performance of its products. For example, the company recently added
Facebook Live integration to the GY-HM250, its most affordable
streaming camcorder, to make it easier than ever to share live
coverage on social media. With its catalog of affordable cameras and
system components, JVC has created the
most resilient video transport over the internet that can be scaled
to fit the needs of any production facility, from broadcast news to
PEG channels and houses of worship.
