JVC GY-HM150U Camcorder - Bundle - with DT-X91C 8.9" Monitor, HZ-HM150VZR Remote Lens Control

JVC GY-HM150U Features

• Three 1/4" Progressive-Scan CCDs: Three 1/4" progressive-scan CCDs - one each for red, green and blue - provide rich, accurate colors. To separate primary colors, JVC has incorporated a high-accuracy Fujinon glass prism and a proprietary mounting technology
• Diagonal Offset Technology: The Red and Blue pixel locations are shifted relative to Green, allowing the sampled luminance information to be significantly increased in both horizontal and vertical directions. This results in much higher-resolution images without sacrificing sensitivity
• Fujinon 10x Zoom HD Lens: The GY-HM150U utilizes a high-definition lens by Fujinon, a world leader in HD lens technology. This lens features three aspheric elements that minimize the weight and space required, while producing less distortion, ghosting and flare
• Rotary Optical Image Stabilizer: With the increased resolution and sharpness of HD pictures, even a small amount of camera shake becomes noticeable to the viewer
• 1080p Digital Processor (DSP): At the heart of the GY-HM150U is a custom JVC-developed dynamic digital signal processor. Processing is performed on the full progressive 1920 x 1080 signal, regardless of the camcorder's settings, ensuring the highest picture quality in any shooting mode
• Upgraded 35 Mb/s MPEG-2 Encoder: The GY-HM150U utilizes the encoder technology developed for JVC's renowned GY-HM790 series camcorders that are used at major television stations
• Standard-Definition Recording Capability: Responding to the needs of the industry, the GY-HM150U, in addition to its capability as an HD recorder, offers standard-definition recording for maximum flexibility
• Native File Recording: Because it uses QuickTime as its native file format, the GY-HM150U is the perfect choice for users of Apple's Final Cut Pro editing system
• Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC), Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC) Recording: The GY-HM150 records on widely available SDHC Class 6 or Class 10 memory cards, currently available in capacities up to 32GB and SDXC memory cards for capacities up to 64GB and even higher
• Uncompressed Audio with Manual Controls: The GY-HM150 records two channels of uncompressed LPCM 16-bit audio sampled at 48 kHz. Audio levels can be controlled manually, or automatically using AGC. An audio meter is provided in the LCD and VF displays to facilitate adjustment
• Compact Handheld Form Factor: The GY-HM150 is the smallest pro format 3-CCD camcorder available - about the size of the lens of a 2/3" camera. At only 3.1 lb it can be used comfortably for hours and without the need for clumsy support bracing
• Shooter-Friendly Controls and Layout: Ergonomics has played a major role in the design of the GY-HM150U. The handgrip makes the camera very comfortable to hold for any operator, even on long shoots
• Patented Focus Assist Function: Achieving exact focus with HD signals is critical. JVC's Focus Assist turns focusing into a fast, easy and accurate process. When Focus Assist is activated, the picture in the viewfinder becomes monochrome and all objects which are in focus appear with colored edges
• Pre Rec Mode (Retro): With Pre Rec enabled, the camcorder continuously buffers up to 5 seconds of video, so that when recording is started the cached video is included in the recorded file, giving you up to a 5 second head start
• Time Lapse (Interval) Recording: The enhanced time-lapse feature offers variable recording intervals and frequency settings, allowing for total control when creating time-lapse effects
• Wired and Wireless Remote Control: The GY-HM150U comes with a wired remote interface (3.5mm connector) for operating the camcorder remotely when using a tripod, jib, crane, or boom. An infrared remote control is also provided, great for when an operator is unavailable or unnecessary
• Versatile Manual Controls: When operating the camera in the manual mode, depth of field can be adjusted by manually setting the iris. Aperture priority automatically selects the correct shutter setting based on the iris selection
• Data Battery: When used with JVC Data Batteries, the remaining battery power (by percentage and remaining recording time in minutes) can be checked with the touch of a button, even while the camera's power is off
• 2.7" LCD Display: The 2.7" (230,000 pixel) 16:9 aspect ratio LCD monitor provides not only an alternative to the viewfinder when shooting, it also displays a wide array of monitoring and setup indications
• Video/Audio Outputs: For external monitoring or capture, the GY-HM150U is equipped with a variety of video output options, including HDMI and component output for HD or down-converted SD video and composite output for SD video only
