Questions & Answers

Bob C : can I live-streams to facebook live from this camera, like you can on a iphone live?CECIL B : Yes, you can.JAE THOMAS S : Yes!JULIE L : This camera was built to livestream directly. It requires a wireless or ethernet network adapter or cellular adapter. I recommend that you download the manual from the JVC website. It gives the directions for how to set up the livestreaming. I use mine with a capture card to run the video through OBS and output from OBS, so I don't know how convoluted direct streaming is from the camera.
Charles K : Can I attach this camera to an audio mixer and record onto an sd card?JULIE L : Yes, I attach mine to a Yamaha mixer using the stereo R XLR output (we send mono out through the stereo L jack to our speakers). You could also send it using the record out RCA jacks if you have a matching RCA to XLR-M cable. Set the camera audio to line in on both input 1 and 2 to avoid having overlap with the camera's internal mic.
dennis c : can i live stream with just this cmera or do i need a box like the aja utap box?JAE THOMAS S : You do not need an additional piece of equipment, this youtube video from JVC is a great tutorial on how to livestream with your JVC GY-HM250! :) https://youtu.be/2hwLivC3Wbs

Great Camera!

We do streaming at church and this camera is very functional. I was looking for specifics features like XLR connectors, SDI and to be able to stream, and last not least the price. Adorama have the best price and very professional staff making sure I got the camera on time and good conditions. Thank you, I'll recommend this camera for this type of venue.

Great Camera!

By Jimiro F.

We do streaming at church and this camera is very functional. I was looking for specifics features like XLR connectors, SDI and to be able to stream, and last not least the price. Adorama have the best price and very professional staff making sure I got the camera on time and good conditions. Thank you, I'll recommend this camera for this type of venue.

The JVC GY-HM250 12.4MP 4K UHD Camcorder stands out as a high-quality, advanced tool for professional videographers and content creators seeking durability and innovation in their equipment. This robust camcorder captures stunning 4K Ultra HD video and offers seamless Full HD live streaming capabilities, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, from broadcasting news to streaming live events like weddings and concerts.

Equipped with a 12x optical zoom lens and a new tele-macro focus mode, the GY-HM250 ensures that you can frame your shots with precision and capture distant subjects with clarity. The 4K CMOS sensor, with its 12.4 million pixels, guarantees high sensitivity and exceptional performance across various lighting conditions, delivering crisp and accurate details throughout the entire image.

One of the standout features of this camcorder is its ability to add custom, integrated graphics to recordings or live streams without the need for an external character generator (CG) or production switcher. This is particularly beneficial for single-camera operators who require lower-third and full-screen titling solutions for HD video output. The GY-HM250 simplifies this process by allowing graphic overlays to be generated and controlled via a browser-equipped device, such as a tablet or smartphone.

JVC's innovative software utility enables users to upload logos or icons that can be displayed in the lower-third of the video, enhancing the professionalism of your productions. The camera also offers several pre-installed color schemes and the flexibility to create custom text bar designs, adding a personal touch to your content.

For those who demand extended reach without compromising image quality, the GY-HM250's Dynamic Zoom feature in HD mode combines optical zoom and pixel mapping to achieve a lossless 24x zoom. This feature, along with the convenient ND filter wheel with 0, 1/4, and 1/16 positions, allows for greater creative control over your footage.

Advanced IP Network Communication and Streaming technology are at the heart of the GY-HM250, providing remote control and monitoring of vital camera and lens functions from a tablet, smartphone, or computer. Live streaming is made effortless with HD or lower resolutions to adapt to available bandwidth, and the RTMP protocol simplifies the delivery of your live streams to content delivery networks such as Facebook, YouTube, and IBM Cloud.

The GY-HM250 also simplifies network connectivity with its Zero Config feature, enabling one-click configuration when joining the same LAN as other cameras. This streamlines the setup process and allows you to focus on capturing the moment.

Whether you're a professional videographer or a passionate content creator, the JVC GY-HM250 12.4MP 4K UHD Camcorder with its 12x optical zoom and FHD live streaming is a versatile and reliable choice that promises to deliver exceptional video and audio quality for your productions.
