This advanced 3-CMOS camera delivers pristine HD images to solid-state memory while simultaneously streaming via Wi-Fi or a plug-in LTE modem.
Designed specifically for JVC's ProHD line of ENG 1/3" camcorders, the Fujinon XT17sx45BRMK1 lens offers an enhanced wide-angle zoom range of 4.5-77mm. It also features Quick Zoom and Cruising Zoom functions, previously found only in higher-end models. This lens, known for its high build quality and precision optics, has become the industry standard for professional video applications worldwide.
The JVC GY-HM890U is designed for both studio and field production, with a shoulder-mount form factor and a multi-pin connection that accommodates JVC fiber or multi-core camera modules. It's compatible with a full range of studio components, including customized studio sled, zoom and focus controls, CCUs, and 8.4-inch LCD viewfinder, as well as box-style lenses from Canon and Fujinon.
This camera also includes an HD/SD-SDI pool feed input that can record and stream video and audio from another camera or SDI source during press conferences or other pool feed environments. It supports LANC remote controllers and JVC's proprietary wired remote control system.
The camcorder features three, 1/3-inch 2.07 effective megapixel CMOS sensors, capturing full 1920x1080 images. The imagers provide 12-bit processing, F12 sensitivity (50Hz), and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio to produce superior color reproduction.
The GY-HM890U records HD or SD footage in a variety of formats for compatibility with most major NLE systems. It offers simultaneous recording of a full HD file on one memory card and smaller, web-friendly H.264 files on the other. Dual SDHC/SDXC card slots allow simultaneous recording or relay recording to low-cost, non-proprietary media.
The camera's live HD streaming and file transfer capabilities are enhanced by JVC's exclusive dual codec design. This allows the camera to transmit live HD footage or transfer files in the background while users continue to record footage in their normal workflow.
The GY-HM890U also features a built-in GPS for recording location information, and metadata can be edited on a smartphone or tablet and transferred to the camera via Wi-Fi. It's compatible with Advanced Streaming Services, powered by Zixi, for reliable live content delivery.
