About JVC GY-DV550U Pro DV Camcorder

The GY-DV550U is perfect for broadcasters but priced within easy reach of webcasters, corporate studios, high schools, universities, cable access studios and churches. It has all of the features, performance and accessories expected from a CCU controllable camera, plus the ability to operate in an iso-cam environment. Add to that the fact that it works superbly as a standalone camcorder, and you have a JVC world's first. This is not just another camcorder with studio add-ons. The GY-DV550U is designed as a full bandwidth (800+ line) studio camera from the ground up! Plus, it's a full-blown ENG camcorder. Its recordings are compatible with DVCAM and DVCPRO, yet its performance is superior to any camera in its class. And in JVC tradition, we've priced the GY-DV550U well within the reach of our target customers, allowing them to Do More, Do it Better and for significantly less.

Need a high quality, light weight, 14 bit DSP, MiniDV ENG camcorder? The GY-DV550 fills the bill. A composite video pool feed input is handy in many ENG applications. The GY-DV550 has it. The GY-DV550 may be fully genlocked to another camera or other composite video source. How about a broadcast standard studio camera complete with studio viewfinder, intercom connection, and camera control unit (CCU)? The GY-DV550 in combination with the RM-P210 CCU can do that too, an industry first! Even in studio configuration you can still record isolated camera views (ISO-CAM) during a live production, making it ideal for parallel shooting at concerts or other "live" events. The GY-DV550 provides both 4:3 and letterbox 16:9 aspect ratios. The GY-DV550/ RM-P210 combination provides RTS-compatible intercom connectivity with switchable carbon/dynamic microphone. The studio configuration even provides a TelePrompter output at the camera!
