JVC GY-HM170 4KCAM Compact Professional Camcorder

4K is no longer reserved for theatrical cinema presentation; it is in demand at all levels of production. With UltraHD recording, the GY-HM170 4KCAM Compact Professional Camcorder from JVC is designed to fulfill the requirement for professional functionality, like ND filters and custom-assign buttons, in a form-factor closer to a consumer camcorder. The camera records 3840 x 2180 4K in 24 or 30p, at a bitrate of 150 Mbps, encoding the file in a .MOV-wrapped H.264 codec. With two SDHC/SDXC card slots, the camera supports dual recording, backup recording, and continuous recording. Besides 4K, it can record 1080p at up to 60 fps in an 8-bit 4:2:2 50 Mbps .MOV file, or in AVCHD for compatibility with consumer editing software.
