IN THE STUDIO (OPTIONS) IN THE FIELD

Native support for Apple QuickTime file format (for Final Cut Pro) and MP4 file format (mp4 file is compatible withSONY XDCAM EXTM format)

Thanks to native file support for “.mov (Apple QuickTime file format for Final Cut Pro)” and “.mp4 (compatible with XDCAM EX workflow)”, GY-HM790 can create a ready-to-edit video clips for major NLE systems including Apple's Final Cut Pro, AVID's Media Composer, Adobe Premiere, Canopus Edius Pro, Sony Vegas—all without re-encoding or loosing image quality.

SDHC Media Card recording with 2 card slots

GY-HM790 uses standard, inexpensive, and widely available SDHC Class 6 or 10 memory cards. SDHC memory cards are small, light, robust, reliable and can be read by most PCs using any standard card reader.

35Mbps (MPEG-2 HQ mode) and MPEG-2 SP mode (19Mbps/25Mbps)

JVC's original 1080p Dynamic Digital SignalProcessor compresses video signalsup to 35Mbps to support full 1920 X 1080sampling. The SP mode records at a constant bit rate of either 19Mbps or 25Mbps to ensurecompatibility with a wide range of equipment.

1/3” Progressive-scan 3CCD design with Triplex Offset and Adaptive Pixel Correlation

The three progressive-scan CCD design provides rich, accurate colors, while JVC original Triplex Offset technology in conjunction with pixel correlation adaptively increases the effective resolution both horizontally and vertically by shifting the red and blue pixels. The camera produces dramatically higher horizontal / vertical / diagonal resolution.Also, thanks to matured CCD technology,GY-HM790 is free from wobbling phenomenon.

Lens Interchangeability and Canon high quality HD lens

GY-HM790 has the industry standard bayonet lens mount.A wide selection of lenses is available to meet specific needs. The GY-HM790 standard package comes equipped with the high quality 14X (f=4.4~61.6mm) Canon HD lens.

SD Recording Capability in DV 25Mbps formatThe GY-HM790 also offers Standard Definition (SD) recording capability in DV 25Mbps format, compatible with a wide range of NLE systems.(GY-HM790U/CHU:DV60i only, GY-HM790E/CHE:DV50i only)

Multi-pin Interface, Genlock In, Time-code In/Out, Pool-feed InputThe built-in Genlock In, Time-code In/Out, and Pool-feed Input make it possible to connect to a variety of systems. The camera's Multi-pin (68pin) interface provides connection to:* Multi-core studio adapter for affordable Studio Production / Electronic Field Production (EFP)* Optical Fiber system for long distance remote control at Studio / EFP applications* Optional SxS Media Recorder for hybrid recording on two different types of memory

Multi-core studio adapter for affordable Studio Production / Electronic Field Production (EFP)

Optical Fiber system (from Telecast Fiber) for long distance remote control at Studio / EFP applications

Optional SxS Media Recorder permits hybrid recording on two different types of memory The optional SxS Media recorder, KA-MR100, allows simultaneous recording to SDHC cards and SxS Media. This hybrid recording system provides a reliable backup solution. KA-MR100 can be attached to the GY-HM790 without external cabling.
