New ENG and Studio Cameras from JVC!

As if JVC didn't already have enough great cameras to tempt us with they've only gone and launched two more!

 

These new models come in the form of the GY-HM850 and the GY-HM890, and are the latest additions to JVC's existing range of professional camcorders.

 

Similar in size and shape to JVC's GY-HM750/GY-HM790 these new shoulder mount camcorders have been designed with live HD transmission in mind. This is great news for anyone who may have previously been undecided between one of JVC's larger studio cameras and something with FTP connectivity such as the GY-HM650E.

 

With the popularity of live streaming increasing along with continuing advances in technology FTP/GSM connectivity is becoming more important to professionals in an industry where speed and efficiency is everything. JVC have been quick to realise this which is great news not only for content producers - but also consumers and end users who are increasingly in a position to receive content before it is even created, whether it's via a tablet or a smartphone.

 

JVC's GY-HM850: Built with ENG users in mind.

JVC also utilises a dual codec design in their latest models which means these new cameras are born multi-taskers and each feature the ability to perform tasks such as the transfer of files/HD transmission in the background - all while the user carries on working as normal. If that wasn't convenient enough both cameras also allow users to monitor live from a tablet/smartphone which can in turn be used to remotely control the camera/lens.

 

 

What's the difference between the two?

 

JVC's GY-HM890: Ideal for multi-camera shoots.

While both cameras are undeniably excellent in their own right the GY-HM890 is slightly more feature packed than it's little brother and includes a HD/SD-SDI input which allows it to record/stream video and audio from another source such as a camera, monitor or anything else with an SDI output. The GY-HM890 is also well suited for use both inside and outside the studio and features a multi-pin connection capable of accommodating fibre and is also compatible with a range of additional studio components such as a sled, CCU and viewfinder.

 

Both models are available via our website at: http://www.planetdv.net/AdditionalDepartments/Manufacturers/JVC/Cameras/Studio-Cameras  and can be purchased either with or without the Fujinon 20x Zoom lens. Prices start from £4400.00 (ex vat) for the GY-HM850 and £5600.00 (ex vat) for the GY-HM890 which we think is excellent value for money - especially when you consider the features JVC have crammed into these units.
