JVC GY-HM180E
The GY-HM180E is a complete, but compact 4K Ultra HD camcorder, with 3G-SDI connection. It has professional XLR audio connections and can record Full HD images in 4:2:2 at 50Mbps. Moreover, it has a live 4K output via HDMI. The integrated 12x zoom lens of the GY-HM180 and its 4K CMOS sensor deliver razor-sharp 4K Ultra HD images, which can be recorded directly on SDHC/SDXC memory cards. Its compact size lets you take shots where larger cameras don't have access.
1/2.3-inch 12.4M CMOS sensor
This camcorder is designed to record stunning, lifelike 4K Ultra HD (3840x2160) video. JVC's own 4K CMOS sensor with 12.4M pixels is very light sensitive and performs excellently in different lighting conditions. Details are sharp and accurate across the entire image.
12x optical zoom and seamless 24x dynamic zoom
The ultra-high image quality starts with a sharp 12x optical zoom lens (F1.2-3.5, 35mm equivalent: 29.6-355mm). When recording in HD mode, the optical zoom can be combined with pixel mapping without loss of quality, creating a seamless 24x Dynamic zoom. This gives the camera a large zoom range while remaining very compact.
HD-SDI (3G) and HDMI output
This camcorder comes with a large number of professional connection options, including an HD-SDI (3G) and HDMI connection. This guarantees a reliable digital connection with external devices, such as a recorder or a switcher. Simultaneous use of the SDI and HDMI output is also possible!
Full HD 4:2:2 recording at 50Mbps
The ability to record in H.264 4:2:2, 24-60P at 50Mbps makes this camera ideal for both broadcasting and production. The color accuracy of 4:2:2 ensures that the camera can deliver exceptional color resolution, even when there is high contrast between foreground and background. This is particularly useful when strong colors contrast with bright backgrounds, or when used on a green screen.
120fps high-speed recording for slow motion playback
The camcorder allows high-speed recording at up to 120fps (59.94Hz) / 100fps (50Hz) for smooth slow motion playback. This can be used to create artistic effects or to review action replays when examining sporting skills. The feature is only available at 1920x1080 resolution only, and offers up to 1/5 slow at 24p mode.
Detachable handle unit with professional XLR audio
The detachable heavy-duty handle makes the camcorder easy to carry and also makes it simple to shoot from low angles, thanks to its built-in REC button with lock function, and zoom lever. XLR audio inputs are provided for the attachment of a professional microphone or for LINE input, complete with Phantom power supply capability.
