JVC GY-HM170E 4K camcorder
The GY-HM170 is a complete and compact 4K Ultra HD camcorder, with professional audio connectivity, capable of recording 4:2:2 full HD at 50 Mbps. The small size allows you to shoot in locations that may not be suitable for larger cameras. The GY-HM170's integrated 12x optical zoom lens and 4K CMOS sensor deliver super-sharp 4K Ultra HD recording and write it directly to SDHC/SDXC memory cards. You can display live 4K via HDMI.
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.
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.
High speed recording of 120 fps for slow motion playback
The camcorder allows high-speed recording at up to 120 fps (59.94 Hz) / 100 fps (50 Hz) for smooth slow-motion playback. This can be used to create artistic effects or view replays of actions when researching sports skills. The feature is only available at 1920x1080 resolution and offers up to 1/5 slow in 24p mode.
Removable handle with professional XLR audio
The removable, robust handle makes the camcorder easy to carry and also makes it easy to shoot from low angles, thanks to the built-in REC button with lock function and the zoom lever. XLR audio inputs are provided for the connection of a professional microphone or for LINE input, complete with phantom power.
