![]() Similar in size to JVC's popular GY-HM150 ProHD camcorder, the GY-HMQ10 includes a build-in F2.8 10x zoom lens with optical image stabilizer, as well as a color viewfinder and 3.5-inch touch LCD monitor with a new, intuitive user interface. The "trimming" feature makes HD cropping easy using the camera's touch panel LCD monitor. This can be accomplished in post production, or in real time during camera playback. This combination of superb 4K and HD imaging was requested by attendees of JVC's 4K forums, conducted throughout North America last year, and is unique in the camera industry.Īnother feature requested by forum attendees was the ability to crop an HD image from a 4K frame. HD is recorded on a single memory card in a format compatible with most editing systems. In addition to 4K imaging, the GY-HMQ10 also captures and records astonishing 1080i or 1080/60p full HD, with extraordinary detail provided by its 8.3 megapixel imager and superior lens. Using MPEG-4 technology and a variable bit rate H.264 codec operating at up to 144 Mbps, the GY-HMQ10 records up to two hours of 4K video to economical SDHC or SDXC memory cards. This capability opens up applications in cinematography, medical microscopy, telepresence, specialized observation / surveillance, and live wide-view event coverage. Unlike many high end 4K cameras, the GY-HMQ10 is able to output 4K images to a monitor or projection system in real time with virtually no latency. JVC's exclusive Falconbrid LSI processing takes raw image data from the camera's CMOS device and dematrixes (deBayers) it in real time. There just hasn't been the ability to capture, process, display and record full 4K images in real time until now. Likewise, high end digital motion picture cameras may capture 4K images, but often provide a raw data output to an external storage array for later processing-again due to lack of processing power in the camera. Motion video capture with these cameras has always been done at a lower video resolution because of lack of processing power. High resolution 4K still picture imaging has been around for several years in DSLR cameras. "The GY-HMQ10 is a breakthrough product that opens up 4K imaging to users who previously wouldn't have considered it." "We're witnessing the birth of what is destined to become a broad market for full 4K end-to-end production," said Edgar Shane, general manager of engineering. Powered by JVC's Falconbrid large-scale integration (LSI) chip for high-speed signal processing and a 1/2-inch CMOS imager with 8.3 million active pixels, it delivers real-time 3840×2160 footage at 24p, 50p, or 60p. WAYNE, NJ (January 10, 2012) – JVC Professional Products Company, a division of JVC Americas Corp., today announced the GY-HMQ10, the world's first handheld 4K camcorder, which captures, records, and plays video images at four times the resolution of high definition television.
