JVC Delivers Profeional Broadcast Live Streaming with the GY-HM650

(05/09/2013) JVC will be demonstrating three main product areas at IBC2 013: cameras, monitors and our new tour truck. The main highlight of the show will be the live streaming feature offered by the latest version of the GY-HM650 camcorder, which has the ability to stream broadcast-quality images whilst also recording full HD. In order to demonstrate this convergence of conventional broadcasting and streaming, JVC will broadcast a twice-daily show, streamed live from IBC, introducing the advantages of live streaming via the GY-HM650 camcorder.

JVC will also launch its latest GY-HM650 promotional tour at the show with a new truck that's located in the outdoor area (OE111). This vehicle is fitted with the company's camera products, and demonstrates mobile connectivity offered by the GY-HM650.

JVC has recently introduced firmware version 2.0 for the EBU-approved GY-HM650 camcorder, which brings live streaming capabilities to this model. Ideal for news, sport, production and web applications, the innovative live streaming feature of this camcorder enables footage to be streamed live at the same time as recording full HD to the SDHC/SDXC memory card.

When equipped with Wi-Fi, 4G or 3G connectivity via USB, the GY-HM650 can stream live video transmissions via a network connection while simultaneously recording full HD footage. Thanks to the camera's integrated dual encoder, it has never been easier to stream video via high-speed satellite networks, and no single bit' of your recordings will ever be lost. Many of our European customers also wanted the ability to stream SD images as well as 1280x720 and 1920x1080 full HD, so this has also been added to the camera's functionality. With the latest version of firmware, the camera can now stream SD at a choice of 0.3 / 0.5 / 1.5 / 3 / 5 Mbps rates, 1280x720 HD resolution at 1.5 / 3 / 5 Mbps, and 1920x1080 resolution at 2.5 / 5 / 8 Mbps rates.

Equipped with three full-HD 1/3-inch 12-bit CMOS sensors and an integrated wide angle 23x autofocus zoom lens, the camera features exceptional light sensitivity of F12 at 2000 lux. And thanks to dual JVC codecs, it records ready-to-edit .MOV and XDCAM EXTM compatible MP4 or MXF files with rich, descriptive metadata on one memory card, while simultaneously creating smaller, web-friendly files on a second card. Alternatively, record on the main SD card and simultaneously transfer the material as a live stream via a network connection. Video can be broadcast in the background via FTP thanks to the Clip Trimming' function, which allows the user to select, copy, and dub particular sequences by a single button push, and it's now also possible to directly control the metadata from the screen. In addition, the latest firmware update brings advances to the control and storage settings, together with improvements in image quality and an innovative autofocus algorithm.

To demonstrate this flexible camcorder, JVC will host a twice-daily show at IBC on the internet, introducing customers to the many possible applications for this camera and the advantages of live streaming. Thanks to the company, Blitzeinschlag (www.Video-Stream-Hosting.de), this live stream can be followed by up to 500 users on the company's website at the same time. Outside of the live broadcasts, viewers will be able to follow the events as they happen from JVC's IBC stand.

The combination of the GY-HMQ10 camcorder and the new prototype PS-840UD monitor should make for impressive viewing at IBC. The PS-840UD (prototype) has a huge screen diagonal of 84 (215 cm) and a native resolution of up to 3840x2160 pixels. Meanwhile, the GY-HMQ10 camcorder is equipped with a 4K-compatible HD lens (F2.8, 10x zoom) and an innovative Falconbrid LSI (Large Scale Integration) chip that delivers extremely fast high-definition imaging. With its 1 / 2.3 CMOS image converter (8.3 million active pixels), the compact handheld camcorder delivers 24p and 50p recordings with resolution four times that of HD (3840x2160 pixels). The camcorder can also be used as a normal HD camcorder, since video can be recorded in full HD (1920x1080) at 50p or 50i in AVCHD format on a simple SDHC/SDXC memory card.

Like the GY-HM650, the GY-HM600 has also received a firmware update, with the following changes: two additional AVCHD modes have been added (1440x1080, 5 Mbps = EP mode); significant enhancements of the encoder in terms of the SD recording quality; an Expand Focus function that allows zooming and precise setting of the focus point; plus direct access to the favourites menu. Other improvements have been made to the adjustment settings of important signal parameters using the Knee Point Setting'; the advanced white maximum has been increased to 103%; and there's simplified application of the ND-filter, i.e., an overexposure warning. The new firmware (Version 2.04) is available for both the GY-HM600 and GY-HM650 and can be downloaded for free via JVC's website at www.jvcpro.eu.
