Main Features

The imaging device is equipped with a 4K Super 35 mm single chip CMOS sensor with total pixels of approximately 13.5 megapixels, achieving standard ISO sensitivity at ISO 400 and a total of 12 stops of wide dynamic range. This allows you to capture the glamour of the subject even when shooting subject with high contrast and under low-light conditions.

This camera recorder uses the Micro Four Thirds System lens mount and with JVC’s proprietary Variable Scan Mapping technology supports a variety of lenses such as Super 35 mm, Micro Four Thirds or Super 16 mm etc.
PL and EF mount lenses can also be used with the use of a mount adaptor.

Recording and playback at 30p/25p/24p are possible in 4K resolution (3840x2160 pixels), which contains information that is about four times larger than Full HD. And with the H.264 codec, this camera recorder supports high resolution 4K recording at 150 Mbps and high quality HD recording at 50 Mbps 4:2:2. Even when recording scenes with a lot of movements and fine details, it is possible to record high quality videos that are smooth and rich in details.

The image processor employed supports both 4K codec developed by JVC and simultaneous dual stream encoding, achieving a high image quality that maximizes the potential of next-generation high-resolution sensors.

An encoding bit rate higher than existing models can be set. Also, with the “Zixi” cloud service supported, which enables highly-reliable and stable data transmission, RTMP live streaming is made possible.

Inheriting the concept of our past memory camera recorders, this camera recorder supports QuickTime (MOV) and AVCHD file formats that can be directly edited on “Final Cut Pro”, an editing software from Apple Inc.

The most common SDHC/SDXC card recording system is used as the memory card. This ensures high reliability and operation at low running cost.
Various user friendly recording options are available. These include series recording which enables seamless long hour continuous recordings over the slots, dual recording of the same file to two slots, and backup recording of recording only the preferred scenes to one slot using the record and stop operations while the other slot is continuously recording.
In addition, Web files with resolution suitable for distribution over the network can be created. HD files and Web files can also be recorded simultaneously.

It is also possible to perform streaming while the recording is ongoing.

[SDI OUT] and [HDMI] terminals are equipped for digital output. 3G-compatible SDI output is supported, and external output including 4K from the [HDMI] terminal is possible. Uncompressed Full HD signals and audio signals can be output simultaneously from the [SDI OUT] and [HDMI] terminals.

The 3.5-inch 16:9 LCD display and 0.24-inch 16:9 LCOS color viewfinder provides support for critical focusing during 4K shooting. Other assist functions are also available, including magnified focus on a manually selected point.

The camera recorder is equipped with a face detection auto focus function that covers the entire screen. Switching to manual focus is also possible. Optical image stabilizer function is also supported. (*)

Switches for Gain and White Balance are available on the side panel to enable quick switching according to the shooting scene. Image quality parameters such as gamma and color matrix are also available in the menu for adjustment to the preferred tones.

Menu items corresponding to each of the 10 buttons are available to assign the buttons with different functions.

ND filters are built into this camera recorder. The amount of light can be adjusted according to the brightness during shooting by switching the 4-position ND filter (OFF, 1/4, 1/16, 1/64).

The handle unit is built in with recording button and zoom switches, and supports microphones for business use. The recording level can also be adjusted, and connection of a phantom microphone is also supported.
