Main Features

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 in addition to recording at 150 Mbps for 4K shooting with H.264 codec, this camera recorder also supports a recording mode of 70 Mbps. Videos can also be recorded in Class 10 SDHC/SDXC memory cards.

In addition to the 50 Mbps 4:2:2 color sampling recording in conventional HD shooting, the camera recorder also supports 4:2:2 recording mode in 4K 30p/25p/24p , thus achieving even finer color representation.

The 12x optical zoom supports zooming from 29.6 mm at the wide-angle end, and dynamic zoom up to 24x with the use of a high-resolution sensor (during HD/SD recording), allowing the faces of distant portrait subjects to be captured.

This camera recorder is built in with a high-performance 1/2.3-inch (effective pixels of 9.03 megapixels, 1/2.5-inch) CMOS sensor with a resolution of 12.4 megapixels, achieving a significantly enhanced sensitivity of F5.6 with the high-definition and advanced noise-reduction technology. You can produce recordings with excellent gradation even when shooting in a low-light scene or at a location where lighting cannot be used.

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.

This camera recorder can be operated from network devices such as PC and tablet during 4K shooting.
The RTMP protocol supports video and audio streaming via the network during HD/SD shooting, YouTube Live and Facebook Live. In addition, the camera recorder also supports “SMPTE 2022-1”, which allows high-definition data transmission easily at low cost, and “Zixi”, a cloud service that enables highly-reliable and stable data transmission.

Station name, program name, or news title according to the recorded content can be entered easily by using a smartphone or tablet, and this information can be superimposed on the recording clip or streaming images. The color of the text bar can be selected from several pre-installed colors and you can even customize to your preferred image using a free PC application.

Announcement and advertising images can be superimposed on the shooting screen for live distribution and for recording onto an SD card. Up to 50 image files can be saved in the camera recorder and they can also be used as a slide show.

The camera recorder can be automatically detected using the Streamstar X series from Streamstar connected to the same LAN, making it easier to connect multiple units.

This camera recorder can be controlled by using a remote camera controller RM-LP100. Control from external devices is indicated as a tally display on the LCD and VF.

With the detailed settings of the Color Matrix Adjustment, when shooting is performed using multiple cameras, colors in different cameras can be adjusted, and a color of the user’s preference can be set on this camera recorder.
The “Setup Files” saved on the SD card can also be used to enable the same setup status for other GY-HM250/GY-HM180.

Equipped with a high luminance priority recording mode that reduces overexposure of brightly lit images. By making the brightly lit areas high contrast, the images will appear more natural.

Allows users to check the overall trend of the exposure level on a histogram and assists in preventing overexposure and blocked-up shadows.

A moving subject can be effectively portrayed by shooting smooth slow motion images.

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.

For GY-HM250, 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. A built-in optical image stabilizer feature is also available.

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 9 buttons and 2 rings are available to assign the buttons and rings with different functions.

ND filters are built into this camera recorder. You can adjust the amount of light according to the brightness during shooting by switching the 3-position ND filter (OFF, 1/4, 1/16).

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.
