JVC Professional along with its partner in U.A.E launched its new 4KCAM camcorder product line in Dubai, comprising three new handheld camcorders and a remote head camera system. The new JVC GY-HM170 and GY-HM200 handheld camcorders feature a 1 / 2.3" CMOS sensor with a 12x optical / 24x dynamic zoom lens, recording 4K Ultra HD and full HD files (H.264 4:2:2) at up to 50Mbps to readily-available memory cards. Other features include built-in ND filters, stereo microphone and 3.5mm audio input, with live 4K UHD output through a built-in HDMI connector. The GY-HM200 adds dual XLR audio inputs via an integrated handle with hot shoe and microphone mount, and is also JVC’s most affordable live streaming camcorder, streaming instantly to Ustream.

Meanwhile, the GY-LS300CHE handheld camcorder and GW-SP100E remote head camera system (comprising camera head, a recording/playback device with foldable/detachable 7-inch HD LCD monitor and a wired camera remote control panel) each use JVC’s new 4K Super 35mm CMOS sensor combined with an industry-standard MFT lens mount. They record to non-proprietary SDHC and SDXC media cards in a variety of image formats, including 4K Ultra HD, full HD with 4:2:2 sampling, SD and web-friendly proxy formats. JVC’s unique Variable Scan Mapping technology maintains the native angle of view for a variety of lenses, including Super 35, MFT and Super 16 and, as a result, lens options for the cameras are almost limitless.
