The GY-HC500U Handheld Connected Cam 1″ 4K Professional Camcorder by JVC is a UHD 4K camera that can shoot at frame rates that are compatible with both NTSC and PAL. Additionally, this camcorder is intended to function smoothly with both traditional workflows as well as IP workflows.
In addition to having a 1-inch CMOS sensor and an incorporated 20x optical zoom lens, this camera also has the capability of creating a 40x digital zoom. The camera is capable of capturing in UHD, HD, and SD, and it also allows you to record in SD as a proxy, with recording speeds of up to 30 frames per second on the built-in media card slots or up to 60/50 frames per second on an optional SSD. Recording can take place in either HLG or JLog1 thanks to the camera’s capability for HDR (10-bit).
The camera is able to capture in a variety of ProRes formats in addition to MP4, and it can broadcast HD content over IP when it is connected through a wired connection. Iris, focus, and zoom are all controlled manually using the integrated 20x zoom lens’s three separate control rings.
