WAYNE, NJ — JVC Professional Products Company (http://pro.jvc.com) has lowered the price on its GY-HM710 ProHD camcorder, which was introduced earlier this year. The GY-HM710 is a compact, shoulder-mount camcorder designed for ENG news, documentary, event coverage, and educational applications. As part of the JVC Power Promotion, a free Anton/Bauer power system package is available for a limited time with the purchase of a new GY-HM710.
The GY-HM710 features Focus Assist and a :20 Pre Rec (retro cache) feature, which continuously records and stores footage in cache memory, helping to prevent missed shots. Its $5,995 list price includes the camera head with bayonet lens mount, viewfinder, microphone, Anton/Bauer battery plate, and Canon 14:1 ENG lens.
Customers who purchase a new GY-HM710 from an authorized JVC Professional reseller between now and the end of 2011 are eligible to receive an Anton/Bauer AB-DIONIC-PKG battery and power system package directly from JVC. Valued at $1,185, the package includes an Anton/Bauer DIONIC 90 Li-Ion battery, Tandem 70 InterActive charger, and AC power supply.
The GY-HM710 has the same 3-CCD imaging system found in other ProHD models, and records 1920×1080 HD footage in 1080p and 1080i at 25 Mbps or 35 Mbps. JVC’s native file recording technology allows recording in ready-to-edit file formats for Apple Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere (.MOV), as well as other major NLE systems (.MP4), to non-proprietary SDHC cards. For legacy applications, the camcorder can also record SD footage (480i) as standard DV files (.AVI or .MOV).
