JVC GY-HM790 ProHD Camcorder

JVC's new GY-HM790 ProHD Camcorder has solid state recording capability as well as studio functionality and provides outstanding image quality for demanding applications.

Featuring three 1/3-inch CCDs and a lighter more compact form factor the GY-HM790 offers excellent maneuverability in the field and more flexibility with robotic camera control systems in the studio.

The HM790 produces 1920x1080 images and can record in 1080i, 720p, and even SD (576i) for operations that have not yet made the move to HD. It records at 35 Mbps (HQ mode/variable bit rate) or 19 Mbps/25 Mbps (SP mode/constant bit rate). The camera ships with a Canon 14x zoom lens but can accommodate a variety of lenses with its 1/3-inch bayonet lens mount.

The GY-HM790 adopts the successful tapeless workflow introduced by the GY-HM700 and features a dual card slot design that records to low-cost, non-propriety SDHC class 6 or 10 solid-state media cards. JVC's native file recording technology allows recording in ready-to-edit file formats for Apple Final Cut Pro (.mov) and other major NLE systems (.mp4) that are compatible with Sony XDCAM EX workflow.

An optional ASI output module provides a direct feed from the camera to a satellite uplink or microwave transmitter via BNC - no "black box" interfaces required - for live HD video from the field. Other ENG features on the GY-HM790 include an analogue SD pool feed input, 4.3-inch LCD screen, and a high-resolution, 1.2 LCOS viewfinder. Two XLR input with phantom power offers uncompressed LPCM audio recording with manual level controls.

With it's HD/SD-SDI port, the GY-HM790 provides an uncompressed 4:2:2 fill HD signal for live monitoring, and a FireWire port provides output of SD signals or the HDV transport stream, so footage can be backed up economically with an HDD recorder. An optional SxS media recorder module attaches directly to the camcorder and allows simultaneous recording to SDHC cards and SxS media.

The GY-HM790 also builds on the studio capabilities of JVC's popular GY-HD250 camera with it's improved picture quality and cleaner studio integration. Its redesigned studio adapter sled incorporates a modular approach to multicore of fibre connectivity for a cleaner interface. Modules connect directly to the camera without external cabling, so they can be used either with the studio sled or handheld. Plus, JVC's modular approach allows the creation of additional modules to accommodate future technologies.

Other new features for studio or multi-camera use include built-in time code in/out and genlock. Accessories offered include a remote control unit, remote shader panel, 8.4-inch studio viewfinder, and multi-input special effects generators.

Budget Finance Plans

Because we regard ourselves as being an integral part of the industry, we understand what is required whether starting out on your first shooting kit or trying to win that big contract; this is why we have come up with a financial plan to assist you in meeting that all-important budget.

Personal Finance

With your BNPL agreement you have four payment options:

Pay nothing for the deferred period (6 months) and then pay the amount borrowed in one lump sum. This means there will be no charges for interest.
Pay any amount you like and as little or often as you like during the deferred period either by Switch, Debit Card or cheque. As long as you ensure the amount you borrowed is paid off before the end of the deferred period there will be no charges for interest.
Set up a standing order with your bank.
Pay nothing for the deferred period then pay over 36 equal monthly instalments at 29.8% APR.

There is a £29.00 Administration fee due on the settlement of Finance
