MUMBAI: JVC Professional Products, a division of JVC US, will introduce the new variant of its ProHD camcorder line, the GY-HM790, at the television technology event NAB show in Las Vegas this year.

With a modular design and a complement of accessories, the new camera supports multicore or fiber-based production. Additionaly, as a shoulder-mount camcorder, it delivers ENG and sports production performance.
 
The camera records at 35 Mbps (HQ mode/variable bit rate) or 19 Mbps/25 Mbps (SP mode/constant bit rate).

Adopting the tapeless workflow introduced in the GY-HM700 camcorder, the GY-HM790 features a dual card slot design that records to low-cost, non-proprietary 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. 
 
The company adds that the new GY-HM790 also builds on the studio capabilities of its GY-HD250 camera with its improved picture quality and cleaner studio integration. Its re-designed studio adapter sled incorporates a modular approach to multicore or fiber connectivity for a cleaner interface. Modules connect directly to the camera without external cabling, so that they can be used either with the studio sled or hand-held. Moreover, JVC’s modular approach allows the creation of additional modules to accommodate future technologies.
