JVC GY-HM700L7XT ProHD Camcorder with SxS Media Recorder & 17x Fujion Lens

The GY-HM700L7XT combines JVC's popular compact shoulder form factor with a new level of performance suitable for demanding applications in mainstream production, electronic newsgathering and cinematography. Add to that the convenience of solid state recording, the economy of widely available SDHC media, and the world's fastest workflow, and it's easy to see why the GY-HM700L7XT is today's most complete and versatile professional camcorder.

The GY-HM700L7XT utilizes three precisely aligned 1/3-inch progressive scan full HD CCDs—one each for red, green and blue primary color. JVC engineers have developed a unique 1/3-inch optical block with Diagonal Offset and a patented exclusive Adaptive Pixel Correlation Technique that produces resolution comparable to cameras with larger image sensors.

TheGY-HM700L7XT records on widely available SDHC Class 6 memory cards, presently available in capacities up to 32GB. The camera provides 2 memory card slots, for a total of up to 64GB of on board storage—enough for more than 6 hours of continuous HD recording. The camera automatically begins recording on the second card when the first card fills up. When the second card fills up, the camera will revert to recording to the first card slot, allowing for virtually unlimited recording lengths. Class 6 cards are required.

The GY-HM700L7XT incorporates JVC's Native File Recording technology that stores video in the ready-to-edit file format used by Apple's Final Cut Pro non-linear editing system. The ".mov" files created in the camera can be easily dragged onto the NLE timeline without conversion or rewrapping, saving time while keeping the recorded material first generation. There is no need to use an intermediate codec.

With the included SxS media recorder, the GY-HM700L7XT will record in the .MP4 format used by Sony's XDCAM EX onto high speed SxS memory cards. This compact recorder is attached directly to the GY-HM700L7XT without an adapter. Simultaneous recording to SDHC and SxS memory is also possible, providing instant backup or archival recordings. The compact media recorder provides status information on its built-in LCD screen as well as on the camera's viewfinder. Recorded video on the SxS cards can be played back on the camera's LCD monitor or viewfinder. Note: Some features available for SDHC recording are not available when using SxS cards only.
