The JVC GY-HC900CHU 2/3" HD Connected Camcorder (Body Only) is designed with advanced IP connectivity, suiting it to ENG, studio, and sports applications. It features three 2/3" CMOS image sensors that deliver high sensitivity, low noise, and a wide dynamic range. With support for the broadcast-popular MPEG-2 35/25 Mb/s and production-quality MOV/H.264 formats, the GY-HC900CHU provides a variety of recording options to suit your projects. A dual SD card slots enable redundant, relay, and backup recording modes. It's equipped with a new powerful communications engine that truly makes News-over-IP a reality with a streamlined ENG workflow that's both reliable and cost-effective. It offers a comprehensive fiber solution for advanced EFP and studio installations

Incredible Camera Performance
The heart of the GY-HC900 is a production-quality imaging system that begins with a B4 mount lens. The camera adapts to a variety of lenses and automatically corrects for aberration. The 2/3-inch CMOS sensors combined with an F1.4 prism, produce full HD images with an excellent sensitivity of F12 at 60Hz (extended mode) and a high SNR of 62dB (standard). JVC has paid particular attention to dynamic range and provides an HDR mode for expanded creative expression.

Memory Card Recording
Dual memory card slots are provided for standard SDHC/SDXC media. Flexible recording options include redundant, relay, and backup modes. The GY-HC900 supports both the popular MPEG-2 35/25Mbps format, widely used by television broadcasters and the more efficient. MOV H.264 format capable of delivering production-quality 1080/60p 4:2:2 10-bit recordings. In this mode, recordings can be made at frame rates up to 120fps for ultra-smooth slow-motion effects. The camera also records proxy resolution video clips for offline editing or online posting.

Enhanced Connectivity
The GY-HC900 incorporates a new processing engine that enables recording and low latency streaming, and simultaneous decoding for return video and IFB. Talent in front of the camera can engage in a 2-way interview with return video and audio while streaming live to air—all of this without any external boxes or backpacks. Depending on the mode, latency can be as low as 500ms for both outgoing and incoming video. Cellular bonding takes place with the optional snap-on SFE-CAM module, or with a Wireless LAN connection to one of our bridge units. The GY-HC900 is equipped with Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Wireless LAN technology for high-speed, long-range communications.
