NEW GY-HMQ10 4K/2K CamcorderThe GY-HMQ10 is a newly-developed next-generation handheld 4K camcorder, featuring extremely high definition 4K2K progressive video. Ideal for any kind of application, for example including Production, Corporate/Government, Education, Surveillance and Military observations. The GY-HMQ10 will also be of interest to anyone who wants the facility to use any part of the content in 2K (2K cropping).

GY-HMQ10 provides opportunities for shooters to have four times greater coverage than similarly priced 2K shooting camcorders. This enables editors to uncover and isolate surprising details in their acquired footage from sporting events, live documentary and academic research shoots.

The GY-HMQ10 records on widely available SDHC Class 6 or Class 10 memory cards, presently available in capacities up to 32GB - or SDXC memory cards for capacities of 64GB-128GB - via four memory card slots. At the heart of the camcorder is the world’s first large-scale integration (LSI) chip, also developed by JVC, which enables high-speed signal processing, encoding and recording of the 4K2K images for both video and stills. The GY-HMQ10 uses 144 Mbps MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 for recording 4K2K video with up to 12 mio. pixels (3840x2160p), with smooth processing of progressive format and solid panning.

In 4K live playback 4 individual HD signals (1929x1080) are provided by the four HDMI outputs. This four-quadrant-signal can be connected directly at appropriate 4K displays or 4K projectors (please see following page). It is also possible to receive an down-converted 4K signal at the HDMI output during recording. This signal has a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and can be reproduced with standard monitors and projectors.With the trimming function (picture below) you can choose the 2K cropping option just by touching the LCD.

HDMI output x4(HDMI Ver 1.3)

Displaying 4K recordings or live video is ideally performed on a native 4K monitor or projector. JVC and a number of other manufacturers offer such projectors, typically used in theaters and other large screen ven-ues. Recently, some manufacturers have introduced LCD monitors with 3840 x 2160 panels and with inputs for 4K signals. It is expected that more panels such as this will become available in the coming years.Professional 4K monitors and projectors typically have four inputs, one for each screen quadrant. The GY-HMQ10 connects to these monitors using the 4 HDMI outputs provided on the camcorder.

If the monitor or projector is equipped with separate DVI or HDSDI inputs, then adapter cables or interface boxes must be used. If no 4K monitor is available, a standard HD monitor may be used since GY-HMQ10 provides a downconverted HD signal via its HDMI interface.

Achieving exact focus with 4K2K signals is critical. JVC’s Focus Assist turns focusing into a fast, easy and accurate process. When Focus Assist is activated, the picture in the viewfinder becomes monochrome and all objects which are in focus appear with colored edges. Focus Assist works in the viewfinder as well as on the LCD panel. With this function even the slightest nuances in focus can be detected. The Focus Assist function can be assigned to any of the USER buttons.Example: red edge = optimal focus, green edge = slight defocusing, blue edge = medium defocusing, no edge = unfocused. Additionally you can enlarge the image by touching the display.

Patented “FOCUS ASSIST” function:

When recording in 4K you will get four individual clips each with 1920x1080 pixels. These clips are recorded in MP4 format and can be edited with current editing programs. Please investigate whether your current editing program enables the processing and composition of 4 individual files to a complete file as optimal processing is only guaranteed if four individual files can be composed to a complete file with a resolution of 3840x2160 pixel. This is possible with Apple Final Cut Pro or X for example.

A certain amount of manual effort is also required to position these four quadrants or picture components. For this purpose JVC provides a special software tool, which merges the four quadrants to one file automa-tically. This software tool automatically copies the material from the camera to the hard disk and unites all four files.Condition for the application of this merge tool software is Final Cut 7, X or Compressor. This software tool will shortly be available for download from our homepage. As you will understand this process can take some time due to the high resolution and data volume. This time depends on the performance of the com-puter systems used. We recommend you use a computer with a minimum performance of 8 up to 12 Core. This capability lets you achieve a conversion of 4x HD to 1x 2840x2640 pixels in appr. six to four times real time. For example: you need 4 till 6 minutes to get a one minute composed file in 4K resolution.

Other editing system manufacturers are working on igual integration possibilities.

Please note: Reading of individual files in your systems can be done:a) by removal of the SD card from the camera and read by SD card reader orb) by direct connection of camera by USB.

If you want to receive some test files for checking with your system, please contact us directly. Also you can download shortly some examples from our homepage.a) Test files are available from end of Februaryb) Mac tool software is available from end of March.
