New JVC products at IBC

JVC headed to IBC with a couple of very interesting new products:

GY-HC500 and GY-HC550

First, the two new cameras in the Connected Cam range, the GY-HC500 and GY-HC550. JVC says they offer unmatched IP connectivity in a handheld camcorder form factor and extend the entire Connected Cam range from the shoulder-mounted GY-HC900, which was announced earlier this year and should ship next month.

The new units are aimed at the lower end of the ENG market and, more importantly, help increase 4K capability in the industry. Both models offer live streaming, FTP file transfer and remote camera control over IP. They cannot yet stream at 4K, although an upgrade to the Connected Cam technology codec gives them the new ability to stream up to 1080p50 / 60 at 20Mbps, providing users with a high-quality contribution stream over IP directly from the camera.

DLA-RS3000

Another great product from JVC is an 8K projector that does not support 8K signal input. However, the DLA-RS3000 marks the debut of the company’s e-shift technology and gives it bragging rights by bringing the world’s first professional home theater projector to achieve an 8K display to the market.

The unit is based on JVC’s latest 0.69-inch native 4K D-ILA device with a pixel pitch of 3.8㎛ and the company has also included an 18-element, 16-group lens. with full aluminum lens barrel, an auto tone mapping function to automatically adjust settings for optimal HDR10 imaging, a wide color gamut listed beyond DCI-P3, and more, the combined effect should be impressive enough.
