JVC GY-HC500E Handheld 4K Production Camcorder

The JVC GY-HC500E is a handheld 4K professional camcorder for production that offers uncompromised image quality. Shoot 4K UHD with HDR, J-Log 1, and record to SSD (solid state drive) media in 10-bit Apple ProRes 422 at 4K UHD up to 60p/50p frame rates. You can also record UHD (30p/25p/24p), full HD, or proxy files to SDHC/SDXC media.

The GY-HC500 connected camera features high-performance FHD live streaming with low latency and a full complement of IP remote control and viewing features. It’s truly the most advanced and versatile camcorder in its price range.

4K UHD 60p/50p Apple ProRes 422 10-bit Recording

The JVC GY-HC500E can record in Apple ProRes 422 for attention-grabbing 4K 60p/50p image creation. Apple ProRes 422 HQ offers virtually lossless intra-frame compression, which speeds up post-production. The footage is recorded in native file formats that are understood by most major editing applications without transcoding.

This is helpful for an efficient workflow of editing and post-processing. The 4:2:2 format also provides richer color information and 10-bit recording delivers rich gradations—a definite advantage for grading work after recording.

High-Speed Recording for 1080p Slow Motion Playback

High-speed recording (1920×1080) at up to 120 fps (59.94 Hz) or 100 fps (50 Hz) is available for smooth slow-motion playback (up to 1/5 slow at 24p mode). It helps create artistic effects and lets you watch replays to examine sporting skills.

SSD Enables Extended Time 4K UHD 60p/50p Shooting

Large-capacity, readily-available SSDs (2.5″, M.2 SATA) are compatible, so extended 4K UHD up to 60p/50p video recording is possible. Just plug it into the camera’s extended slot (using the optional SSD adapter, KA-MC100G). SSD media delivers excellent sequential read speed to tackle professional workloads. High-speed transfer of huge amounts of recorded footage is possible.

Various Codecs and Recording Formats

High-speed recording (1920×1080) at up to 120 fps (59.94 Hz) or 100 fps (50 Hz) is available for smooth slow-motion playback (up to 1/5 slow at 24p mode). It helps create artistic effects and lets you watch replays to examine sporting skills

1″ CMOS 4K Image Sensor

including shallow depth of field ’bokeh’ capability.

20x Optical/40x Dynamic Zoom Lens with Manual Functions

JVC GY-HC500E is equipped with a newly developed wide-angle 20x optical zoom lens to offer optimal magnification for shooting. When shooting in HD mode, Dynamic Zoom combines optical zoom and pixel mapping from a 4K image sensor to create seamless and lossless 40x zoom.

Take total control of the scene with three large rings for zoom, focus, and iris for smooth shooting. Other features include an optical image stabilizer and chromatic aberration correction.

Robust Body and Excellent weather resistance

Its robust body makes the JVC GY-HC500 ready to work in harsh environments and situations. Excellent construction in terms of weather resistance enables image gathering in the field with confidence.
