GY-HM790E HD Camcorder Memory Card

The GY-HM790's innovative design offers flexibility for studio applications, and as it can be used as a shoulder-mount camcorder, it delivers outstanding ENG and sports production performance with more features than ever.

The GY-HM790 features three 1/3-inch CCDs, which allow a lighter, more compact form factor for better manoeuvrability in the field and more flexibility with robotic camera control systems in the studio. It produces 1920x1080 images and can record in 1080i, 720p, and even SD (576i) for operations that have not yet made the move to HD. The camera records at 35 Mbps (HQ mode/variable bit rate) or 19 Mbps/25 Mbps (SP mode/constant bit rate). Although the camera ships with a Canon 14x zoom lens, it can accommodate a variety of lenses with its 1/3-inch bayonet lens mount.
Adopting the successful tapeless workflow introduced in the GY-HM700 camcorder, the GY-HM790 features a dual card slot design that records to low-cost, non-proprietary SDHC Class 6 or 10 solid-state media cards. JVC’s native file recording technology allows recording in ready-to-edit file formats for Apple Final Cut Pro (.mov) and other major NLE systems (.mp4) that are compatible with Sony XDCAM EX workflow.

• QuickNative File Recording for Integrated Workflows
  With Native File Recording, JVC has eliminated one of the main obstacles to achieving a smoother, more streamlined production workflow. Until now, ingesting footage into editing systems was a time consuming process. With Native File Recording, your footage is ready to edit themoment it's shot.
• Twin SDHC Card Slots with Seamless Continuous Recording
  Loaded with two 32 GB Class-6 SDHC cards, the GY-HM790E is good for over six hours* of continuous HD shooting acrossboth cards. When one card is full, the camcorder switches seamlessly and automatically to the other card. And because cards are hot swappable, there is in effect no limit to the continuous shooting time in any mode, even with lower capacity cards. Hot swappable media also means it is possible to start editing footage from one card while still shooting to the other. The twin card slots also offer the flexibility of scene-by-scene card selection.
