Expanding the Possibilities with Advanced
Features in a High Definition Camcorder
Superior HD Imaging
23x
Newly-developed 23x Fujinon Auto Focus Zoom
Lens with Manual Functions
The GY-HM650 is equipped with the newly-developed
Zoom Lens
Fujinon wide angle 23x zoom lens, giving the highest
magnification in the industry. Delivering superior
low-light performance and ensuring brightness at the tele end,
the lens offers F1.6-3.0, a focal range of 29mm-667mm
(35mm equivalent) and
includes servo zoom, manual
focus, and iris rings, along
with a four-position (clear,
1/4, 1/16 and 1/64) ND
filter. Other features include
an optical image stabiliser,
and chromatic aberration
correction.

(50Hz)
Sensitivity
1/3-inch CMOS sensors, each capable of
capturing full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution images.
Offering an excellent sensitivity of F11 (60Hz) /
F12 (50Hz) and a remarkable signal-to-noise
ratio, the devices provide superior precision
and colour reproduction with minimal aberration.
For improved CMOS sensor performance,
flash-band compensation is also supported.

Advanced Processing Engine
Revolutionary FALCONBRID™ Image
Processing Engine
FALCONBRID™ is JVC's high-speed processor
for advanced video applications. Delivering
tremendous processing power on a single chip,
the on-board FALCONBRID™ engine processes
large amounts of video data at exceptional
speeds. Together with this technology, superior
image quality has been realized with 2D DNR processing and
compensation circuitry and wide dynamic range.
MPEG-2
MPEG-2/AVCHD Recording and Dual Codec
The GY-HM650 supports both the popular
MPEG-2 Long GOP 35/25/19Mbps format,
widely used by television broadcasters, and the highly efficient AVCHD
24/17Mbps mode, which provides compatibility with a wide range
of affordable editing systems. This means that professionals have
unprecedented flexibility to meet production standards through a wide
range of workflows. With the revolutionary dual codec,
the GY-HM650 now also supports simultaneous HD/SD or HD/proxy
recording, producing full HD files on one memory card while creating
smaller, web-friendly files on the other. Also supported is
the MPEG-4/AVC H.264 8Mbps SD format.

Flexible File-based Workflow
Multiple File Formats for Native Workflows
Record HD or SD footage directly in
ready-to-edit QuickTime™ MOV files,
the native file format of Apple's Final Cut
Pro™. JVC has eliminated one of the main
obstacles to achieving a smoother, more
streamlined production workflow. Native file
recording ensures your footage is ready to
edit the moment it's shot, resulting in a more
efficient workflow and no loss of image quality.
Additionally, with the MPEG-2 mode for
Windows editing environments, it is possible
to record in MP4 format (XDCAM EX™
workflow-compatible) for direct editing in other
major NLE systems, including Avid Media
Composer, Adobe Premiere and Grass Valley
Edius Pro.
MPEG-4/AVC H.264 Ultra High-Quality (UHQ) 35Mbps Recording Mode and Proxy Recording
The GY-HM650 further provides the H.264 high-quality 35Mbps
(MOV) recording mode used in HD SLRs, meaning higher bit rates for
even better image quality. The 35Mbps bit rate is high enough to
support full 1920 x 1080 encoding, resulting in stunningly detailed,
Dual SDHC/SDXC Card Slots for Maximum Versatility
MTS
Dual SDHC/SDXC card slots make the GY-HM650 a truly versatile
60i/50i
camcorder, offering such benefits as simultaneous recording and relay
recording with reliable and cost-effective media.
In relay recording mode, you can shoot continuously and seamlessly
over multiple 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. It is possible to start
editing footage from one card while still shooting to the other. With
simultaneous recording, you can easily create backup or duplicate files
as you shoot without the need for any external equipment – either for
a client copy or simply for peace of mind. Additionally, while the Rec
trigger is used to pause and unpause recording on one card, the other
card can act as a continuous backup that overrides the pause function.
With the new dual codec, it is now possible to record full HD files on one
memory card while simultaneously creating smaller SD or proxy files on
the other, providing the flexibility for a range of workflow possibilities.
SDHC/SDXC media offers the best combination of price, availability,
capacity, reliability and transfer speed. With no moving parts and no pins
or other extrusions, SDHC/SDXC cards are both durable and reliable,
and compare favorably with tape on a cost-per-minute basis.
* During simultaneous back-up recording in HD mode, the duplicate file records
in the same file format and bit rate as the original.
