seconds; in the 50Hz modes, the cache is 3.0 seconds. When Pre Rec is activated, a "P" will be displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD monitor.

Continuous Clip Mode

In this mode, the GY-HM700 creates a single clip file from multiple trigger presses. This is ideal when "in camera editing" is preferred. The complete shot sequence is instantly available as a single clip. When recording in the Continuous Clip Mode, time code can be either free run or in the REC mode.

Drawing from its experience in developing rack mount encoders used by major television stations, JVC developed a proprietary codec capable of providing highly efficient compression up to 35 megabits per second, a bitrate that can support full 1920 x 1080 sampling. This results in recorded images of

35exceptional quality. MPEG2 long GOP is the most widely accepted broadcast standard compression supported by all popular editing systems and broadcast servers. In the HQ mode, the encoder operates with a variable bit

Mbps rate average of 35Mbps. The SP mode records at a constant bit rate of either 19.7Mbps or 25Mbps to ensure compatibility with a wide range of equipment.

The GY-HM700 supports all major HD signal formats including 1920 x 1080, 1440 x 1080 and 1280 x 720.

Variable Frame Rate Recording (Over crank, Under crank)

When recording in the 720p 35Mbps mode, the camera can be set to record at a frame rate different that the playback rate. This capability makes it possible to record slow or fast motion when the recording is played back at 24p or 30p.

Operability

Compact Shoulder Form Factor

Weighing only 8 lbs including lens, viewfinder, microphone and battery, the GY-HM700 rests comfortably on the right shoulder providing stable, steady shots. Unlike some oversized hand held models, the GY-HM700 becomes part of the shooter similar to larger cameras but without the fatigue associated with them. The handle has been redesigned for better carrying balance, and to accom- modate wear- ing gloves in cold weather.
