3-CCD camera system with 720p HD CCDs

The GY-HD250 uses three 1/3” high definition CCD image sensors. Each array has a pixel resolution of 1280 x 720 and uses a micro lens system. Since this native resolution matches that of most HDTV displays, the need for image scaling is eliminated, further enhancing the quality of the recorded images. Other advantages of these CCDs include sophisticated circuitry that virtually eliminates lag and image burn.

Uncompressed 720/60p live signal output

In addition to providing superior quality HD recording in the HDV format, the GY-HD250 can capture and output both digital and analog HD signals at 60 frames per second. Ideal for live broadcasting, the uncompressed full-resolution signal (either 720p or converted 1080/60i) can be output via the built-in HD-SDI and component analog terminals, providing an ideal feed to a video server, HD switcher or microwave link.

Professional functions

Compact shoulder mount design

JVC’s ProHD camcorders are the only professional HD camcorders to feature a compact shoulder mount design. Like its predecessors, the GY-HD250 offers excellent mobility and enhanced usability, while its flexible range of ergonomic adjustments ensures that camera operators, regardless of stature or physique, can support the camcorder steadily and, above all, comfortably.

Professional functions and switch layout

In addition to the Full Auto Shooting to handle difficult or variable lighting environments, the GY-HD250 is equipped with an array of functions that give professionals creative flexibility. These include, amongst others, zebra, gain, white balance and full shutter control. Also, the GY-HD250’s switches have been positioned where professional camera operators can expect them. This helps make shooting more intuitive, precise, easy, and error-free, because the learning process is minimized dramatically, making the GY-HD250 the ideal camera for any assignment.

Detachable 230,000-pixel LCD color viewfinder

The viewfinder’s eyepiece can be moved backwards and forwards and can also be adjusted laterally for left or right eye shooting, enabling it to fit the operator comfortably. JVC’s own proprietary and patented Focus Assist control ensures fast and easy

focusing. To make focusing even easier, a black and white mode is available. Stronger contrast and reduced color noise make visualization and composition easier in this mode and put less strain on your eyes so you can shoot for longer periods. You can also keep using the viewfinder even when using the LCD display. When not required, the viewfinder may be detached.
