Extended Compatibility for Production Environments

The Next Generation of Direct File Access

Dual Format Recording (QuickTime™ for FCP™/XDCAM EX™ Compatible MP4)

Because it uses QuickTime™ as its native file format, the GY-HM150U is the perfect choice for users of Apple’s Final Cut Pro™ editing system. Both HD and SD MOV files recorded by the camcorder can be dropped directly into Final Cut Pro™, keeping them first-generation and eliminating the time-consuming process of file conversion.

You’ll spend less time preparing the files for editing, and more time letting your creativity get to work.

For users of all major NLE systems, including solutions from Adobe, Avid, Grass Valley, Vegas and Apple, the GY-HM150U supports the MP4 file format, which can be brought into your editing system without re-encoding. HDV-compatible M2T files can also be created from these MP4 files using the ProHD Clip Manager (Version 1.1).

Finally, the popular type-2 AVI file format can be recorded in SD for easy import into almost all current and legacy NLE systems.

Dual SDHC/SDXC Card Slots for Simultaneous or Seamless Relay Recording

Dual SDHC/SDXC card slots make the GY-HM150U a truly versatile camcorder. Using standard, inexpensive and widely available Class-6 or Class-10 SDHC/SDXC cards, footage can be recorded either to both cards simultaneously, or from one card to the other in relay. Simultaneous recording means 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. In relay recording mode you can shoot

continuously and seamlessly
over multiple cards. When one	Simultaneous		Relay Recording
card is full, the camcorder switches	Recording		Slot A	Slot B
seamlessly and automatically to
the other card. And because cards

are hot swappable, there is in			Card 1

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. Also when recording, clips separated with the Rec trigger can be saved as a conjoined clip using Clip Continuous Mode, and the Clip Cutter mode allows you to separate clips by using the User button as a trigger.

SD media offer 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.
