User Friendly Functions

Pre Rec Mode

How many times have you missed a crucial moment because you didn’t hit the record button in time? With Pre Rec enabled,

the camcorder continuously buffers up to 15 seconds of video, so that when recording is started the cached video is included in the recorded file, giving you an up to 15 second head start.

Interval Rec

This feature allows you to record single frames at set intervals, which can be used to shoot slow-moving scenes, such as sunsets or construction, or to capture time-lapse recordings, such as

the growing of plants.

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 than the playback rate.

This capability makes it possible to record slow or fast motion when the recording is played back at 24p, 25p or 30p. The GY-HM600 can also under-crank in the 1080p 35Mbps mode.

Cutting-Edge Connectivity

Equipped with leading edge connections, the GY-HM600 offers versatility while meeting the needs of professional applications.

For easy monitoring of footage, you can monitor from the digital SDI and HDMI outputs simultaneously, easily switching between output in HD or SD.

TC Sync

With TC Sync functionality, two GY-HM600 units can be synchronized with time code using an RCA cable. Since the terminal can be used for both in/out functions, either unit can be

the master, providing for an ideal multi-camera operation setup.

Wired Remote Control

The GY-HM600 comes with a wired remote interface

(Ø 2.5mm connector) for operating the camcorder remotely when using a tripod, jib, crane or boom.

Audio Recording and Monitoring Flexibility

The GY-HM600 provides a number of essential audio features.

Its built-in stereo microphone is ideal for capturing natural sound on location, but the camera also includes two mic/line selectable XLR inputs with phantom power.

The side panel is equipped with screws to attach a holder for an optional wireless receiver, for which there are dedicated mic and headphone jacks. Also equipped with an audio equalizer, sound can be adjusted to your liking from the GUI.

High-Capacity Battery Systems

Capture more footage and clock more recording time with the newly developed high-capacity (4900mAh) battery. In addition, it is also possible to charge the battery when the camera is switched off and plugged in using the AC adapter.

Supporting Software

JVC ProHD Clip Manager

The ProHD Clip Manager for both Mac and Windows makes it easy to manage MP4 clips on the GY-HM600’s memory cards from your computer. With a few clicks of the mouse you can copy, move

or delete clips, preview clip content, as well as view and edit clip metadata. A thumbnail view of all the clips in the current folder shows the content of each clip at a glance. Use the viewer to watch

the whole clip, or change the clip's index frame used for

the thumbnail. You can also manage folders to keep your clips organized, and check the remaining free space on a card. The latest version of ProHD Clip Manager offers an even greater level of NLE compatibility by enabling MP4 files to be converted to m2t, widely supported by NLEs.

ProHD Log and Transfer Plug-in

The ProHD Log and Transfer Plug-in is a plug-in for Apple’s Final Cut Pro™ that lets you drop MP4 files recorded on the GY-HM600 into the clip bin. With the plug-in installed, you can view thumbnails of the MP4 files on a memory card from the Log and Transfer screen of Final Cut Pro™. Simply drag and drop the thumbnails into the bin to automatically convert the clips to QuickTime™, ready for use.
