Main Features

This camera recorder enables recording of HD format images on an SDHC card, and also playback of these images.

New Viewfinder

With a high resolution of 852x480 in 0.425 inches, the new viewfinder is now more robust and enables more accurate focusing.

High Resolution LCD Monitor

You can edit the recorded clips directly with Final Cut Pro.

Updated User Interface

The sophisticated user interface allows more intuitive operations. Thumbnail display is also available for you to select a recorded clip for easy playback.

Recording on SDHC Memory Card (Class 6)

The absence of mechanisms with the use of SDHC (class 6) as recording media brings about increased operation reliability. In addition, the improved compatibility with computers enables high-speed data transfer to NLE as well as reduction of operating costs.

Compact Shoulder Style

By inheriting the compact shoulder style from the GY-HD100 series which is widely accepted in the industry, more stable shooting can be done on this camera recorder while its weight remains similar to that of a handheld camera recorder.

35 Mbps High Image Quality Mode

This camera recorder is equipped with a 35 Mbps high quality mode, in addition to the HDV mode bit rate (19/25 Mbps).

Lens Interchangeability

Existing lens can be used, thus saving on costs. You can also select the most appropriate lens according to your shooting requirements.

Dual Media Slots

Continuous recording is possible by loading two SDHC cards into the dual media slots, thereby allowing a long recording time.

Wide Variety of Recording Formats

This camera recorder supports various HD formats (1080i, 1080p, 720p) and can be used under various environments. It also supports 1440x1080 and 1920x1080 full resolution in the 1080 format.

Professional Batteries

Batteries such as Anton Bauer and IDX batteries that are used in the broadcast industry can be used in this camera recorder.

Support for Wide Variety of Output

Adoption of MPEG-2 Long GOP for Easy Editing

Shortens editing and output time by adopting MPEG-2 codec, which puts less stress on the editing computer.

High Resolution via New [Triplex Offset]

2.5kx1.4k pixels are generated with the new Triplex Offset and a high resolution of more than 900 horizontal lines and 1000 diagonal lines is achieved using the proprietary front processing.

New [Spot Meter] Function

The brightest and darkest positions on the screen are automatically detected and displayed together with the dynamic range. As this is a pre-gamma value, it allows you to understand the lighting ratio and prevents overexposure or underexposure in shooting scenes where lighting is controlled.

DV Transcode Output

In consideration of the usage in SD environment, IEEE1394 output can also be encoded in DV format.
