The GY-HM700 combines JVC's popular compact shoulder form factor with a new level of
performance suitable for demanding applications in mainstream production, electronic news-
gathering and cinematography. Add to that the convenience of solid state recording, the
economy of widely available SDHC media, and the world's fastest workflow, and it's easy to
see why the GY-HM700 is today's most complete and versatile professional camcorder.

Uncompressed Audio with Manual Controls
The GY-HM700 records 2 channels of uncompressed LPCM (lin-
ear pulse code modulated) 16 bit audio sampled at 48Khz. Audio
levels can be controlled manually, or
automatically using AGC. An audio
meter is provided in the LCD and VF dis-
plays to facilitate adjustment. Balanced
XLR connectors are provided on the
camera for an external microphone
and/or wireless receiver. 48V phantom
power is available for each microphone.
Versatile input switching allows the
m i c r o p h o n e
signal to be
directed to the desired channel. A shot-
gun microphone is provided with the GY-
HM700U.
Connectivity
HD/SD SDI Output
For live broadcast applications, or for monitoring, the GY-
HM700 provides an uncompressed, 4:2:2 full HD signal via its
HD/SD SDI connector in any HD mode.
The HM700 also allows the camera
operator to deliver a standard definition
SDI pool feed or microwave feed while
recording to the SDHC card in full high
definition. The SDI signal can come
from either the live camera or from
memory playback. When 24p modes are
selected, the signal will contain
Varicam™ (720p24 only) flags to facili-
tate post production. The downconvert-
ed video may be in either PAL or NTSC depending on the HD mode
selected: 60Hz (24p, 30p, 60p/i) = NTSC, 50Hz (25p, 50p/i) = PAL.
It is also possible to output the menus and clip viewer via the
HD/SD SDI output.
Component or Composite Video Output
(selectable)
Component HD signals can be output via the BNC connectors on
the camera. The signal will always be in the format being captured
or played back. (Cross converting to another format is not possible.)
If a downconverted composite signal is desired, the output can be
switched to provide NTSC (when HD is 24p/30p/60p/i) or PAL (when
HD is 25p, 50p/i) signals. Downconverted composite signals can be
especially useful when providing an SD feed for a live webcast
while simultaneously recording full HD. The composite output can
also be provided when playing back recorded high definition mate-
rial.
Simultaneous DV/HDV Output via
IEEE-1394
Downconverted standard definition DV signals are available
through the 4-pin IEEE-1394 connector. These signals can be
recorded on most "Firewire" recorders, including the
DRHD100GB100 dockable HDD recorder. Again, these signals will
be in either the NTSC or PAL mode depending on the HD mode
selected (60Hz or 50Hz) and can be output while recording full
high definition to the built-in SDHC memory cards, or when play-
ing back HD material. When an SP high definition mode is select-
ed (either 19.7Mbps or 25Mbps), the camera can also output an
HDV transport stream compatible with the DRHD100GB100
through the IEEE-1394 connector.
Remote Camera Control Connector
A 6-pin remote connector provides a TTL interface to an optional
JVC RM-LP25U, RM-LP57U, or RM-LP55U control unit. Extensive
control options are available including shading, paint, iris, gamma
level, knee, gain, shutter and black level. Functions vary with each
unit.
