Expanding the Possibilities with Advanced 

Features in a High Definition Camcorder

Newly-developed 23x Fujinon Auto Focus Zoom 
Lens with Manual Functions
The GY-HM600 is equipped with the newly-developed 
Fujinon wide angle 23x zoom lens, giving the highest 
magnification in the industry. Delivering superior 
low-light performance and ensuring brightness at the tele end, 
the lens offers F1.6-3.0, a focal range of 29mm-667mm 
(35mm equivalent) and 
includes servo zoom, manual 
focus, and iris rings, along 
with a four-position (clear, 1/4, 
1/16 and 1/64) ND filter. Other 
features include an optical 
image stabilizer, chromatic 
aberration correction.

High Performance Full HD 1/3-inch CMOS 
Sensors
At the heart of the GY-HM600 are three, 
1/3-inch CMOS sensors, each capable of 
capturing full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution 
images. Offering an excellent sensitivity of 
F11 (60Hz) /F12 (50Hz) and a remarkable 
signal-to-noise ratio, the devices provide 
superior precision and color reproduction with 
minimal aberration.

Revolutionary FALCONBRID™ Image 
Processing Engine 
FALCONBRID™ is JVC’s high-speed processor 
for advanced video applications. Delivering 
tremendous processing power on a single 
chip, the on-board FALCONBRID™ engine 
processes large amounts of video data 
at exceptional speeds. Together with this 
technology, superior image quality has been realized with 2D DNR 
processing and compensation circuitry for wide dynamic range.

MPEG-2 and AVCHD Recording 
The GY-HM600 supports both the popular 
MPEG-2 Long GOP 35/25/19Mbps format, 
widely used by television broadcasters, and the highly efficient 
AVCHD 24/17Mbps mode, which provides compatibility with a wide 
range of affordable editing systems. This means that professionals 
have unprecedented flexibility to meet production standards through 
a wide range of workflows.
