Multiple File Formats for Native Workflows
Record HD or SD footage directly in 
ready-to-edit QuickTime™ MOV files, 
the native file format of Apple’s Final Cut Pro™. 
JVC has eliminated one of the main obstacles 
to achieving a smoother, more streamlined 
production workflow. Native file recording 
ensures your footage is ready to edit the 
moment it’s shot, resulting in a more efficient 
workflow and no loss of image quality.
Additionally, with the MPEG-2 mode for 
Windows editing environments, it is possible 
to record in MP4 format (XDCAM EX™ 
workflow-compatible) for direct editing in other 
major NLE systems, including Avid Media 
Composer, Adobe Premiere and Grass Valley 
Edius Pro.

*H.264 SD MOV file can be edited by Grass Valley Edius Pro.

Dual SDHC/SDXC Card Slots for Maximum Versatility
Dual SDHC/SDXC card slots make the GY-HM600 a truly versatile 
camcorder, offering such benefits as simultaneous recording and 
relay recording with reliable and cost-effective media. 

In relay recording mode, you can shoot continuously and seamlessly 
over multiple cards. When one card is full, the camcorder switches 
seamlessly and automatically to the other card. And because cards 
are hot swappable, there is in effect no limit to the continuous 
shooting time in any mode, even with lower capacity cards. 
It is possible to start editing footage from one card while still shooting 
to the other. With simultaneous recording, 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. 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. 

SDHC/SDXC media offers 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.

* During simultaneous backup recording in HD mode, the duplicate file records in the same 
file format and bit rate as the original.
