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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Supporting Software
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.
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.
