Answering the needs of professional users for flexibility and image quality,
the JVC GY-HMZ1U enables super bright 3D capture at Full HD resolution in
a range of formats, including 24p. Compatibility with existing production systems
is maintained thanks to JVC's unique L/R Independent format as well as
the widely used Side-by-Side format. Supplied software splits the 3D file into
separate left and right image files for Non-Linear Editing workflow support.

JVC 3D TWIN HD GT LENS
Designed by JVC and manufactured to strict quality standards, the
Twin HD GT Lens features several aspherical lenses and extra-low
dispersion glass to minimize chromatic aberration caused by light
refraction for sharp, high-contrast images even at the edges of the
frame. The result is an industry-leading super bright F1.2 lens that
delivers a remarkable level of detail and clarity, resulting in stunning
3D images.
Fully synchronized 5-times optical zoom in 3D mode
1/4” 3.3M Back-illuminated CMOS Sensors
Twin Back-illuminated CMOS Sensors capture high-resolution
images with superior low-light performance.
New Automatic Stabilization System
Automatic stabilization corrects the image displacement of the twin
lenses and stabilizes the optical axis, resulting in smoother 3D
images, even when using the 5x optical zoom.

High Quality AVCHD Recording
The GY-HMZ1U can also shoot high-quality 2D AVCHD-format HD
recording at UXP (24Mbps), XP (17Mbps), SP (12Mbps) and EP
(5Mbps) modes. The recorded image is 1920x1080/60i Full HD.
Multiple HDMI™ Output Options
The optimal HDMI™ output format can be selected depending on
the application, including Side-by-Side, Frame Packing, Frame
Packing for Interlace or 2D.
Handle with Two XLR Microphone Inputs
A removable handle with two built-in XLR microphone inputs is
included.
Zebra Pattern Select
Switchable between 70–80%, Over 100% and OFF.
3.5” Glasses-free 3D Touch Panel LCD Monitor
An on-board 3.5” 920,000-pixel touch panel LCD monitor allows 3D
video monitoring without the need for 3D glasses.
3D Digital Stills
3D still images can also be captured at up to 2 Megapixel
(1920x1080) resolution. 2D images can be captured at 2.9 Megapixel
(2304x1296) resolution.
New FALCONBRID™
High-speed Image Processor
The newly developed
FALCONBRID™ high-speed imaging engine makes possible
the simultaneous processing of independent left and right Full HD
1920x1080 images at up to 34 Mbps. The single-chip processor is
also responsible for calculating the image displacement and
adjusting the parallax for accurate and sharp 3D image recording.

SDXC/SDHC/SD
Full HD 3D Recording and Output
JVC's unique L/R Independent format allows 3D footage to be shot at
Full HD 1920x1080 resolution at 24p or 60i. The GY-HMZ1U retains
compatibility with several other shooting modes, including the widely
used Side-by-Side 3D format for conventional AVCHD recording.
3D to L/R Conversion
Software supplied with the GY-HMZ1U converts the original 3D
footage files into independent left and right image files, which can
be ingested into all major NLE systems for efficient 3D editing.

Parallax Adjustment
A unique JVC algorithm automatically adjusts parallax,
altering the 3D convergence point according to the distance of
the subject from the lens. Manual adjustment is also possible.
