GY-HM700 Camera: 12 Minutes with JVC

11 July 2009 One Comment

JVC’s GY-HM700 is know as the “big brother” to the recently announced GY-HM100 and is also the industry’s first native support QuickTime file format for Apple’s Final Cut Pro.

With this camera, there is no need to convert or rewrap files prior to editing. Postproduction can begin immediately after shooting. It is even possible to edit directly from the memory card. Since no transfer or re-encoding takes place, first-generation quality is always maintained.

We interviewed Ken Freed from JVC to tell us more:
