(Las Vegas, Nevada--April 7, 2014) Everyone wants to be first, especially news operations. Over the past few years, JVC Professional Products Company has introduced a number of firsts for the broadcast industry, and the 2014 NAB Show is no exception. JVC is dedicated to delivering products that help broadcasters be first on-air and first on-line, with innovative, built-in IP connectivity that encourages broadcasters to embrace the cloud and leave the microwave or satellite truck in the parking garage.
Two years ago, JVC launched the era of IP-based newsgathering with the introduction of its 600 Series ProHD mobile news cameras. The handheld cameras had an impressive list of features, including a built-in wide angle 23x autofocus zoom lens, native file recording and superior low-light performance. In addition, the GY-HM650’s built-in IP connectivity, combined with JVC’s exclusive dual codec design, provided advanced capabilities including tablet-based remote control and viewing, metadata insertion, and FTP clip transfers.
