(Wayne, New Jersey--April 2, 2014) JVC Professional Products Company, a division of JVC Americas Corp., today announced Raycom Media recently purchased 165 GY-HM650 ProHD mobile news cameras for local ENG, and plans to adopt the new ProHD Broadcaster server across its news stations for managing live HD field reports from the cameras. The company began purchasing GY-HM650 cameras last year, and now has more than 300 for its ENG operations.
Raycom Media owns or provides services for 53 stations in 37 markets in 18 states, including 32 stations that produce local news. According to Dave Folsom, Raycom Media vice president and CTO, nearly all the news stations will be standardized on the JVC camcorders by the end of the year. “We are also increasing the number of hours of news and Web/mobile streaming at all our stations, which will in turn require even more cameras going forward,” he said.
