JVC Professional Europe Ltd. today announced the GY-HMQ10, the world’s first handheld 4K camcorder, which captures, records and plays video images at four times the resolution of high definition television. Powered by JVC’s Falconbrid large-scale integration (LSI) chip for high-speed signal processing and a 1/2-inch CMOS imager with 8.3 million active pixels, it delivers real-time 3840×2160 footage at 24p and 50p.

“We’re witnessing the birth of what is destined to become a broad market for full 4K end-to-end production,” said product manager, Gustav Emrich. “The GY-HMQ10 is a breakthrough product that opens up 4K imaging to users who previously wouldn’t have considered it.”

High resolution 4K still picture imaging has been around for several years in DSLR cameras. Motion video capture with these cameras has always been done at a lower video resolution because of lack of processing power. Likewise, high end digital motion picture cameras may capture 4K images, but often provide a raw data output to an external storage array for later processing – again due to lack of processing power in the camera. There just hasn’t been the ability to capture, process, display and record full 4K images in real time until now.

JVC’s exclusive Falconbrid LSI processing takes raw image data from the camera’s CMOS device and dematrixes (deBayers) it in real time. Unlike many high end 4K cameras, the GY-HMQ10 is able to output 4K images to a monitor or projection system in real time with virtually no latency. This capability opens up applications in cinematography, medical microscopy, telepresence, specialised observation / surveillance, and live wide-view event coverage.

Using MPEG-4 technology and a variable bit rate H.264 codec operating at up to 144 Mbps, the GY-HMQ10 records up to two hours of 4K video to economical SDHC or SDXC memory cards.

In addition to 4K imaging, the GY-HMQ10 also captures and records astonishing 1080i or 1080/50p full HD, with extraordinary detail provided by its 8.3 megapixel imager and superior lens. HD is recorded on a single memory card in a format compatible with most editing systems, along with the ability to crop an HD image from a 4K frame. This can be accomplished in post production, or in real time during camera playback. The “trimming” feature makes HD cropping easy using the camera’s touch panel LCD monitor.

Similar in size to JVC’s popular GY-HM150 ProHD camcorder, the GY-HMQ10 includes a build-in F2.8 10x zoom lens with optical image stabiliser, as well as a colour viewfinder and 3.5-inch touch LCD monitor with a new, intuitive user interface. The GY-HMQ10 is built in a familiar, comfortable and lightweight form factor for hours of field production with minimum fatigue.

The GY-HMQ10 is equipped with manual level controls for audio, with audio metering in the LCD and viewfinder displays. A microphone holder and two balanced XLR connectors with phantom power are located on the handle. The camera is equipped with a built-in stereo mic for ambient sound pickup.

Other features include JVC’s patented Focus Assist, as well as manual and auto control of focus, iris, gain, shutter, gamma, colour matrix and white balance. Plus, the camera has the unusual capability of live 4K output via four HDMI terminals.

“Historically, JVC has been a leader in camcorder and display technology, and the GY-HMQ10 is our latest breakthrough,” added Gustav. “It’s part of a larger move at JVC to bring 4K technology to a wide range of customers.” In September 2011, JVC introduced an affordable line of 4K projectors to the home theatre market. The company’s high-end 4K projectors are widely used in commercial flight simulators and planetariums. “4K is the logical step beyond HD,” he added, “and JVC is uniquely positioned to lead the industry in this new direction.”

JVC’s innovative approach to professional 4K will be unveiled in a series of industry announcements beginning at CES in Las Vegas and continuing throughout 2012.

The GY-HMQ10 has a list price of approx. € 5.850,= and is expected to ship in March 2012.

For many broadcasters and other media publishing organisations the development of connected TV services is being held back by the problem of delivering to the many different platforms. SysMedia Connect neatly addresses this issue – without treating each platform as a separate project, thereby avoiding the associated repeat development and ongoing management costs.

SysMedia Connect provides a content management system to create and control your service, building the structure, entering and editing content and integrating with External XML sources. The system sits alongside your existing infrastructure to allow new services to be delivered without disrupting your web operations or your asset management and transaction systems.

The SiteWriter component provides a flexible solution to deliver content to the many HTML-based platforms, which although similar are also so subtly different that service providers often have to treat each as a separate development. SiteWriter is built around a core set of components that take content from the SysMedia Connect CMS and render it into HTML, with platform-specific code added to manage the differences between platforms.

SysMedia Connect can also deliver content to platforms that do not natively use HTML, such as MHEG5, OpenTV and iOS, using third party applications which interpret the site description language used by Connect.

Advanced Signal Generator for HDMI with 3D Test Feature.

Finally an advanced Test Tool for advanced HDMI Features:

According the pace of new HDMI Developments, Gefen introduces a new HDMI Pattern Generator/Signal Analyzer, supporting new HDMI 1.3 and 1.4 Features.

Made to be taken with you on every Job

Thanks to its very handy Format and low Weight, the GTV-HD-MPSG is made to be taken with you for every Installation, Integration and Troubleshooting Job. It fits nearly in every Pocket!

Affordable, even for smallest Companies or advanced Home Users:

By using new Chipsets and reducing the Number of Interfaces to HDMI, the Price of the Mini Pattern Generator is kept low and very affordable. This allows equipping all your Technicians with an own unit. So time saving Effects can be multiplied. Even advanced Home Users can make use out of the Product as it allows evaluating Products before buying them or checking the Home Theater installation.

Test Displays, analyze Sources:

The GefenTV Mini portable Pattern Generator comes with HDMI Output and Input. This allows for Testing/Adjusting Displays using Audio and Video and EDID Test pattern, as well analyzing HDMI Sources by displaying the Content of the HDMI AVI Info File. It can be even connected between Source and Display for continuous control. It supports 25 Timings/Resolutions in SD and HD up to 1080p/60Hz and 12bit Deep-Color as well as VESA Resolutions up to 1920×1200.

HDMI1.4a 3D support:

The GTV-HD-MPSG delivers HDMI Test patterns for “Top-Bottom”, Side-by-Side” and “Frame-Packing” 3D formats up to 1080p/24Hz.

Audio Return Channel  (ARC) support:

Latest TV with integrated DVB-S, -C and –T Tuner support HDMI “ARC”. This means the received Audio Signal is sent upstream to a HDMI AV-Receiver connected to the TV’s HDMI Input. This allows leaving out an extra cable for the Audio signal. For checking those Audio Return channel Signals, the GTV-HD-MPSG can be used as an interface for sending such audio signals to AV Receivers by using TOSLink connection.

KSV counter for HDCP sources:

When distributing HDCP protected content to many Displays this relies on the sources capability of being able supporting enough KSV (Key selection Vector) for all Displays and Splitter. As this information is normally not available from the source manufacturer, adding a source to your application is often a trial-and-error game. The GefenTV HD Mini Pattern Signal Generator has an integrated HDCP KSV counter that can exactly evaluate a Source (like BluRay Player or Set-Top-Box) for the number of KSV supported. This feature is typically only available in test gear costing several thousand Euros!

Integrated Multi-Channel Audio Test Signal :

The integrated Sine Wave Generator supports LPCM 7.1Ch. 48/96kHz, LPCM 5.1Ch. 48/96kHz, and LPCM 2Ch. 48/96/ 192kHz.

Built-in “EDID Detective” :

As well as its bigger “Brother” GTB-HD-SIGGEN, the GefenTV HD-MPSG has a build in “EDID Detective” allowing for storing Display EDID and simulating it to a source for Trouble-Shooting of EDID related problems.

Easy to use:

With its clearly readable OLED Display, the external On-Screen-Display Menu (OSD) and capacitive touch buttons, the GTV-HD-MPSG is easy to use, as it guides users through all settings for easy Operation.

The perfect Companion for the GTB-HD-SIGGEN:

With using the GTV-HD-MPSG together with the GTB-HD-SIGGEN, you can test and evaluate a complete Digital signal Management setup without the need of using unreliable or unknown Sources and Displays. For instance use the GTB-HD-SIGGEN as the sink and the GTV-HD-MPSG as a easy to carry-on source you can easily check an installation for Bandwidth, Video and Audio Support as well track down HDCP and EDID conflicts. This solution saves you hours of precious time allowing for a professional on-Site evaluation and calibration of HDMI Systems.

Field upgradeable:

Finally the GTB-HD-MPSG is Firmware upgradable via 3,5mm Mini-TRS jack for future use.
