Lovers of 4K and Nikon glass, rejoice: JVC has just launched a 4K large-sensor camcorder that will use Nikon F-mount lenses. The JY-HMQ30 camera will operate in manual focus mode only — even with AF glass — though f-stop settings will be controllable in-camera for modern lenses with no aperture ring. As with the company’s fixed lens GY-HMQ10, the interchangeable model will record AVC/H.264 4K video at up to 60 fps onto four separate SDHC cards, each capturing an HD-sized quadrant with a total maximum data rate of 144Mbps — and also capture 1080/60p video at 28Mbps onto a single card. Other features include a JVC 4K clip manager that’ll convert files to Apple’s ProRes422 codec, live 4K, 60 fps output to a monitor or portable recorder, 4K time-lapse recording, a focus assist function and stereo XLR microphone inputs. Though the company’s taking orders for the 1.7 million yen ($18,000) camera starting today in Japan, there’s no word yet on availability or pricing stateside — but you can probably start polishing up those Nikon lenses soon.

I remember back in the days when the Sony Walkman was all the rage, and we lived in the world of VHS video recorders. Camcorders were a luxury back then, and those who were well off enough to afford one of these puppies certainly had a field day recording all of their fond family memories to be reviewed later on. After that came the digital revolution, and digital camcorders and cameras grew at an explosive rate, but somehow or rather, the advancement in technologies concerning the camera module on smartphones saw dedicated digital cameras and camcorders being pushed to a smaller market share, as most of the videos and photos you see online these days are captured using smartphones. Japanese firm JVC has come up with their masterpiece, the JVC Procison GC-PX100, which is a professional looking camcorder.

The JVC Procison GC-PX100 is a premium camcorder that was specially designed to capture high-quality video of fast-moving action, where it delivers high bit rate progressive recording in order to deliver high resolution HD images, and all of that would be accompanied by high-speed recording for super slow-motion video. Not only that, in order to keep up with the times, the camera’s high performance will work alongside Wi-Fi connectivity and specialized apps so that the GC-PX100 is ideal for capturing and analyzing fast-moving action.

The JVC Procison GC-PX100 is capable of shooting Full HD 1920 x 1080/60p video at 36Mbps, which is a bit rate that enables Full HD slow-motion playback, making it perfect for motion analysis as well as those who want to include special effects. You can be assured of premium performance on this puppy, thanks to its fast F1.2 lens with 10x optical zoom, 1/2.3” 12.8 megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor and optical image stabilization. The inclusion of multi-format recording also delivers the flexibility to select the HD format which best suits the situation.

Those who are interested can pick up the JVC GC-PX100 for $999.95 a pop.

JVC isn’t a huge name in the headphones market — they’re best known for their camcorders — but they’ve been making headphones for quite awhile now too. The company just launched five new pairs of headphones that will be added on to the company’s current line of Xtreme Xplosives headphones, which feature over-the-ear and in-ear models.

Three out of the five new headphones (HA-MR77X/HA-MR55X/HA-SR44X) include a one-button remote and a microphone that works with iPhone, as well as Android and BlackBerry devices. The remote allows users to play, stop, and skip music tracks, as well as answer and hang-up phone calls. The remote and the microphone are built inline with the headphone’s cord.

The two remaining models — the HA-M55X and HA-S44X — come without the remote and microphone, but they deliver comparable audio quality to the other three models. Besides the built-in remote and microphone, there’s not a lot of differences design-wise between the five pairs of headphones, although each pair includes a different driver for different audio needs.

The HA-S44X and HA-SR44X are priced at $30 and $40, respectively, and both come with a 1.57” (40mm) driver. The HA-M55X and HA-MR55X are priced at $50 and $60, respectively and come with a 1.97” (50mm) driver. The HA-MR77X cost $100 and include a 2.24” (57mm) driver. JVC claims these headphones are focused on getting the best bass sound possible, and if you want in on these new cans, they’re available now.

JVC showed off a prototype 8K Super Hi-Vision projector in 2008 at CEATEC, and now it’s ready to ship a real product later this month, dubbed the DLA-VS4800. JVC’s e-Shift pixel technology is at play here, which we first saw in consumer products with the ‘4K’ projectors it shipped in 2011, and updated in last year’s models. Basically the D-ILA display panel inside the device is half the resolution (in this one, 4,096 x 2,400) but projects two images alternated at 120Hz, one shifted slightly diagonally. This creates the impression of a higher res display, without actually upping the pixel count.

Based on our demos of the tech at CEDIA for the last two years, the effect is very convincing, however with AV Watch’s presumed price tag of 25 million yen ($261k US — and that’s without the 4 available lenses, which have no price), we might want a few more real pixels, if such a product were available for purchase. Still, if you want the first 8K display device on the block, this is your only choice, unless you can convince Sharp to part with one of its sweet 8K Super Hi-Vision LCD prototypes (we’ve asked, we’ve begged, we’ve planned Ocean’s 11-style heists — it’s not possible.) The other issue is that you’ll still need some content to view, and with the roadmap currently putting test broadcasts in 2016, leaving this one to the museums and planetariums it’s intended for may be the best course of action.
