The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) show is next week in Las Vegas, and JVC will use the occasion to introduce the new flagship of its ProHD camcorder line. The GY-HM790 features three 1/3-inch CCDs, which allow a lighter, more compact shape for greater maneuverability. It produces 1920 by 1080 pixel images and can record 1080i, 720p, and even SD (480i) video for workflows that haven’t made the jump to HD.
Adopting the tapeless workflow that JVC introduced with the GY-HM700, the GY-HM790 features a dual card slot that records to SDHC media cards. With its HD/SD-SDI port, the GY-HM790 delivers an uncompressed full HD signal for live monitoring, and a FireWire port lets users back up footage economically with an HDD recorder.
The GY-HM790 will be available this summer for $11,995 (list). A low-light version will be available in the fall.
