JVC’s latest and most
advanced handheld mobile news camera, JVC GY-HM660,
is small and light enough to be used anywhere while
surpassing the performance of many traditional ENG
style units. With the latest streaming engine
offering selectable Zixi or SMPTE 2022 forward error
correction (FEC), it offers reliable, high quality
streaming without the use of a backpack or external
encoder.
It’s the world’s first camcorder
with a built-in IFB audio channel. With its long
list of professional features including a (23x) wide
angle lens and superb low light performance, the
GY-HM660 is perfect for fast paced ENG.
New High Performance Full HD 1/3-inch CMOS
Sensors
At the heart of the JVC GY-HM660
are three, newly designed 1/3-inch CMOS sensors,
each capable of capturing full HD 1920 x 1080
resolution images. Offering an excellent sensitivity
of F12 (60Hz) /F13 (50Hz) and a remarkable
signal-to-noise ratio, the devices provide superior
precision and color reproduction.
23x
Fujinon Auto Focus Zoom Lens with Manual Functions
The JVC GY-HM660 is equipped with a Fujinon wide
angle 23x zoom lens that delivers superior low-light
performance with brightness at the tele end. The
lens offers F1.6-3.0, a focal range of 29mm-667mm
(35mm equivalent) and includes servo zoom, manual
focus, and iris rings, along with a four-position
(clear, 1/4, 1/16 and 1/64) ND filter. Other
features include an optical image stabilizer,
chromatic aberration correction.
Wi-Fi and Broadband Connectivity, and FTP and
Advanced Streaming
The JVC GY-HM660 USB
2.0 host connector supports an optional wired or
Wi-Fi network adapter, or a broadband 3G/4G USB
Stick. With connection to a LAN, WAN or internet,
various wireless communications functions are
