HC500 4K Connected cam by JVC Professional
GY-HC500UN CONNECTED CAM HANDHELD 4K 1-INCH CAMCORDER WITH NDI®|HX

JVC has had a long and storied career with their professional video production products. In the early 1980s I can remember when my father (who fancied himself a videographer) would gather his video equipment for family trips. Two JVC shoulder cams, two tripods as well as a Betamax and VHS recorder slung over each of his shoulders…remember that classic look of the 80s? I may look back at this fondly, but in this day and age, one might think my dad was out-of-his-mind lugging around all of this equipment…when he could just get a couple of HC500 connected cams and leave his BIGA$$ recording equipment at home.

For 2023, JVC finally ditched the 80s and embraced the new age with the offer of NDI | HX in a shoulder camera. From sports to interview to studio use, ease of integration is here to stay.

Sports production, studio use and productions on-the-go, just got easier. Setup is a breeze, and because this camera utilizes your network, you can leave your heavy cables at home. Customers asked for NDI and JVC finally delivers.

The camcorder can be set to NDI®|HX mode for a seamless live production solution for NDI®|HX-compatible hardware or software.
