The GY-HC900ST is the studio version of our renowned 2/3-inch broadcast camcorder. With no compromise in image quality, it offers a level of connectivity not found in any other studio camera. It features three 2/3-inch CMOS image sensors that deliver high sensitivity, low noise and wide dynamic range. When combined with the FS-900 studio fiber system, it's the ideal choice for high-end studio and EFP applications. The camera head connects directly to the FS-900 fiber back module seamlessly via a 68-pin interface, and feeds 3G-SDI signals, control, audio, sync, and intercom to the base station.

Extraordinary camera Performance
The heart of the GY-HC900 is a production-quality imaging system that begins with a B4 mount lens. The camera adapts to a variety of lenses and automatically corrects for aberration. Three 2/3-inch CMOS sensors, combined with an F1.4 prism, produce full HD images with excellent sensitivity of F12 at 60Hz (extended mode) and a high SNR of 62dB (standard). JVC has paid particular attention to dynamic range and provides an HDR mode for expanded creative expression.
A 4-position optical filter compensates for a variety of lighting conditions. Positions are: 1 (clear), 2 (1/4 ND), 3 (1/16 ND), and 4 (1/64 ND).
Memory card Recording
Dual memory card slots are provided for standard SDHC/SDXC media. Flexible recording options include redundant, relay and backup modes. For contribution quality, the camera supports recording in the ProRes HD422 format to a plug-in SSD module (optional). The GY-HC900 also supports both the popular MPEG-2 35/25Mbps format, widely used by television broadcasters, and the more efficient .MOV H.264 format capable of delivering production quality 1080/60p 4:2:2 10-bit recordings. In this mode, recordings can be made at frame rates up to 120fps for ultra-smooth slow motion effects. The camera also records proxy resolution video clips for off-line editing or on-line posting.
ProRes 422 RECORDING TO SSD
Slide in an optional KA-MC100G SSD module, and record in the Apple ProRes 422 HD format. ProRes offers virtually lossless intra-frame compression and speeds up post production. The KA-MC100G accepts standard SATA M.2 SSD memory.
SSD memory can also be used for backup recording. While the Rec trigger is used to REC and STOP recording on one SD card (Slot A), the other SD card (Slot B), or "EXT" (SSD), can act as a continuous backup that overrides the pause function. A 2-terabyte SSD drive will provide over 50 hours of backup capacity when recording in the 70Mbps XHQ (.MOV) format.
The Industry's Most Connected Camera
JVC has taken connectivity to the next level with the GY-HC900. The camera incorporates a new processing engine that enables recording and low latency streaming, and simultaneous decoding for return video and IFB. Talent in front of the camera can engage in a 2-way interview with return video and audio while streaming live to air—all of this without any external boxes or backpacks. Depending on the mode, latency can be low for both outgoing and incoming video. Cellular bonding takes place with the optional snap-on SFE-CAM module, or with a Wireless LAN connection to one of our bridge units.
SRT: QoS (Quality of Service) Technology
SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) is an open source video transport protocol that enables the delivery of high-quality and secure, low-latency video across the public Internet. SRT optimizes streaming performance across unpredictable networks with secure streams and easy firewall traversal, bringing the best quality live video over the worst networks. It accounts for packet loss, jitter, and fluctuating bandwidth, maintaining the integrity and quality of your video.
SRT provides end-to-end security, resiliency and dynamic endpoint adjustment based on real-time network conditions to deliver the best video quality at all times on any network.
SRT is built-in and can be dynamically adjusted for optimal stream performance and quality. Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) is included with SRT. End-to-end 128/256 bit AES encryption makes sure your content is protected from contribution to distribution.
SRT features
How
Details
STABILITY:
Delivers broadcast-quality video over the Internet. Resilient to network congestion, high jitter, and packet loss.
Error
Correction
ARQ
When packets are lost, the SRT decoder requests an encoder (camera) to resend lost data to eliminate potential video dropouts and artifacts. Up to 30% of data loss can be recovered.
FEC
Forward Error Correction adds redundant data to the stream to be used to recover packets lost due to unstable connection, Internet congestion, and high jitter.
SECURITY:
Protects video channel from unauthorized access. Provides extra security when moving video over public networks.
Encryption
Stream ID
The SRT decoder only accepts the streams with embedded, encoder specified Stream ID. All other streams are ignored. The single port can be utilized to receive multiple streams differentiated by unique Stream IDs.
AES
The entire SRT stream is encrypted with the industry-standard AES-128/256 standard. The "passphrase" is required on both encoding and decoding sides.
SYNCHRONIZATION:
Multicamera SRT streams synchronization for REMI.
Embedded
Timecode
NTP
Multiple cameras TC can be synchronized with the NTP server via LAN or Wi-Fi Internet connection.
LTC
End-to-end remote cameras synchronization solution with CONNECTED CAM Studio KM- IP4000/6000 series of video switchers.
VITC
Industry-standard TC compatible with Haivision, VITEC, and other decoders.
KA-EN200 H.265/HEVC Encoder
With firmware version v0300, the GY-HC900 streams using the highly efficient HEVC/H.265 compression format which delivers broadcast quality streams at 50% of the normal bitrate, or contribution quality 4:2:2 10-bit streams at higher bitrates. The optional KA-EN200 encoder is required for H.265/HEVC operation.
The GY-HC900 is equipped with Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Wireless LAN technology for high speed, long range communications.
For studio and EFP operation, JVC offers the flexible FS-900 camera module which attaches directly without cables and feeds a 3-in-1 base station.
Broadcast Graphic Overlays
With v0300 firmware, the GY-HC900 is now the first 2/3-inch camcorder to offer lower third and full screen broadcast graphic overlays. Graphics can be either added on-the-fly using a smartphone or tablet, or pre-loaded from an SD card. This feature allows the camera operator to generate live streams that include a television station logo, without using a separate character generator.
