JVC Handheld 4K Camcorder GY-HMQ10 announced at the CES 2012 - International Consumer Electronics Show

JVC Professional announced the GY-HMQ10 is the world’s first handheld 4K camcorder, which captures, records, and plays video images at four times the resolution of high definition television. Powered by JVC’s Falconbrid large-scale integration (LSI) chip for high-speed signal processing and a 1/2-inch CMOS imager with 8.3 million active pixels, it delivers real-time 3840x2160 footage at 24p, 50p, or 60p.

“We’re witnessing the birth of what is destined to become a broad market for full 4K end-to-end production,” said Edgar Shane, general manager of engineering, at the International Consumer Electronics Show, CES 2012, in Las Vegas. “The GY-HMQ10 is a breakthrough product that opens up 4K imaging to users who previously wouldn't have considered it.”

High resolution 4K still picture imaging has been around for several years in DSLR cameras. Motion video capture with these cameras has always been done at a lower video resolution because of lack of processing power. Likewise, high end digital motion picture cameras may capture 4K images, but often provide a raw data output to an external storage array for later processing—again due to lack of processing power in the camera. There just hasn't been the ability to capture, process, display and record full 4K images in real time until now.

JVC's Falconbrid LSI processing takes raw image data from the camera's CMOS device and dematrixes (deBayers) it in real time. Unlike many high end 4K cameras, the GY-HMQ10 is able to output 4K images to a monitor or projection system in real time with virtually no latency. This capability opens up applications in cinematography, medical microscopy, telepresence, specialized observation / surveillance, and live wide-view event coverage.

Using MPEG-4 technology and a variable bit rate H.264 codec operating at up to 144 Mbps, the GY-HMQ10 records up to two hours of 4K video to SDHC or SDXC memory cards.

In addition to 4K imaging, the GY-HMQ10 also captures and records 1080i or 1080/60p full HD, with a 8.3 megapixel imager and superior lens. HD is recorded on a single memory card in a format compatible with most editing systems. 

Another feature is the ability to crop an HD image from a 4K frame. This can be accomplished in post production, or in real time during camera playback. The “trimming” feature makes HD cropping easy using the camera's touch panel LCD monitor.

Similar in size to JVC GY-HM150 ProHD camcorder, the GY-HMQ10 includes a build-in F2.8 10x zoom lens with optical image stabilizer, as well as a color viewfinder and 3.5-inch touch LCD monitor with a new intuitive user interface. The GY-HMQ10 is built in a lightweight form factor.

The GY-HMQ10 is equipped with manual level controls for audio, with audio metering in the LCD and viewfinder displays. A microphone holder and two balanced XLR connectors with phantom power are located on the handle. The camera is also equipped with a built-in stereo mic for ambient sound pickup.

Other features include JVC’s patented Focus Assist, as well as manual and auto control of focus, iris, gain, shutter, gamma, color matrix, and white balance. 

The GY-HMQ10 has a list price of  $4,995 and will be available in March, 2012.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T33 Camera

SONY DSC-T33 Camera 

 

 

 

Sony's best-selling Cyber-shot® T-series of digital still cameras just got even slimmer with the introduction of the 5.1-megapixel DSC-T33 model.

 

With a depth of just one-half inch, the new camera packs a range of powerful features into Sony's thinnest model to date. It sports a large 2.5-inch LCD viewfinder, occupying about two-thirds of the back of the camera, so friends and family can gather round and enjoy images the moment they are captured.

Incredible Image Quality

One of the camera's most distinctive features is an anti-reflection Clear Photo LCD, ^™ which enhances viewing quality by preventing reflected light from interfering with the displayed image. The LCD offers a number of improvements, including higher contrast, brightness and resolution. Whether you're entertaining at home or snowboarding with the family, the LCD allows you to spot your subject easily, no matter the lighting conditions.

"The T33 is a worthy addition to our outstanding line of T Series digital cameras," said Hiroshi Takahashi, vice president for digital imaging at Sony Electronics. "Its improved visibility and refined design make it a must-have for image-conscious consumers looking for a powerful yet stylish digital camera."

Easier to Operate

The new camera is simple to use, incorporating a built-in, electrically-operated lens cover that opens instantly so you never miss a shot. With a single push of the power button, it springs to life in less than a second. A subtle relocation of controls also makes the camera easier to grip and operate.

The camera maintains its trim design thanks to a Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® optical lens, which operates within the camera rather than extending out. It also has a 5.1 megapixel CCD image sensor and a 3X optical zoom to ensure cutting-edge image quality.

Speed and Stamina to Spare

Sony's Real Imaging Processor™ circuitry, in the Cyber-shot T33 is lighting fast, so it can shoot full-resolution images at one-second intervals. And with approximately 180 shots per charge of the camera's InfoLithium™ battery, you can snap away to your heart's content without fear of running down the power.

The T33 camera offers more than great still pictures. With optional Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media cards, the camera can capture and play back high-resolution motion video. The MPEG-VX Fine mode helps to record MPEG video with 640x480 pixel resolution at 30 frames per second, up to the capacity of the memory card being used.

Cyber-shot Station

With the supplied Cyber-Shot Station USB cradle, there's now a better place to put your digital camera other than a dresser drawer or desk. Using the cradle, the DSC-T33 camera can play back slideshows on a TV or transfer images to your PC -- all while charging the camera's batteries. And when connected to a PictBridge^™-compatible printer, such as Sony's PictureStation^® DPP-FP30 digital photo printer, printing a specific image is a breeze.

The Cyber-shot DSC-T33 camera will be available in March for about $450.
