The Power of NDI with JVC

NDI®|HX Modification for Current GY-HC500 Series

Current owners of the GY-HC500U, GY-HC550U, and GY-HC500SPCU will be able to have their camcorders modified to incorporate the new NDI®|HX features through JVC.

NDI®|HX Mode Selection

The NDI®|HX live video source capability is a mode of operation in addition to the existing output formats of the camcorder. The modification adds the NDI®|HX mode to the Recording Format System selection of the camcorder. Selecting NDI®|HX sets the camera to operate solely as a live video source (Note: Camera does not record in NDI®|HX mode).

Features available in the NDI®|HX mode include automatic camera discovery on the LAN by supported hardware and software, tally support, and IP remote control capability.

Please take a look at the GY-HC500 NDI Series brochure.

Sports Production/Coaching Camcorder overview

Score Overlays and Customization for Live Streaming and Recorded Video

GY-HC500SPC offers lower-third score overlays for recorded or streamed HD video output without an external CG or production switcher.
The camcorder comes with graphics pre-installed for a variety of sports, including football, basketball, baseball, football (soccer), ice hockey and others.
The overlays are controlled using a browser-equipped device such as a tablet or smartphone.
JVC's software utility lets customers upload team logos.
If desired, the overlay can be placed over the streamed video only, leaving the recorded video without graphics.
JVC has released PC application software which enables the user to store up to 30 team names and logo bitmaps within the camera.
Please take a look at the GY-HC500SPCN/GY-HC500SPCU brochure.

Seamless Interface with Catapult Sports Thunder HD™ and DVSport

The integrated combination of JVC, XOS, and DVSport technologies enables sports organizations to add game play metadata with recordings from various camera angles—all synchronized with a single UTC time signal thus significantly reducing the time uploading practice and game footage. Catapult and DVSport are the leading providers of digital coaching technology.

Custom Full-Screen Overlays and Slideshows

Add up to 50 full-screen custom graphics (PNG or JPG format) from an SD card to the GY-HC500SPC and store them in the camcorder for live streaming or recording in HD mode.
Overlays and slides are a perfect way to advertise your sponsors either as banners during the game, or full-screen at halftime.
It's also a great way to introduce the team members via a pre-game slideshow.

Broadcast Info Overlay on HD Video and Streaming

Designed for enhanced single-camera production, the GY-HC500SPC/HC550 produces real-time broadcast information overlays for HD recorded video or streamed video without an external CG or production switcher. Lower-third graphic overlays are generated and controlled using a browser-equipped device, such as a tablet or smartphone. Overlay designs can be created in various language characters using JVC's SDP Generator (free software).

Note: This feature is not available in 4K or SD mode.

Clip Continuous Recording

This function enables you to store a number of shots together as a single clip file. Instead of having to manage enormous amounts of files, or browsing through dozens of separate files just to gather up the scene you need, you can use pre- grouped clips for easier transfer and editing.

Exchange Format

The Sports Video Interoperability Group made "Exchange Format 1080p/720p" that allows video and metadata to be used across different applications.
