Why Choose ProHD  
Memory Camcorders?  
The professional video industry is moving toward a tapeless, flash memory-based workflow.  
JVC ProHD leads the way using SDHC recording media, offering advantages in terms of media cost  
and reliability, and Native File Recording to realize a faster, simpler and more efficient workflow.  
What’s more, ProHD integrates seamlessly into your existing systems and production infrastructure.

Non-Proprietary, Affordable  
& Reliable Recording Media  
The combination of ProHD and SDHC recording media confer significant advantages in terms of cost savings, shooting  
flexibility and reliability. The provision of twin card slots on the GY-HM700/HM100 models allows operators to record  
seamlessly over multiple cards.  
Widely Used, Available Anywhere  
Among the many types of flash media on  
the market today, SDHC stand out as the  
de facto standard. And while sales of  
professional video tape have remained  
largely static over the last few years, sales  
of flash media* have skyrocketed – with the  
result that SDHC cards are widely and  
readily available all over the world.

Economical & Cost Efficient  
As the use of SDHC media has become  
more widespread over the last few years,  
its cost per gigabyte has fallen dramatically,  
to a point where it is now a consumable  
item and comparable to professional video  
tape in terms of cost per hour of video. And  
while prices for specialized media cards for  
professional video use have also fallen,  
they remain far more expensive than SDHC  
media per gigabyte, added to which, older  
codecs generally use higher bit-rates and  
thus require more storage space.

Robust & Reliable  
SDHC media has already proved itself as a robust and  
Media reliability  
reliable format that meets the demands of the professional  
user. Even when compared to expensive proprietary flash  
media, SDHC can hold its own in terms of data storage life,  
operating temperature and humidity, and number of  
read/write/erase cycles. Clips can be protected from  
accidental deletion or deleted if no longer needed.  
Damaged clips (due to improper eject, etc.) may be  
repaired with the "restore file" function.

Native File Recording  
No File Re-Wrapping, No Re-Encoding and No Waiting  
Native File Recording — the ability to record directly to the native file formats of non-linear editing systems — is the feature  
that will accelerate and streamline your production teams’ workflow both in the area of ENG and in the post production.  
Needless to say, these gains in production efficiency translate directly into significant cost savings for your business.  
Common File Wrapper with QuickTimeMOV & XDCAM EXMP4 Formats  
ProHD memory card camcorders are designed to support most  
professional non-linear editing systems. Users of Apple’s Final  
Cut Procan record directly in QuickTimeMOV format, while  
XDCAM EXMP4 file format* recording ensures broad  
compatibility with other major NLE systems, including those  
from Avid, Adobe and Canopus. Support for native file formats  
eliminates any loss of quality when video is brought into the NLE  
system for editing.

Note:  
SxS  
(SxS for GY-HM700’s  
MP4 format only)  
• Playback compatibility may not be guaranteed on the different types of products  
due to variation of supported recording mode.  
• MP4 is the compliant file format used on the XDCAM EX™.  
• SxS is a flash memory card designed for professional video cameras with a  
high-speed PCI Express interface.  
Immediate Import & Editing  
MOV file  
Almost 5x faster  
Files recorded to SDHC media are  
immediately editable without  
conversion or file wrapping,  
making on-the-fly editing possible  
directly from the card. What's  
more, the relatively small size of  
MOV/MP4 files means that when  
you need to transfer clips to HDD,  
it is quick. In contrast, on-the-fly  
editing in FCP of competing  
formats is only possible after file  
wrapping, and much larger file  
sizes significantly increases clip  
transfer times.

Smooth Integration into Existing  
Facility's System and Devices  
ProHD memory card camcorders are designed to integrate seamlessly into the majority of existing post-production  
infrastructure, and into existing workflows based on the file systems and codecs in common use in today’s  
broadcasting industry. Migrating to ProHD requires little additional infrastructure investment or restructuring.  
Native MOV/MP4 File Recording  
Native support for QuickTimeMOV and  
MP4 file formats mean full compatibility  
with not only production workflows based  
on Apple’s Final Cut Probut also  
workflows based on other popular NLE  
systems, including Avid Media Composer,  
Adobe Premiere and Canopus Edius.  
Together these systems account for around  
95% of the installed base of professional  
NLE systems, making these native file  
based ProHD camcorders a natural choice  
for almost any production facility.

Broadcast-Standard 35/25/19 Mbps Encoding  
ProHD uses the industry-standard MPEG-2  
Codec  
Long GOP (Group of Pictures) codec to  
compress and encode video recordings.  
The three standard encoding bit-rates in  
use today are supported: 35 Mbps (XDCAM  
EX™ workflow), 25 Mbps (HDV1080i  
workflow), and 19 Mbps (HDV720p  
workflow). This ensures compatibility with  
around 90% of the industry, making ProHD  
a highly flexible recording solution.

Saving Facility Costs  
ProHD’s support for “Super-Encoded” HD format  
gives you full HDV720p capability with a real-time  
data stream of just 19 Mbps (2.4MB/s). A one-  
minute news clip therefore requires only 150MB of  
storage per minute of video, compared with up to  
900MB for competing professional systems. This  
economical bandwidth requirement translates into  
substantial cost savings for broadcasters that  
consume large amounts of media by reducing the  
need for expansion of file server capacity and  
network bandwidth.

Eco Reasons for Memory Card Workflow  
Moving from tape-based to memory card-based production results  
not only in efficiency gains and cost savings — there are ecological benefits too.  
Maintenance-Free Mechanism  
Flash memory recording media has several ecological  
advantages over tape. With no moving parts card are  
more robust than cassettes, require less power in  
use, and fewer resources in manufacture. They are  
also highly reusable, eliminating video tape waste.  
Without complex mechanical tape transports,  
memory card camcorders consume less energy,  
require less periodic maintenance and fewer  
replacement parts than their tape-based

Space-Saving Media  
Compared to DVCPRO-HD LP cassettes, SDHC cards  
are incredibly compact, dramatically reducing storage  
space requirements for archived recordings. Six JVC  
protective carriers (each containing up to three SDHC  
cards) occupy the same space as one cassette. Storage  
space saved per hour of video is even more startling:  
while the LP cassette holds two hours of DVCPRO-HD  
video, six cases of three 32GB SDHC cards can store  
some 60 hours of 19 Mbps HD video.
