Product Overview

The JVC GY-HC500U is a versatile UHD 4K professional camcorder built for both traditional and IP-based workflows. Its 1-inch CMOS sensor and integrated 20x optical zoom lens deliver exceptional image quality, while the 40x lossless dynamic zoom extends your reach without sacrificing clarity.

Designed for modern production demands, this camera records 10-bit ProRes 422 at 4K 50/60p to an optional SSD and streams HD over IP with SRT protocol for reliable, low-latency delivery. With three manual control rings, dual XLR inputs, and a high-resolution LCOS viewfinder, it provides the precise control and professional connectivity required for demanding shoots.
