The GY-HM710 utilizes three precisely aligned 1/3-inch progressive scan full HD CCDs—one each for red, green and blue primary color—and outputs full resolution in both 1080 interlace and progressive. A global shutter minimizes wobbling during quick pans and fixed pattern noise in low light conditions, contributing to a more stable image.
The GY-HM710U is equipped with a powerful MPEG2 encoder capable of compressing full 1920 x 1080 HD video at up to 35 Mbps. The result is the pristine picture quality that professional users demand, from a surprisingly compact and lightweight shoulder-mount camcorder. MPEG2 long GOP is the most widely accepted broadcast standard compression supported by all popular editing systems and broadcast servers. In the HQ mode, the encoder operates with a variable bit rate average of 35Mbps. The SP mode records at a constant bit rate of 25Mbps to ensure compatibility with a wide range of equipment.
The camera also offers SD recording for maximum flexibility. Recording in SD provides a time-saving alternative to down-conversion of HD material for SD broadcasts, which is still an industry standard in many countries worldwide. This feature offers a fundamental advantage for professionals with time-sensitive SD workflows.
The included 14x Canon KT14x4.4KRSJ HD lens is detachable, and based on the superb optics found in more expensive HD lenses. Its superior MTF provides higher resolution than typical "stock" lenses. The lens has improved lateral and longitudinal chromatic aberration characteristics and is ideal for full 1920 x 1080 imaging. Canon's internal focusing system minimizes "breathing" compared with typical focusing systems. Internal focus also makes possible a more efficient light blocking lens hood. ENG shooters will be pleased with its wider angle and consistent brightness from 4.4mm (wide) to 62mm (telephoto) with no F-drop. Operation is the same as with all professional lenses, with mechanical control of focus, and servo or manual control of zoom and aperture.
The GY-HM710 records on SDHC Class 6 or Class 10 memory cards (presently available up to 32GB), and has 2 memory card slots, for a total of up to 64GB of on board storage—enough for hours of continuous HD recording. In the relay mode, the camera automatically begins recording on the second card when the first card fills up. When the second card fills up, the camera will revert to recording to the first card slot, allowing for virtually unlimited recording lengths.
