JVC (C4315) has introduced another professional solid-state camcorder. In addition to the GY-HM700, the company is showing its litter brother, the GY-HM100. This smaller camcorder is among the industry’s first to store files in the native QuickTime format for Apple’s Final Cut Pro onto SDHC media cards. more

Also new in the Panasonic booth (C3712) was a pair of new high-resolution LCD HD production monitors. Two models introduced; the 25.5-inch BT-LH2550 and the 17-inch TT-LH1710 are truly high-end.

The LH2550 provides a 1920 x 1200 pixel In-Plane Switching (IPS) panel with an expanded color gamut that exceeds the NTSC standard. It offers six color space settings, therefore supporting a wide range of high-end applications. more

You’ll have to claw your way into the crowds to see what Panasonic is calling the “worlds’ first affordable 10-bit, 4:2:2 professional HD camcorder”. more
