JVC Professional Video, a division of JVCKENWOOD USA Corporation, introduces its first NDI®-compatible broadcast camerasthe
GY-HC500UN, GY-HC550UN
and GY-HC500SPCN, which will be on display at NAB 2023 (Booth C4218). The cameras join JVC’s previous HC500 Series handheld camcorders, which feature optimized image processing and IP performance. Designed in direct response to systems integrator requests, the NDI-compatible versions ensure that broadcast studios, schools, churches and other facilities can seamlessly incorporate the cameras within their existing IP infrastructure as a source for live video with tally and IP remote control capability. Current HC500 Series users can also have their cameras upgraded by JVC to implement the new NDI capabilities.

Already found in several of JVC’s newest PTZ cameras, NDI (Network Device Interface) is a leading technology that allows hardware- and software-based video devices to communicate and collaborate over any standard Ethernet-based network. Among the many benefits of NDI is the reduction of hardware required to operate, and the ability to send multiple video streams over a single connection. It also allows for multiple video sources to be managed in real-time, with the easy-to-use NDI Discovery function of the network. These features not only reduce overhead costs and rack space, but also ensure simplified setup and allow for greater flexibility and creativity.
