Upgrade your livestreaming setup with the JVC GY-HM250U, a professional-level camcorder that will treat your viewers to stunning 4K video quality. The GY-HM250U outputs 4K directly via HDMI for real-time go-live situations. Facebook Live optimization ensures dependable streaming every time your stream goes live; the pair of analog XLR inputs accommodates up to two microphones. The full set of professional controls is easy to operate. Meanwhile, the 12x optical zoom lens makes sure you and other subjects remain in focus at all times. The precision lens and 1/2.3-inch, 12.4MP CMOS sensor deliver crisply detailed performance in a broad range of lighting conditions. When you’re recording off stream, the twin SDHC/SDXC slots — which support dual, backup, and continuous recording — are real lifesavers.

Stream live to Facebook and other platforms

The GY-HM250U is the definitive camcorder for streaming live for the world to see. JVC’s top-of-the-line streaming engine offers compatibility with RTMP, Zixi, and Wowza streaming engines. This means you can stream live on YouTube on Monday, Twitch on Tuesday, and Periscope the rest of the week — all without compatibility issues. In fact, this camcorder will function with all major livestreaming platforms. Built-in Facebook Live integration eliminates the need for extra hardware to send your feed to Facebook. Best of all, the GY-HM250U’s “Zero Config” capability automatically configures it with other cameras when joined to the same LAN network.


Perfect for a single camera setup

For overlays and graphics, the GY-HM250U is ideal! It offers lower-third and full-screen titling without the need for a character generator or production switcher. The included software utility makes it easy to upload your logos and graphics for the lower-third display. Here at Sweetwater, we appreciate the pre-loaded color schemes and customizable text bar designs. Plus, you can control it all from your smartphone, tablet, or computer.


4K Ultra HD recording at 150 Mbps and Live Output

The GY-HM250U makes working with 4K easy. Just insert an SDHC or SDXC card, and you’re ready to capture hours of glorious 3840 x 2160 4K Ultra HD video. Your recordings are saved in the QuickTime (.MOV) file format, so they’re compatible with most popular editing systems. Ready to go live? Connect a 4K Ultra HD monitor with an HDMI cable, and view the camera’s 4K Live Output feed. You can also play back recorded files directly from the camera.


Web-friendly (proxy) file formats

If you need lower-resolution H.264 files (480 x 270p, 960 x 540p) for various web applications, you’re in luck: the GY-HM250U records them simultaneously with your full HD files. A file recorded in the 960 x 540 mode is approximately one-tenth the size of a full HD file recorded at 35 Mbps, and therefore takes a fraction of the time to upload and post to your website. These small files can be quickly imported to your iPad for easy editing with iMovie or Pinnacle Studio. With the JVC GY-HM250U, shuttling video between the web and your studio has never been simpler.


4:2:2 full HD recording at 4K/30p and 4K/24p

The JVC GY-HM250U records 4:2:2 HD signals, making it a perfect camera for your HD production work. 50 Mbps files are saved in the QuickTime format for easy editing. Conventional AVCHD (4:2:0) recording is also possible, providing broad editing compatibility in various standard HD and SD formats. Whether you’re documenting cinematic weddings or making cutting-edge music videos, ask your Sweetwater sales engineer about the JVC GY-HM250U 4KCAM Handheld Camcorder.
