GY-HM100E
At Last, a Pro Camcorder that Speaks the
Same Language as Your Editing System
Ready-to-edit MP4 files are compatible with every major editing
system plus the world’s first native support for Final Cut Pro™
The GY-HM100E is the first of a new generation of memory card camcorders designed to integrate seamlessly into the video
production workflow. Native support for Apple’s QuickTime™ file format means that you can bring footage into Final Cut
Pro™ for editing directly without file conversion: no delays and absolutely no loss of quality. MP4 support means that you
can edit your files on most major editing systems with the same astonishing quality. With low-cost media and a lightweight,
compact body, you have a handheld camcorder that meets the needs of enthusiasts and professionals alike.

JVC Makes it Possible
Native File Recording
Record footage directly in ready-to-edit
QuickTime™ MOV files, the native file format of
Apple’s Final Cut Pro
into the timeline and start editing. Alternatively,
you can record MP4 files that are compatible
with all major editing systems.

Reliable, Low-Cost Media
The GY-HM100E uses standard, inexpensive and
widely available SDHC Class 6 memory cards.
These cards are small, light, robust and reliable,
and can be read by your computer using any
standard card reader.

Mbps
Exceptional Quality
Encoding video at higher bit-rates means just one
thing: a higher quality picture. The 35 Mbps data
rate used by the GY-HM100E is significantly
higher than most other handheld camcorders and
results in beautifully rich,
broadcast-standard HD images.
True Portability
The GY-HM100E is truly an engineering
marvel. Weighing only 1.4 kg, this super-
compact camcorder can be held
comfortably with one hand. Go-anywhere
portability makes this the ideal choice for
location shooting in even the most difficult of
environments.
Workflow
Until now, the camcorder has often been
the main obstacle to achieving a smoother,
more streamlined production workflow.
Getting footage into a file format that your
editing system could understand was a
time consuming and laborious process.
With Native File Recording, your footage is
ready to edit the moment it's shot.
