for a wide range of applications. With 4x the resolution of Full HD, the video quality of this 4K camera is better in every way—it achieves
greater detail, truer colors, and overall amazing footage. And now, working with 4K has never been easier! Insert an SDHC/SDXC (UHS-I
Speed class 3) memory card and record hours of 4K material. Recordings are made using the Quicktime (.MOV) le format and are
compatible with many popular editing systems. Connect a 4K Ultra HD monitor with a single HDMI cable, and view the camera’s live 4K
signal. You can also play back recorded les directly from the camera.

camera for broadcasting and cinematic production houses alike. The color accuracy of 4:2:2
enables the GY-LS300 to deliver exceptional color resolution even when images are in sharp
contrast to the background which is particularly useful when strong colors are in contrast
to bright backgrounds or in green screen uses.
The ability to record H.264 4:2:2 24-60p at 50 Mbps makes the GY-LS300 an ideal
irtually Lossless H.264 50Mbps Recording
V
recording mode used in HD SLRs. MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 oers approximately twice the compression
eciency of conventional codecs, and oers superior motion prediction, so even at the same bit
rate it provides a smooth and detailed picture with virtually no block noise even when recording
rapid action sequences. Added to this, the 50Mbps bit rate is high enough to support full HD
1920 x 1080 encoding in 24-60p or 50i/60i, resulting in stunningly detailed HD images.
The GY-LS300 is also equipped with the H.264 Extreme-High Quality (XHQ) 50Mbps (MOV)

HD. These les are signicantly smaller than HD les, and thus are very suitable for immediate posting to the web. A le recorded
in the 960 x 540 mode is approximately 1/10th the size of a full HD le recorded at 35 Mbps, and therefore takes a fraction of the time to
FTP from the camera and to post. The smaller les may be quickly imported to an iPad for easy editing using iMovie or Pinnacle Studio.
Transporting video to the web or back to the studio has never been faster. With the GY-LS300, it is also possible to create SD and HD les
simultaneously.

Advanced Streaming Capabilities
With F.A.S.T. the GY-LS300
is able to stream to the ProHD
Broadcaster (BR-800) which can
route streams from multiple
cameras to various destinations
including decoders, content
delivery networks (e.g. USTREAM)
or other servers. The camera can
also be remotely monitored.
The optional Broadcaster BR-800 actively
monitors the quality of the incoming
stream(s) and instructs the camera(s) to
repeat packets (ARQ) and/or apply forward
error correction (FEC). Up to 30% packet
loss is corrected, delivering a robust, reliable
HD stream in most cases. Stream status is
provided to the camera operator with an
indication in the viewnder.
The BR-800 records incoming streams
automatically or at a preset time. Streams
may be downloaded, or set for automatic
playback later. Zixi error control ensures
outstanding image quality. Recorded
video streams may also be tagged for
video-on-demand (VOD) playback. The
VOD menu provides URLs in various
streaming formats for outside playback.
A single click on the server console brings up
the remote control for the connected GY-LS300.
Control functions include lens (zoom, focus, iris)
and camera settings (gain, shutter, WB, paint,
LoLux, etc.) Zoom presets may be registered
and triggered remotely. Recording and live
streaming may also be triggered remotely —
invaluable for minor adjustments when a single
reporter is operating the camera.
