Technical Specifications

GY-HC550ESB - 4K live streaming camcorder with broadcast and sports score overlays

Product Highlights
Firmware version V2.20 is now available for the GY-HC500, GY-HC550 and GY-HC550ESB camcorders – click on the Product Support tab for the download link.

This new firmware offers new SRT adaptive bit rate streaming that can change the bit rate according to network conditions thus reducing the chance for image freezes when the network is congested. It also has a fast PCR mode for lower latency. Return video over IP now can also utilise the reliable SRT protocol for better more stable images. Vertical (SNS) video now has five cropping positions offering more freedom to the user when selecting the desired image portion to stream. New DNR settings for different shooting conditions allow the user to choose between more details under good lighting conditions and less noise in critical (e.g. ENG) applications.
