The firmware update for the LS300, which was already shown at InterBee in autumn, has now been officially presented. Besides the possibility to output a 4K / UHD signal with 50 / 60p via HDMI, also an internal 4K color sampling with 4: 2: 2 (only in 8 bit / 24/25 / 30p). As it seems it is in the last mentioned mode over HDMI / SDI only HD output. Furthermore, the IP remote operation should now also function in the 4K mode. The current best option for recording 4K in 50 / 60p is Atomos' ninja inferno recorder. Thanks to a new collaboration between JVC and Atomos, both inferno recorders will work seamlessly with the camera so that the external recording starts from the camera And can be stopped, and also the J-Log1 gamma mode is supported. The update to v4.0 is free andWill be released in late May. The LS300 with its s35 sensor has been on the market for about two years now; That JVC to the NAB also still a follow-up model is, is however unlikely. What the manufacturer will show at the show can be found at collective report, according to which.
