KARK-TV, the NBC affiliate for the Little Rock/Pine Bluff, Ark. television market, has purchased three JVC GY-HM790U ProHD cameras for use in its local news production operations.

The cameras have been used for studio broadcasts on a daily basis since June and are currently operating in standard-definition resolution. The station is planning to move to high-definition news production in early 2011.

KARK-TV is owned and operated by Nexstar Broadcasting.

The cameras will be used to expand WGHP-TV’s widescreen news coverage.

While the new JVC cameras are currently being used for SD production, the station is expected to move to HD production early this year.
