Products highlight HDR and 4K capabilities

Ikegami, a leading manufacturer of specialised cameras, image processing and transmission equipment, will bring its latest broadcast product line at CABSAT 2018, taking place 14th - 16th January at the Dubai World Trade Centre, UAE.

The UHK-430 is a 4K portable camera system employing three newly-developed 4K-native 2/3 inch CMOS sensors which provide full 3840 x 2160 ultra-high definition resolution, plus the depth of field required for studio and outdoor production. The camera is equipped with a B4 bayonet mount compatible with 2/3 inch HD lenses. An optional SE-U430 expander accommodates large studio or OB lenses. Visitors will also be able to see the Ikegami UHK-430 camera on the Canon and Fujifilm stands.

Ikegami's Unicam HD camera series, the HDK-73, offers the HDR compatibility that is now so important to the market. The camera, which features F13 (1080i50) high sensitivity 2/3-inch CMOS sensors with exceptional picture quality in either 1080i or 720p, has a HLG hybrid log gamma for HDR picture origination. This feature means it is now possible to shoot a scene with high dynamic range without losing gradation in the highlights.

Currently in its research and development stage, visitors to Ikegami's stand will be the first to experience the HQLM-3125X, Ikegami's first HDR monitor. The latest addition to Ikegami's product line up adheres to the industry standard for 4K resolution, boasting 4096x2160 10bit, allowing 4K content creators to work with ease. Other highlights include 1000nits brightness and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio.

Also on display is Ikegami's 4K monitor HQLM-3120W. This monitor is equipped with two channels of 12G-SDI input as standard for efficient configuration with 4K equipment such as cameras and switchers.

In addition, two new monitors in Ikegami's HD 60 series - the HLM-1760WR and the HLM-960WR which were launched at IBC 2017 - will also be available to view. The HLM-1760WR is a space-saving and affordable 17 inch video monitor with low power consumption, wide critical viewing angle, excellent brightness and contrast, fast response time and faithful colour reproduction. Employing an LED-backlight Full HD (1920x1080) panel, it incorporates multi-format SDI, 3G-SDI, HDMI (HDCP) and VBS inputs as standard. The HLM-960WR is a multi-format 9-inch monitor with a full HD (1920x1080) LCD panel and LED backlight, and a 3G-SDI input as standard.

The HDL-45E is a 3CCD multi-purpose HDTV Camera achieving superb picture quality, high stability and excellent reliability with the incorporation of Ikegami's cutting edge digital technology. With its compact one-piece form, this camera is ideal for applications such as a weather camera, news flash camera or POV camera.
