Ikegami HDK-99 camera systems form part of the UNICAM-HD series. The imaging section comprises three 2.6 megapixel high-performance CMOS image sensors which deliver high picture quality HDR at Full-HD 1920 x 1080 resolution with progressive-scan. HLG mode maintains the high contrast required for HDR and conforms to the ITU-R BT.2100 international standard. Noise is less than -62 dB and sensitivity is a high F12. The sensors natively support 1080i/59.94, 1080i/50, 720p/59.94, 720p/50, 1080p/29.97, 1080p/25 and 1080p/23.98. Also supported by the HDK-99 are 1080p/59.94, 1080p/50, 1080i/119.88, and 1080i/100 3G formats.

A Lens Aberration Correction function minimizes resolution loss and colored edging caused mainly by optical lens deviation. Quick EZ Focus Assist enhances the viewfinder signal, enabling the camera operator to make critical focus adjustments. Area size, area color, edge color and display time on the viewfinder are all adjustable from the camera menu.

Developed for use with the HDK-99 and other Ikegami UNICAM cameras, the BSX-100H base station provides 3G/HD signal outputs as standard. Optional additions include a plug-in media-over-IP interface module which allows video, audio and metadata to be transported as independent IP multicast streams. The BSX-100H can also process the HD output from the HDK-99 into 4K-UHD for output via 3G-SDI quad-link. This option is activated by a purchasing a software key.

Ikegami's OCP-300 control panel supports conventional one-by-one ICCP (Ikegami command) control, and Ethernet-based control. It incorporates a 7-inch touchscreen color LCD with rotary encoders plus a joystick for iris and pedestal control. A control depth feature allows the selection of basic, complete and customized operating access. Control configurations can be stored to removable SD Memory Card. Options available for the OCP-300 include support for shared operation of up to 100 cameras. PoE+ connectivity eliminates the need for external power supplies. Cat 5e Ethernet cable lengths of up to 100 meters (325 feet) are supported.

The VFL201A is a 2-inch monocular viewfinder with an analogue interface developed for the UNICAM-HD camera series. It incorporates a high resolution 960 x 540 pixel QHD LCD with realistic full color reproduction. An integral heater enables deterioration-free panel performance even at low ambient temperatures.
