These include satellite and cable television presentation studios, independent programme-making, training studios and religious television channels.

Typical performance characteristics of the HC-HD300 in 1080/59.94i output mode are 1,000 television lines horizontal resolution, 58 dB signal-to-noise ratio and 2,000 lux sensitivity (89.9 per cent white reflection) at F10 aperture. Equivalent aperture in 1080/50i mode for this light level is F11.
Camera gain be attenuated from mid level to -3 or -6 dB, or increased by 3, 6, 9, 12 or 18 dB. Integral neutral density filters (100 per cent, 25 per cent, 6.2 per cent and 1.6 per cent) can be switched in as required, plus operator-selectable 3,200, 4,300, 6,300 and 8,000 kelvin electronic colour conversion. An electric shutter can be set to 1/100, 1/120, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1,000 or 1/2,000 second speed.
The HC-HD300 weighs 4.5 kg including FA-300 fibre adapter and measures 139 x 270 x 337 mm (width x depth x height). Operating voltage range is 11 to 16 volts and power consumption (excluding FA-300) is 19 watts. The camera is designed for use within an ambient temperature range of -20 to 45 Celsius and 30 per cent to 90 per cent non-condensing operating humidity.
Available options include the newly-developed FA-300 fibre adaptor and BSF-300 base station. The HC-HD300s output cable is fitted with a Neutrik opticalCon Duo connector to provide efficient protection against dust. Up to 250 metres of cable can be connected direct to the camera, extendable to 10 kilometres by using external power.
Supporting features of the HC-HD300 include the focus assist and lens aberration correction functions employed in Ikegamis established UnicamHD range of cameras.
The Ikegami HC-HD300 will be deliverable from December 2014.
