Ikegami Announces its Broadcast Asia 2026 Innovations

13/05/2026

Ikegami will exhibit the latest additions to its wide range of broadcast production cameras, control units, viewfinders and monitors on stand 5D3-1 at Broadcast Asia 2026. The show will be held at its usual Singapore Expo venue from Wednesday May 20th through Friday 22nd. It coincides with the companys 80th year of innovation in high-grade television production imaging and related technology.

BROADCAST ASIA PREMIERE: Ikegami VFE-P07D monocular OLED viewfinder with tiltable 3.5-inch LCD monitor

The new VFE-P07D is monocular OLED viewfinder augmented by a tiltable ultra-compact 3.5-inch TFT LCD monitor display. The viewfinder attaches easily to shoulder-mounting and studio-format cameras in the UNICAM XE series. Core of the monocular display is a 0.7-inch 16 x 9 aspect ratio OLED with a fast response time, 200 cd/metre-squared brightness and integral magnifying lens. Located just above, the 3.5-inch TFT LCD monitor has 450 cd/metre-squared brightness and 170 degree horizontal/vertical viewing angles. The OLED viewfinder and LCD monitor displays both have 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution and 16.7 million color capability. The monitor screen can face forwards or be adjusted laterally through 180 degrees. Tilt angle is adjustable through more than 120 degrees. Waveform, vectorscope and audio metering tools can accessed easily. Ikegami cameras compatible with the new viewfinder include the UNICAM XE HDK-X500, UHK-X600, portable UHK-X700, plus the UHK-X700RF wireless camera. All incorporate 3-CMOS global-shutter imagers and fully conform to ITU-R BT.2020 standard HDR.

BROADCAST ASIA PREMIERE: Ikegami VFE-P711AD 7-inch OLED viewfinder

The new VFE-P711AD is a 7-inch high resolution OLED model compatible with all UNICAM-XE and UNICAM-HD cameras. Developed from the established VFL-P700AD LCD viewfinder, the OLED version offers precise chroma rendition combined with high brightness and wide contrast ratio, ensuring clear visibility even in environments with intense ambient light. The fast response time of the OLED panel is particularly useful when focusing and framing content in high frame rate mode. An integrated waveform monitor and vectorscope plus audio level metering further enhance the VFE-P711AD's operability in the field. The viewfinder also has front-facing tally indicators plus a rear-facing tally. All accessories that fit the existing VFL-P700AD LCD model are compatible with the new OLED viewfinder. The viewfinder can also be used as a field monitor for an external 3G-SDI feed. Power can be sourced directly from the camera or external 12 volt DC, allowing standalone operation. Energy consumption is approximately 12 watts. Dimensions and weight of the viewfinder are 232 x 150 x 73 mm WHD, 1.1 kg.

ALSO PROMOTING:

Ikegami UNICAM XE-series cameras

No-compromise cameras for the HDR, HFR, IP and UHD era, the UHK-X700 and UHK-X600 incorporate three -inch CMOS 4K sensors with global shutter architecture. An integral AXII video processor enables direct 12G-SDI output from the camera head as well as HFR capture. The UHK-X750 and UHK-X650 are hard-body full studio models sharing the same features.

The HDK-X500 is a multiformat HD portable camera system with a high sensitivity of F11 and 62 dB signal to noise ratio. Features include 3G connectivity and advanced color management.

A SMPTE ST 2110 compliant IPX-100 extension unit in a compact and power-efficient half-rack-width 2U. It supports bidirectional optical transmission and camera-head power delivery via a composite opto-electrical cable. Optional software upgrades include JPEG XS support. The IPX-100 serves as an alternative to the BSX-100 base station which offers baseband and optional IP signal interface.

Compact/POV cameras

The UHL-X40 is designed for PTZ use in studios as well as outdoor applications such as sports close-ups, theatre-stage video capture, weather monitoring and point-of-view imaging. Two-piece construction allows remote control up to six miles between head and CCU using just a duplex fiber cable. The UHL-F4000 variant is designed for use in applications such as aerial video capture across an extremely wide range of night or daytime conditions. Image adjustment capabilities include haze removal and digital zoom.

The UHL-43 is a box-style multi-purpose camera for applications such as parliamentary television, point-of-view image capture, weather coverage, traffic surveillance and public security monitoring. Available as an HD-HDR model, the UHL-43 can be upgraded via a retrospective software update to deliver 4K-UHD. The camera head can be used on practically any support device such as a shoulder brace, long-reach arm or overhead mount.

Ikegami camera control

The OCP-500 is a slimline panel which takes up minimal desk space while still offering complete remote control of all Ikegami UNICAM XE and UNICAM HD camera functions, including full setup adjustment via an LCD touchscreen and associated rotary encoders. Each OCP-500 panel is just 82 mm wide, allowing up to five OCP-500 units to fit into the same desktop footprint as four Ikegami OCP-300 remote camera controllers.

The VMP virtual master control panel control allows up to 100 cameras to be managed from a single Windows PC. Based on Ikegamis established MCP-300, it includes complete camera setup and control, file management and transfer, and camera diagnostics. The VMP can be combined with physical Ikegami OCPs and MCPs via a local network.

XE WebView is a web-based tool designed for the setup, configuration and supervision of its broadcast camera systems, particularly when integrated with IP-based infrastructure such as the IPX-100 IP extension unit.

Ikegami broadcast monitors

Newest addition to the Ikegami 60 series space-saving high-quality multiformat LCD monitors, the HLM-2460WA incorporates a 24-inch panel with a WUXGA resolution
