IBC Debut For New Ikegami Products

Ikegami will demonstrate four new products at IBC2016, Stand 12.A31, as it puts 4K at the forefront of its exhibit. The company will also celebrate its 70th anniversary at the show.

Making its IBC debut is the 4K-native 2/3 inch UHK-430 portable broadcast camera, the HQLM-3120W 31 inch 4K UHD LCD monitor, the HDL-F3000 multi-format ultra low light camera, and the MCP-300 Network Master Control Panel.

The Ikegami UHK-430 portable broadcast camera incorporates three newly-developed 4K-native 2/3 inch 8 megapixel CMOS sensors, providing full 3840 x 2160 UHD resolution plus the depth of field required for studio and outdoor production. It has a colour depth of 10 bits per pixel and comes with a B4 bayonet mount compatible with 2/3 inch HD and 4K lenses. The UHK-430 features Ikegami's 5th generation high-speed video processing engine, the AXII. The AXII reduces power consumption and delivers various features, including a built-in 16-axis colour matrix, new focus-assist for 8K, 4K and HD video modes and digital zooming. It also supports the ITU-R BT.2020 extended colour space specification when in 4K mode as well as the BT.709 colour space in both 4K and HD modes. In addition, the AXII provides the processing for Ikegami's newly developed i-Log transfer characteristic which delivers high contrast for a wider dynamic range (HDR).

The HQLM-3120W monitor has been designed for use as a full 4K master reference monitor in television production studios, postproduction suites, master control rooms and playout centres. It employs an LED-illuminated 31.1 inch pixel LCD panel with full 4096 x 2160 resolution and 10-bit processing depth. A wide viewing angle allows critical content evaluation within horizontal or vertical viewing angles of up to 178 degrees.

The new HDL-F3000 multi-format ultra-low-light camera is capable of operating at illumination levels down to starlight, and produces high quality colour video under an extremely wide range of night or daytime conditions. Image adjustment capabilities include haze removal, backlight correction and digital zoom.

The MCP-300 can be used with Ikegami's conventional ICCP control and Arcnet based control, but also under Ethernet based control. It allows simultaneous master control of up to 10 cameras. Up to 100 source cameras can be selected (10 cameras x 10 groups). The MCP-300 also supports Powering over Ethernet, so a separate power supply is not necessary.
