Ikegami will show at NAB the potential of its new 4K HDR UHL-43 compact camera

The UHL-43 employs three 8.3-megapixel 4K 2/3-inch CMOS sensors in the same workflow and remote control structure as Ikegami's Unicam XE series UHK-430 and UHK-435 cameras.

In NAB 2020, in Las Vegas, Ikegami will showcase the new UHL-43, a HDR compact camera Designed for applications such as robotic studios, outdoor broadcasting of live events, parliamentary television, point-of-view imaging, weather coverage, traffic surveillance and public safety monitoring.

The UHL-43 uses three 2/3-inch CMOS sensors and 4K with 8.3 megapixels in the same workflow and remote control structure as Ikegami's Unicam XE series UHK-430 and UHK-435 cameras. Unlike cameras that use a single chip or pixel-shift technology, the integration of three 3840 x 2160 resolution CMOS sensors and prism optics provides true UHD capture resolution, high-quality color reproduction and complete freedom from color aliasing.

With some dimensions of only 145 x 155 x 169 mm wide and a weight of only 2.6 kg, the camera head can be used on virtually any support device, such as a shoulder harness, long reach arm, or ceiling mount.

Combining high sensitivity (F11 at 4K 50p) and a very high signal-to-noise ratio (typically 62 dB), the UHL-43 can work even in low lighting conditions. Fully HDR compatible, it delivers detailed image quality across the full range of brightness levels from deep black to maximum white, while capturing a wide range of colors. HLG mode is included, conforming to the international ITU-R BT.2100 standard for HDR. Custom gamma curves can also be configured and stored within the camera, allowing the implementation of any desired curve.

La UHL-43 está disponible como un modelo HD-HDR que puede actualizarse mediante una actualización de software retrospectiva para ofrecer 4K-UHD. Ikegami ofrece opciones de salida que admiten 12G-SDI o 4 x 3G-SDI por cable coaxial o 12G-SDI por fibra óptica. Una conexión Ethernet RJ45 permite la operación remota de la cámara a través de concentradores de red con baja latencia para su uso en la producción de estudio controlada a distancia.

Control functions are accessible on the camera head or via a selection of Ikegami OCP series remote control panels. The integral Ethernet interface allows easy control from virtually any distance, making the camera ideal for remote monitored outdoor broadcasting.
