Ikegami celebrates 80 years at NAB 2026 with improvements for Unicam

From April 19 to 22, visitors to the Las Vegas Convention Center will be able to attend as part of NAB 2026 to the celebration of the 80th anniversary of Ikegami, which will introduce its latest generation of cameras, controllers and monitors, as well as a “key new feature aimed at high-end Unicam XE models.”

Among the products that the brand will present at the NAB 2026 the cameras are located Unicam XE 3 CMOS ⅔ inch with resolution 4K-UHD: the UHL-X40, an ultra-compact camera optimized for robotic applications; the UHK-X700 and its complete studio version UHK-X750, or the UHK-X600 and HDK-X500, which are HD models with upgrade paths to 4K-UHD. The family is complemented by the box type camera UHL-X40, a new concept that combines an ultra-compact camera head and an independent CCU, and with the control panel OCP-500, exhibited as a prototype in 2025 and again in Las Vegas in production. The solution offers full remote control of all camera functions, including adjusting settings via an LCD touchscreen and associated rotary encoders.

On the other hand, to continue supporting the transition to IP for broadcasters, Ikegami will highlight the compact IP base station IPX-100, aimed at SMPTE ST 2110 remote control and studio flows. And each camera Unicam XE or Unicam HD can connect to an IPX-100 over up to 3.2 km of conventional SMPTE hybrid fiber cable.

Among its most notable features are a integrated test signal generator, which allows you to configure the system before connecting cameras or other sources; support for video trunk channel; HD-SDI video monitoring output, which allows a monitor to be directly connected to the IPX-100, and the possibility of remote configuration and monitoring through the web solution CAR WebView de Ikegami.

In addition to the presentation of “a new key feature in an improved version of its high-end Unicam XE models”, Ikegami's showcase at NAB 2026 is completed with the monitors HLM-2460WA y HLM-1860WR, 24-inch and 19-inch IPS LCD solutions, respectively, that offer great contrast ratios and light output.
