Designed for production studios and outside broadcast (OB) service providers seeking high mastering quality to maximise the commercial longevity of their productions, Ikegami Electronics (Europe) has announced the Unicam UHK-X750 4K/Ultra HD (UHD) HDR (High Dynamic Range) studio camera.
Michael Lätzsch, Manager, Ikegami Electronics (Europe) Broadcast & Professional Video Division, said, “The UHK-X750 offers all the advanced capabilities of Ikegami's flagship Unicam UHK-X700 except for those that apply to portable shoulder operation. Distinguishing elements of the UHK-X750 include a lower centre-of-gravity and easier staging compared to a portable camera.
“The new model delivers the optimum weight balance for operation in combination with a large lens and features a greater design emphasis on ease of service and cool operation. The camera's low body height brings the accompanying VFL-701D viewfinder closer to the optical axis of the camera.”
Incorporated into the optical front end of the UHK-X750 are three 2/3-inch CMOS UHD sensors with a global shutter to minimise artifacts when shooting LED screens or scenes illuminated with flash or strobe lighting.
Full HDR/SDR (Standard Dynamic range) support is included plus the ability to choose between BT.2020 and BT.709 colour spaces. Users can also choose high-frame-rate shooting at up to 2x speed in UHD or up to 8x in HD via the base station.
Five neutral density filters (clear through to 1/64) and four chroma filters (3200, 4300, 6300 and cross) are included, as well as provision for an optional optical low-pass-filter to eliminate moiré effects when televising subjects such as LED video walls.
