Aegis Electronic Group, Inc. is pleased to announce a new partnership with world renowned HD camera manufacturer Iconix Video.
Aegis, one of the industrial imaging industry's top master distributors for manufacturers including Sony, Toshiba and Canon is excited about the new relationship with Iconix because of their reputation for high performance, high functionality and small form factor POV (point-of-view) HD cameras for use in broadcast, film, military, security and scientific markets.
The company's first product, the HD-RH1 remote head camera system is the only 3 CCD camera of its size, weight, versatility, and performance that rivals ENG, EFP and HD studio level cameras at a fraction of the cost.
Aegis is pleased to be able to offer this unique and highly sought after HD POV camera system that includes:

The HD-RH1 incorporates an expansive array of features found only on top-of-the-line HD ENG and EFP camera systems while utilizing an innovative signal processing architecture. This POV camera system, which includes a very robust separate camera head (the size of a golf ball) and processing controller unit, is the smallest high performance HD camera in the industry. The lightweight HD-RH1 remote camera system is comprised of a 1.32" x 1.50" x 1.92" POV camera head weighing 2.5 oz.; a 3.5 lb. universal HDTV controller unit measuring 8.4" x 1.8" x 12"; power supply, and 3, 6 and 10 meter cables.
Since its release in early 2007, the Iconix HD-RH1 already has a rich resume including:
"We've placed it behind railroad ties for actors to run and jump over during chase scenes; we've rigged it to a boom pole and manipulated it inside of air ducts and, during one scene showing a spy cam coming up from the bank floor, we were able to place the Iconix behind where the camera was to appear, and shoot it as it came up out of the floor. The Iconix was the larger of the two, but only slightly."
"Veteran award show technical director John B. Field used the Iconix to capture high-definition POV footage during the award show telecasts. For the Grammy Awards ceremony, the Iconix was used to capture reverse over-the-hand shots of the Daft Punk musical duo from inside the cockpit of their trademark pyramid during their performance with rap artist Kanye West.
