Toshiba, a leader in advanced 3CCD video imaging, introduces the world's smallest high definition industrial camera head and ultra-compact control unit, the IK-HD1 3CCD HDTV Camera. Small (1.6 in.) and lightweight (only 2.3 oz.), the revolutionary HD color industrial camera system is ideal for applications where size and weight are critical. As of February 2008, the IK-HD1 will welcome it's new control unit, IK-HD1E.

The affordable 3CCD (1/3" chip) interlace HD industrial camera utilizes Toshiba's sophisticated 3CCD prism block imaging technology, delivering true color with sharp detail and bright contrast from the remarkably small camera head. Features include a C-mount lens flange, RS 232C serial interface, and multiple outputs including HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M), analog RGB or Y/Pb/Pr, making it very easy for integration.

Toshiba's new, HD camera delivers 30 frames per second for:

  • Reality TV
  • Specialty broadcast
  • Scientific imaging and diagnostics
  • Homeland security
  • Industrial video inspection applications.

Other features include 1920 (H) x 1080 (V) resolution, power requirements of 12 V DC and power consumption of only 10.3W, making this new IK-HD1 camera system an ideal solution for a variety of imaging needs. Accessories for the industrial camera system include a 4mm or 15mm lens and camera cables in 3, 6, 10 or 30-meter lengths. Toshiba's new, lightweight HD industrial camera head is easy to mount on a performer, a helmet or hat, or in a confined space or tight corner. It can also be integrated into a larger system for imaging applications that require the flexibility of a very small HDTV industrial camera package.
