Hitachi recently announced the DK-H200 multi-format, compact, HDTV box camera.
Hitachi’s first box camera to feature native, full frame rate 1080p acquisition, the
new DK-H200 provides the same performance and functionality of the company’s
SK-series studio and field cameras, all in a form factor ideal for point-of-view and
remote observation applications. The DK-H200 will be introduced at the upcoming
2016 NAB Show, taking place from 16 to 21 April in Las Vegas.
The DK-H200’s new 2.6 million pixel, 2/3-inch, progressive MOS sensors deliver
sharp, clear images. These advanced sensors combine with Hitachi’s digital signal
processing technology and the camera’s natively progressive signal flow to provide
greater picture quality with low noise, faithful colour reproduction and high dynamic
range. The camera’s 60dB signal-to-noise ratio enables clear images with minimal
noise even at high gain, and is complemented by outstanding standard sensitivity of
F12 at 59.94Hz and F13 at 50Hz.
The flexible, multi-format DK-H200 offers selectable 1080p, 1080i and 720p outputs
at 60Hz, 59.94Hz or 50Hz. The camera’s ability to simultaneously deliver a different
format on each of the camera’s dual, 3Gbps-capable HD-SDI outputs eliminates the
need for external converters in mixed-format applications, saving both cost and
equipment footprint. Optional single-mode fibre interconnectivity is also available,
enabling video transmission from the camera over long distances.
Delivering 1080p video acquisition at a price point previously expected only of
interlaced cameras, the DK-H200 makes top-calibre, progressive capture affordable
and accessible to more markets and for more applications than ever before.
