Michael Lätzsch, Broadcast & Professional Video Division Manager, and David Lieven, Sales Engineer, will be representing Ikegami at the show.
Ikegami will showcase the latest additions to its range of broadcast production camera systems and monitors, including the UHK-X700 4K camera and BSX-100 base station, at Hamburg Open 2022.
The event will take place from January 19-20, 2022, at Congress Center Hamburg.
Ikegami also will highlight the UHL-43 compact 4K camera, HQLM-3125 master grade 4K monitor and HLM series HD monitors.
Ikegami representatives at the show will include Ikegami Electronics (Europe) Broadcast & Professional Video Division Manager Michael Lätzsch and sales engineer David Lieven.
Michael Lätzsch said: “Interest in 4K production is accelerating, both for the on-demand video streaming sector and among forward-looking broadcasters. HDR is also gaining ground given the rapidly increasing user base of HDR-compatible TV displays. The UHK-X700 is designed for a very wide range of studio or location applications and couples with the BSX-100 to form a highly versatile system. Our UHL-43 is a compact 4K camera for applications such as remotely controlled or self-op studios and remote coverage of live events.”
As a new member of Ikegami’s UNICAM XE 4K system camera series, the UHK-X700 incorporates three 2/3-inch CMOS 4K sensors with global shutters to eliminate rolling shutter distortion and flash-banding artifacts. The camera delivers high signal quality, versatile connectivity and a robust build. Offering full HDR and SDR support, the camera can be set to BT.2020 and BR.709 colour spaces. It supports up to 2x speed in 4K and 8x speed in HD via the base station.
The BSX-100 is a 12G/3G fibre base station offering a coherent upgrade path for broadcasters and production companies as they progress from SDI to IP, from standard dynamic range to high dynamic range and from high definition into HD/4K dual-format workflow. Designed as a multi-platform camera control unit, the BSX-100 is available for Ikegami HD and 4K camera systems, offering 12G and 3G HD-SDI connectivity. SMPTE ST.2110 media-over-IP interfacing is available as an option for use across 10GbE and 25GbE networks. An optional 4K output software key allows the use of HD cameras in a variety of configurations which include simultaneous production in HD and 4K resolutions.
The Ikegami BSX-100 provides full support for HLG in conformance with ITU-R BT.2100, which is the international standard for HDR. The base station includes HDR to SDR conversion and can be operated in any desired combination of HD or 4K resolution and SDR or HDR simultaneously. Housed in a 3U high half-rack-width low-mass unit, the BSX-100 is easily integrated into mobile production vehicles and other locations where space is limited.
The Ikegami UHL-43 is a compact HDR camera designed for applications such as robotic studios, outside broadcasting of live events, parliamentary television, point-of-view image capture, weather coverage, traffic surveillance and public security monitoring. Using three 2/3-inch 4K 8.3-megapixel (3,840 x 2,160 pixel) CMOS sensors, the camera offers UHD capture resolution and delivers high-quality colour reproduction. HLG mode is included, conforming to ITU-R BT.2100. The UHL-43 is available as an HD-HDR model which can be upgraded via a retrospective software update to deliver 4K-UHD. Output options supporting 12G-SDI or 4 x 3G-SDI over coaxial cable or 12G-SDI over optical fibre are available.
The HQLM-3125X is a 31-inch 4K-UHD master-grade monitor with a 4,096 x 2,160-pixel 10-bit resolution and high brightness. Designed for critical image evaluation in broadcast production control environments, it has a double-LCD-layer panel delivering a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio with true black reproduction. A layer of light-modulating cells allows pixel-by-pixel control of backlight intensity, reducing light leakage and black floating.
Ikegami will also promote an HDR option for its HLM-60 family of 1920 x 1080 pixel high-definition broadcast quality monitors. The option includes electro-optical transfer function tables for HLG, S-Log and S-Log3 in addition to conventional gamma. It can be added as a retrospective upgrade to all monitors in the HLM-60 series which currently comprises models HLM-2460W, HLM-1760WR and HLM-960WR.
