Toshiba Imaging Introduces Ultra-Small, 3-Chip CMOS Remote-Head HD Camera

Irvine, CA – Toshiba Imaging Systems Division (ISD) (Toshiba Imaging - toshibacameras.com), a division of Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., and leading manufacturer of ultra-compact high definition (HD) and high resolution CCD and CMOS video cameras, introduces the IK-HD3H, an ultra-small, 2.1 megapixel,1080p 3-chip CMOS HD video camera. The new, feature-rich camera is the first in a series of two CMOS remote-head HD cameras, both interchangeable with Toshiba Imaging’s new IK-HD3D controller. With 1920 x 1080 digital DVI, 59.94Hz output, the compact IK-HD3H camera delivers up to 1,000 TV lines resolution.

The camera’s unprecedented user controls offer an expanded range of adjustments for precise color control, high resolution, increased sensitivity and advanced noise reduction technology. Other features include a binning mode providing a 4X increase in sensitivity without increased noise, image flip and mirror, a gen lock for 3D and multi-camera setups, and selectable output modes between 1080i and 1080p. The RS232 remote control function combines with a convenient C-mount lens mount making the IK-HD3D video camera ideal for sophisticated and diverse imaging applications, such as surgical microscopy, endoscopy, aerospace, and industrial video applications.

The two piece, 2.1 megapixel camera system is easy to integrate into new or existing applications that require 1080p, 59.94 Hz output and superior color imaging with sharp contrast.

Toshiba Imaging’s IK-HD3H remote-head camera is optimal for 3D imaging tasks, microscopy, scientific imaging, diagnostics, specialty broadcast, and other applications where exceptional video performance, increased sensitivity, and small package size is required.
