Media over IP integration is key to Hitachi’s latest offerings, including a new CCU for its SK-UHD7000 camera that includes a MoIP option for ST 2110.

Hirofumi Suzuki, Managing Director, Hitachi Kokusai Electric Europe, said: “We also have a new MoIP-only box that doesn’t do traditional camera control, but cameras can be controlled through the network.”

Suzuki: ‘[MoIP support means] the customer doesn’t have to change the whole studio’

Using an ST 2110 production workflow allows camera signals move directly onto IP networks without compressing signals or affecting picture quality.

“The CCU can also be a receiver for return video to fit an entire legacy studio into the MoIP system (or be used in the other direction), so the customer doesn’t have to change the whole studio,” he added.

The dual-port 25GbE interface can move one 4K or up to four HD uncompressed signals onto ST 2110 IP or cloud networks, with ST 2022-7 hitless merge functionality to provide network path redundancy. It also supports Precision Time Protocol (PTP) to ensure proper synchronisation of video, audio and data.

Hitachi is also showing its recently released DK-H700 4K box camera, which offers advanced digital signal processing and HDR support, using three 2/3in, RGB CMOS native global shutter sensors.
