The new UHL-X40 is a particularly compact studio-quality 4K-UHD HDR camera. Based on Ikegami’s UHL-F4000 for aerial applications, the UHL-X40 head measures just 120x128x112mm, weighs 1.1kg and has very low power consumption, at 28W, 12V DC.
The UHL-X40 has three high-quality ⅔-inch CMOS UHD sensors with a global shutter to minimise motion artefacts. It includes vertical image inversion for use when the camera is mounted upside down.
Its control unit is also compact (145x145x173mm) and lightweight. Commands such as pan/tilt/zoom control or teleprompter feeds can be sent from the CCU via Gigabit Ethernet. It can also deliver simultaneous downconversion of the full 3840x2160 UHD frame plus a 1920x1080 native cutout of the central area.
Gisbert Hochguertel, Ikegami Europe Product Specialist, said: “The UHL-X40 offers many advantages in terms of operational efficiency and versatility. It is similar in image quality and features to our latest generation Unicam XE studio camera series, allowing easy intercuts between these models. The UHL-X40 connects to its CCU-X40 control unit via up to 10km of duplex single-mode fibre carrying the 4K/UHD camera signal plus the Gigabit-Ethernet Trunk Line. This makes it ideal for applications such as robotic studio operation, remote broadcasting of sports and stage events, and point-of-view video capture.”
