One of the Ikegami cameras set to be on display is the UHK-430 4K camera from its Unicam XE camera series. It is designed for use in the studio and field, and features three 2/3-inch 4K CMOS sensors with RGB prism optics for “Real 4K” resolution from 24 million pixels. The camera is equipped with the latest AXII ASC for low power and digital signal processing features.

The UHK-430 employs 40G transmission using standard SMPTE hybrid fiber/copper camera cable, uncompressed 4:4:4 resolution RGB transmission, with eight HD channels from CCU to camera, and one HD trunk channel from camera to CCU. A Gigabit Ethernet connection is available on the camera for external use.
