A Toshiba Imaging Systems Division product story

Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Aug 28, 2008

Toshiba Imaging Systems Division has introduced the IK-HR1D, an affordable HDTV camera featuring full 1080 progressive scan resolution.

The 1/3in, 2.1 million megapixel CMOS sensor has a frame rate of 60 frames/s, delivering crisp, clear imagery with no motion artifacts.

Toshiba's scan technology makes this camera ideal for applications where the objects or subjects are in motion, for example, specialty broadcast, machine vision or scientific imaging.

Second in the series of Toshiba Imaging's Suite of HD Cameras, this economically priced, ultra-compact (1 3/4in x 1 3/4in x 4.1/16in) one-piece body features DVI-I output (digital and analogue RGB).

For added flexibility, the IK-HR1D camera has an auto-electrical shutter and auto or manual white balance controls.

Toshiba's highly sensitive camera is suited for the most demanding imaging tasks in the research lab, on the set or in the studio, or in the field.

The IK-HR1D accepts C-mount lenses.
