Ikegami To Demonstrate Latest Additions To Its Range

Ikegami is to demonstrate the latest additions to its range on booth 708 at NAB Show New York 2025, Javits Center, October 22-23.

These will include the IPX-100 IP extension unit which makes its first NAB New York appearance, the UHL-X40 ultra-compact UHD/HD HDR camera, HDK-X500 HD HDR portable camera system, HLM-2460WA Full-HD 24-inch LCD monitor and enhanced ULE-217-HDR Full HD multiformat 21.5-inch LCD monitor. Representatives at the booth will include Ikegami's New York based team: Alan Keil (senior engineering fellow), Teri Zastrow (director, sales & marketing), Emileo Aleman (senior product manager) and Gordon Tubbs (northern regional sales manager).

NEW: IPX-100 IP extension unit
Making its first NAB New York appearance, the IPX-100 IP extension unit offers an alternative to the conventional base station or CCU for applications where IP interface of video, audio, and intercom are planned from day one. Just 2U high by half 19-inch rack width, the IPX-100 is small and light weight, ideal for use in mobile production vehicles, REMI equipment rooms, and wherever space is at a premium. For throw down applications, it can be ordered with a convenient carry handle. The IPX-100 has the same robust camera head power capacity as the BSX-100, providing power via conventional SMPTE-hybrid fiber camera cable at a distance of up to 2.2 miles depending on camera model and configuration. An integral test signal generator allows IP system configuration before a camera head is connected. An HD-SDI video monitoring output enables direct connection of a monitor to the IPX-100, facilitating initial setup. The IPX-100 supports NMOS IS-04 and IS-05 for operational management of the IP system. Additional Ethernet connections include camera control with TSL V5.0 tally and an Ethernet trunk channel for auxiliary data to and from the camera. Three versions of the IPX-100 are available: IPX-100H for the HDK-X500 and the latest UNICAM HD cameras, IPX-100U for UNICAM-XE 4K/UHD cameras, and IPX-100M for UNICAM-HD as well as UNICAM-XE models.

Ikegami UHL-X40 ultra-compact UHD HDR camera
The UHL-X40 is an ultra-compact box style UHD camera measuring just 4.7 x 5 x 4.4 inches in size and weighing only 2.4 pounds. It is designed for applications requiring an inconspicuous camera with uncompromised UHD performance. The head is powered locally with 12 volts DC (just 28 watts) and connects with the compact CCU-X40 via up to 6.2 miles of duplex single-mode fiber carrying uncompressed RGB raw pixel data. Included with the fiber link is a 1G Ethernet trunk for external data such as pan/tilt/zoom control. The UHL-X40 incorporates three high quality ⅔-inch UHD sensors with a global shutter pixel architecture which captures natural images even when shooting LED screens, clear of geometric distortion during still frame replay. The global shutter imagers also minimize artifacts when televising flash/strobe-illuminated stage environments. The UHL-X40 achieves F10 sensitivity at 2160p59.94, and a signal-to-noise ratio of 62 dB in HD. HDR and BT.2020 color reproduction are available as standard. The CCU-X40 can output two formats simultaneously, such as 2160p UHD and 1080i HD. A supplementary HD monitor output from the CCU includes information such as menu, characters and markers. Focus assist can be enabled on this output, providing viewfinder video to a remotely located robotics operator. The UHL-X40 can be operated from any Ikegami OCP or MCP physical or virtual control panel.

Ikegami HDK-X500 HD HDR portable camera system
The HDK-X500 is a portable system camera designed for use across a wide spectrum of applications including pedestal-mounted studio operation, tripod-based sports coverage and shoulder-mounted location production. Features include three latest-generation ⅔-inch CMOS global shutter sensors plus automatic optical vignetting correction throughout the range of OVC-compatible B4 bayonet mount zoom lenses. Back focus of RBF-compatible lenses can be adjusted from the OCP in the control room even when the camera head is in a remote location. Optimal control of ambient lighting, studio or outdoor, is supported by the same neutral-density and color-compensation dual filter system used in Ikegami's top-end UHK camera series. The camera’s integral digital processor provides 16-axis color correction allowing precise scene matching or to create specific effects. HLG HDR is fully supported, allowing detailed image reproduction across the entire dynamic range from bright highlights through to deep shadows. HDK-X500 performance parameters include 1000 TVL typical center resolution at 5% modulation, 62 dB typical signal to noise ratio and F11 sensitivity (1080i/59.94). The HDK-X500 is also capable of high-frame-rate capture at 1080i 119.88 Hz.

ENHANCED: Ikegami ULE-217-HDR Full HD multiformat 21.5-inch LCD monitor
Ikegami's ULE-217-HDR is a Full-HD HDR/SDR video quality monitor designed for use in studio control rooms, mobile production units and post-production suites. Space efficient and energy efficient, it is equipped with a 21.5-inch 1920 x 1080 pixel LED display, recently upgraded from 500 to 1,000 nits brightness. HLG and HDR10 high dynamic range and all commonly used resolutions from 480p up to UHD and 4096 x 2160p60 4K are supported. Operating features include horizontal and vertical image flip, area selection, full/over/under-scan and an assignable front-panel control button. Connection ports include 3G-SDI in and out, VGA in, HDMI in, audio in and out, and 12 volt DC power input. The ULE-217-HDR is housed in a robust metal cabinet with integral loudspeakers and consumes 24 watts or less.

HLM-2460W 24-inch Full-HD LCD monitor
The HLM-2460W is a 24-inch Full-HD LCD monitor with a 1920×1200 pixel 10-bit resolution LCD panel with 1800:1 contrast ratio, 400 nits brightness, 3.4-inch front-to-back depth, light weight and low power consumption. Multiformat SDI, 3G-SDI, HDMI, Ethernet and VBS inputs are provided as standard. The HLM-2460W achieves real pixel allocation without resizing. Its gradation characteristics also make it ideal for a wide range of broadcast applications, including use in monitor walls.
