2/3" 3 CMOS GLOBAL SHUTTER SENSOR

A 3-CMOS optical system using the latest 2/3-inch CMOS sensor boasts an S/N of 62dB and a sensitivity of F12 (1080/50i) / F11 (1080/59.94i) in HD. The high dynamic range of the sensor produces high-quality images with excellent color reproduction. The CMOS sensor incorporates a global shutter pixel architecture, enabling the camera to capture natural images even under challenging situations. Still frame replay of fast-moving objects is free from geometric distortion. And there are no flash bands when the camera is shooting under strobe lights or flashes from still cameras.

 

NO COLOUR ALIASING

Three-chip optical technology drastically reduces colour aliasing which is always an issue with single-chip cameras.

With the optional Low-Pass-Filter aliasing effects can be reduced even more which is especially helpful when shooting LED walls.

 

OPTICAL VIGNETTING CORRECTION (OVC)

Automatic electronic compensation of F-drop and vignetting. 

* with supported lenses

 

REMOTE BACKFOCUS ADJUSTMENT (RBF)

The Remote Backfocus Adjustment function helps setting accurate backfocus even when the camera
head is located in an environment where it is hard to reach the back focus adjustment on the lens or
difficult to critically see the viewfinder picture.

16-AXIS COLOUR CORRECTOR

Ikegami’s new ASIC AXII delivers full functionality including 16-axis colour correction and focus-assist for 4K and HD video modes. View more details.

16-Axis Colour Correction

 

 

FOCUS ASSIST FUNCTION

The Focus Assist function is a newly incorporated useful tool, providing very distinct enhancement to the viewfinder signal to enable the camera operator to make critical focus adjustment. The size of area, area color, edge color, and display time on the viewfinder are adjustable in the camera menu.


Focus Assist

 

HDR - High Dynamic range

The gamma setting is selectable and can be customized to create a specific tone. The “HLG“ (Hybrid Log Gamma), which conforms the international standard (ITU-R BT.2100), is pre-installed and enables more neutral image quality with high contrast for a wider dynamic range. This allows for more image information to be retained with greater headroom and color grading.

 

COMPACT, LIGHTWEIGHT AND USER FRIENDLY

The compact body, low weight of 5 kg and low center of gravity create the perfect balance together with the adjustable shoulder pad while shooting on the shoulder. Additionally, the viewfinder can be adjusted in three axis. The BSX-100 weighs only 7 kg and fits easily into OB van infrastructure with 3RU height and half-rack width.

 

SE-U430 SYSTEM EXPANDER

Enables the use of a studio viewfinder and large studio lens with digital interface. Newly designed for UNICAM XE series with improved lens swap mechanism.

 

VIEWFINDERS

Two viewfinder models are available for the HDK-X500. The digital interface allows access to the camera menu from the viewfinder (VFL201D, VFL-P700AD). The viewfinders are compatible to the entire UNICAM-XE series.
