The Hitachi SK-3020P multi-standard broadcast camera is designed for today's new generation of High Definition Digital Television Program Production and Broadcast Systems with high cost-to-performance.

With the use of high performance 2,200,000-pixel CCDs, our HDTV cameras satisfy the requirements of today's varied digital television formats. Standard Definition serial digital interface (SDI) formats as 480i and 575i are available as optional outputs.

Hitachi's SK-3020P camera series employs low power digital processors (DSP) and 14-bit Analog to Digital converters. These two technologies are the main attributes for high-quality video performance quantified by high resolution and superior signal to noise ratio specifications. This new compact and lightweight portable camera head design weighs merely 4.7Kg including its viewfinder. The CCU height is a compact 2 RU units (88mm) even in halfrack width (215mm). In addition, the power consumption of the camera has been dramatically reduced.

All of the HDTV, SDTV signal circuits and power supply have been densely integrated into 3 plug-in modules inside the new Camera Control Unit, thereby realizing degrees of high reliability and easy maintenance. Hitachi introduces a new member of its advanced HDTV cameras.

The camera head can be operated in stand-alone mode or via Fiber-Optic cable connected to its new compact, harfrack width, Camera Control Unit.
