The Hitachi SK-3200 multi-standard broadcast camera series is designed for today's new generation of High Definition Digital Television Program Production and Broadcast Systems.

With the use of high performance 2,200,000-pixel CCDs, our HDTV cameras satisfy the requirements of today's varied digital television formats. New and available with the SK-3200 series is the choice of native progressive or interlaced scanned HDTV CCDs with 720p or 1080i outputs. Standard Definition serial digital interface (SDI) formats as 575i are available as optional outputs.

Hitachi's SK-3200 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.
