According to Toshiba, the HD IK-HD1 3CCD remote head cameras were designed not only for teaching hospitals and microscopy applications but they are also deigned for reality TV, specialty broadcast, sports, news, commercials and other high-definition video imaging applications due to it's ultracompact control unit (weighing just 2.3 oz) and the 1.6-inch camera head which has been labeled "the world's smallest camera head". It is the above combination of specifications that make the IKHD1 camera ideal for imaging tasks performed in tight spaces.
The system, with 1920 x 1080 resolution at 30 f/s, uses 3CCD prism block technology to deliver true color, bright contrast and extraordinary detail from the small camera head. A C-mount lens flange and RS232C serial interface and multiple outputs for HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M), analog RGB or Y/Pb/Pr are standard.
Accessories include a 4 - or 15-mm lens and camera cables in 3-, 6-, 10- or 30-m lengths.
The IK-HD1 has already been used for filming reality television shows including "American Gladiators" and "Cash Cab"
