HK-399PW is Ikegami`s latest development in studio camera systems. The HK-399PW is a state-of-the-art SDTV system incorporating 14-bit A/D converter. It is the ultimate SDTV camera, employing the same ASIC as that of a HDTV camera and an AIT chip that achieves a smear level superior to that of an FIT. With its small, lightweight body and low power consumption, the camera provides superb picture quality under a range of environments. The available SE-S500 System Expander allows the HK-399PW to be operated as a studio camera with box type lenses.
