Toshiba Imaging Introduces Ultra-Small, 3-Chip CMOS
Remote-Head HD Camera
October 23, 2013 - Irvine, CA - Toshiba Imaging Systems Division (ISD) (Toshiba Imaging - www.toshibacameras.com), a division of Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., and leading manufacturer of ultra-compact high definition (HD) and high resolution CCD and CMOS video cameras, introduces the IK-HD3H, an ultra-small, 2.1 megapixel,1080p 3-chip CMOS HD video camera. The new, feature-rich camera is the first in a series of two CMOS remote-head HD cameras, both interchangeable with Toshiba Imaging's new IK-HD3D controller. With 920 x 1080 digital DVI, 59.94Hz output, the compact IK-HD3H camera delivers up to 1,000 TV lines resolution.
The camera's unprecedented user controls offer an expanded range of adjustments for precise color control, high resolution, increased sensitivity and advanced noise reduction technology. Other features include a binning mode providing a 4X increase in sensitivity without increased noise, image flip and mirror, a gen lock for 3D and multi-camera setups, and selectable output modes between 1080i and 1080p. The RS232 remote control function combines with a convenient C-mount lens mount making the IK-HD3D video camera ideal for sophisticated and diverse imaging applications, such as surgical microscopy, endoscopy, aerospace, and industrial video applications.
The two piece, 2.1 megapixel camera system is easy to integrate into new or existing applications that require 1080p, 59.94 Hz output and superior color imaging with sharp contrast.
Toshiba Imaging's IK-HD3H remote-head camera is optimal for 3D imaging tasks, microscopy, scientific imaging, diagnostics, specialty broadcast, and other applications where exceptional video performance, increased sensitivity, and small package size is required.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
