Camera Overview — Ikegami HDK-95C

The Ikegami HDK-95C Studio Camera is a professional broadcast-grade camera system built for demanding live production and studio environments. At its core is a 2/3-inch sensor delivering 2.5 MP resolution, outputting at up to 1920 x 1080 — the standard for high-definition broadcast. The camera's image processing pipeline is handled by a custom FPGA DSP built on a 45nm architecture, supporting custom gamma curves alongside standard color profiles for precise image control in broadcast workflows.

Video output covers a comprehensive range of HD formats, including 1080i at 59.94 and 50, 720p at 59.94 and 50, and 1080p in 29.97psf, 25psf, and 23.98psf — making it adaptable to a wide variety of regional broadcast standards and production requirements. The maximum frame rate reaches 59.94fps, with internal processing depth of up to 46-bit, which speaks to the system's capability for high-fidelity image rendering. The camera operates with a Bayonet lens mount and supports an external viewfinder up to 9 inches via a system expander, with VF DTL and Focus Assist features to assist operators during live production.

Power comes from an external V-mount or studio power supply, consistent with professional broadcast infrastructure. The body is constructed from professional broadcast-grade metal and composite materials.
