Iconix Video announced its new HD-RH1 digital I/O package and remote control system. Iconix Video will showcase this latest technology innovation at NAB 2007, April 16-19, from Booth SU11415 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The HD-RH1 POV camera system, which includes a separate camera head and processing controller unit, is the smallest high performance HD camera in the industry. The lightweight HD-RH1 remote camera system is comprised of a 1.32" x 1.50" x 1.92" POV camera head weighing 2.5 oz.; a 3.5 lb. universal HDTV controller unit measuring 8.4" x 1.8" x 12"; and a power supply, and can be ordered with 3, 6 and 10 meter cables.
Shipping of the HD-RH1 began in December 2006, and over 200 cameras have been sold since then
. The HD-RH1 has already been deployed in a number of productions, including Steven Soderbergh's "Ocean's Thirteen" and National Geographic Television's "Planet Carnivore."
As a factory-installed option to the already-versatile HD-RH1, Iconix is adding a new digital I/O package that will include the ability for fiber optic output directly out of the camera, and provide direct camera genlocking via an SDI or fiber optic serial digital source. The new I/O package will be demonstrated at NAB2007, and will be available for purchase with the HD-RH1 in June 2007.
The CCU will be outfitted with a receptacle that accepts industry-standard fiber optic SFP (Small Form Pluggable) modules. Iconix provides a twin-Tx module with the option package, which can be configured for either a twin single-link output, or a dual-link 4:4:4 output. These modules can also be swapped out for a single Tx, single Rx, or Tx/Rx transceivers, as well as other third party SFP modules.
