- Worlds Smallest 3-Chip Video Camera
October 14, 2014 - Irvine, CA - Toshiba Imaging Systems Division, (www.toshibacameras.com), announces the IK-4K, UltraHD 4K, the worlds smallest 3-chip video camera with an unprecedented 8-megapixel, 3840 x 2160 pixel output. The versatile new camera delivers extraordinary detail with up to 1600 TV lines of resolution and switchable formats, from 4K at 50/59.94 Hz, to 1080p and 1080i. The improved sharpness and fine edge details when compared with 1080p systems is astonishing and has applications anywhere increased resolution is important. Even when operated in 1080p mode the resolution is improved over dedicated 1080p camera systems.
The ultra-compact (1.28" x 1.51" x 1.61") and lightweight (approx. 2.5 oz.) camera head can be easily integrated into new or existing imaging systems for applications such as scientific imaging, defense/military, process and quality control, live tissue imaging, and broadcast. The UltraHD 4K two-piece system design combines Toshibas proprietary prism block technology and advanced image processing capabilities to deliver unprecedented color accuracy and exceptional resolution with 12-channel color adjustment for optimal control. The 4x 3G/HD-SDI output offers maximum signal fidelity. Five user-configurable settings files are available to support various operating modes and ambient conditions.
The new camera incorporates Toshiba Imagings advanced 3-CMOS, 1/2.9-inch sensor technology with an image flip and mirror function, freeze frame, and gen-lock for 3D and multi-camera use. Other features include remote control via RS232 and a C-mount lens mount for added convenience and versatility.

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.
