White Paper 034 Addendum 43: Tests and Settings on a Toshiba IK-HD1H mini-camera

Alan Roberts

Abstract

Data for this section is taken from the handbook and a very brief examination of a Toshiba IK-HD1H minicamera as part of a group test of HDTV mini-cameras. The camera is connected via multi-core cable to a separate controller. There are no controls on the camera.

The HD1H is small (32.6x38.6x41mm) and weighs only 65 grammes, but the controller is relatively large and weighs about 1.5kg. The specification claims that it has 3 CCD sensors (⅓”) but gives no indication of the pixel count. It has a C lens mount, standard amongst mini-cameras. Sensitivity is claimed to be F/6.8 at 2000lux, which is typical of 1920x1080 cameras with ⅓” sensors. It has both analogue and digital outputs (HDSDI). There are menus, allowing some rudimentary image control.

Power consumption is 10.3 watts at 12V DC.

There are no controls on the camera itself. Unfortunately, the camera shows significant response to infra-red illumination.
