    Hitachi Kokusai to Showcase 4K Live Production Camera Innovations at InfoComm 2022

    Hitachi Kokusai Electric America will showcase its new SK-UHD7000 4K Ultra HD live production camera system for the first time at InfoComm 2022. The new camera system will be demonstrated alongside other Hitachi camera innovations during the tradeshow.

    The SK-UHD7000 incorporates ⅔” CMOS image sensors with 4K resolution, building on the company’s tradition of delivering exceptional visual quality for live production settings.  The sensors’ global shutter technology minimizes unwanted artifacts such as flickering and banding that could otherwise occur when capturing video in event venues.

    The SK-UHD7000 also delivers extraordinary sensitivity and quality for Ultra HD production. The camera’s new prism design enables superior color reproduction, while its dual 4K and HDTV workflow enables seamless multi-format productions and supports separate controls for High Dynamic Range (HDR) and standard dynamic range (SDR). The SK-UHD7000 combines its exceptional performance and extensive feature set with a price point that makes native 4K live production accessible to more customers.

    “The adoption of 4K production workflows is no longer limited to just broadcast and major sporting events,” said John J. Humphrey, Vice President of Business Development at Hitachi Kokusai. “The SK-UHD7000 is ideal for broadcast and sports, but also makes premium 4K acquisition capabilities cost-effective for everyone from live event production companies to houses of worship. The camera was extremely well-received by broadcasters and production professionals when we unveiled it at the NAB Show, and we’re excited to showcase it for AV integrators and content producers at InfoComm.”

    Established products on display in the Hitachi Kokusai booth at InfoComm will include the DK-H200 1080p compact box camera. The DK-H200’s 2.6 million pixels, 2/3-inch MOS sensors deliver sharp, clear images and combine with advanced digital signal processing and HDR support to provide superior picture quality with low noise, faithful color fidelity, and exceptional sensitivity.

    Magewell Unveils Flexible, Multi-Format IP Audio Converter and Capture Device

    Magewell is expanding its media processing and IP workflow expertise into the audio domain with the introduction of its Pro Convert AE567 multi-format IP audio encoder, decoder, and capture device. The device can flexibly convert between different IP media technologies while also offering a seamless bridge between analog audio, software, and IP networks. Magewell will showcase the new product at InfoComm 2022 in Las Vegas.

    Able to send and receive multiple, eight-channel unicast or multicast AES67 streams, Pro Convert AES67 offers seamless interoperability with third-party AES67 audio solutions and also supports the SMPTE 2110-30 specification for delivery of  PCM digital audio over IP networks.

    “Audio-over-IP has become the norm for professional audio infrastructure, but there is a vast ecosystem of analog audio peripherals that customers want to continue using,” said Will Chen, Product Manager at Magewell. “Pro Convert AES67 provides a bridge between analog audio devices, IP audio networks, and software-based solutions while enabling easy conversion between disparate IP media technologies.”

    Pro Convert AES67 can convert IP-based audio between AES67, NDI®, and SRT, enabling mixed-technology local and remote production workflows that combine third-party products supporting different standards and formats. The device can also encode analog audio into AES67, NDI®, or SRT streams as an ‘on-ramp’ to IP networks, as well as decode IP audio streams in any of these formats and protocols for analog output. 

    Pro Convert AES67 can also serve as a plug-and-play audio capture device when connected via USB to a laptop or desktop computer. For audio streaming applications such as internet radio, the device also offers AAC stream encoding and transmission plus AAC and MP3 stream receiving and decoding with Icecast support.

    Pro Convert AES67 is expected to begin shipping later in Q2. For more information, please visit www.magewell.com/products/pro-convert-aes67.
