Tiny Remote-Head Cameras Suitable for TV and Film

Toshiba Imaging Systems Division has introduced its latest 3CCD prism block colour technology and affordable CMOS high-definition cameras, the IK-HD1and the IK-HR1H, for broadcast applications. Toshiba Imaging will be showing this technology at the Polecam Booth C8013 during the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) trade show in Las Vegas, NV, 11-14 April 2011. The company claims the IK-HD1 is the smallest, 3CCD remote-head camera available.

Its head measures 1.6in and weighs 2.3oz, yet delivers clear, true-colour imagery available with a 1920 x 1080 output at 30 frames per second. Toshiba has designed the IK-HR1H as an affordable CMOS high-definition camera with an ultra-small, remote head (1.18in x 1.37in x 1.41in) housing. For added flexibility, two versions of this small and lightweight HD camera are available for applications where space is limited. One version, the IK-HR1CD, offers 8-bit (RGB) DVI-I connector and DVI-I with selectable outputs of1080p at 60 fps, 1080i at 30fps, and 720p at 60fps.

The second small remote-head CMOS model, the IK-HR1CS, features HD-SDI output with 1080i at 30fps and 720p at 60fps. Remote-head, high-definition cameras from Toshiba Imaging are being used in camera-car rigs to chase storms for Discovery Channels' Storm Chasers series, to capture feature-film background plates for process playback, to capture 3D imagery, and in many other film, TV, sports, documentary, drama and internet productions.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa...

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin...

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
