The Ikegami HDK-790D/79D is also multi-standard, ready to meet the format requirements of HDTV in 720p and 1080i, as well as SDTV in 480i/480p. These cameras are extremely versatile, Jonas says. "Whatever our customers needs are, with the Ikegami HDK790D/79D we can provide that picture output."
SEATTLE: Jonas Jensen Studios, a leading Northwest broadcast and film production facility, has specified Ikegami HDK-790D/79D full digital HDTV cameras for the world's first 720p mobile production unit. The Progressive HD Productions truck is managed, operated, and maintained by Jonas Jensen for Clear Channel Television. It has already seen use for coverage of 2003 Super Bowl, Major League Baseball, as well as concerts by *NSYNC, Heart and Peter Gabriel, among other high-profile events.
By outfitting Progressive HD with five Ikegami HDK-790D hard cameras and seven HDK-79D ENG/EFP cameras, Jonas Jensen has equipped the groundbreaking truck to live up to the full promise of the 720 progressive scan format. "With its 60 fps rate, 720p develops the smoothest, purest and cleanest pictures in HD," says Scott Jonas, co-founder of Jonas Jensen Studios. "The Ikegami HDK-790D/79D, with the high quality Ikegami color look, dependability and customer service was the only serious choice for this truck."
