Mass Communications students at Norfolk, VA.-based Norfolk State University are getting hands-on HD prolongation practice with 3 new Hitachi SK-HD1000 digital high-definition cameras in its upgraded radio studio.

Bowser Industrial Education Building, features an adjoining manage room with a Ross Video Synergy 2-M/E prolongation switcher and a Harris Inscriber CG. While it still operates in SD (4:3/16:9) mode, the Hitachi cameras have laid the substructure for its contingent passing from one to another to 1080i HD production.

The 3 Hitachi SK-HD1000 cameras, systematic by York Telecom (a NJ-based systems integrator and apparatus play with an office in Richmond, V.), are mounted on lightweight Vinten pedestals. The cameras are moreover given with a few Hitachi accessories, inclusive 5in VF-HD500 black/white viewfinders, CU-HD1000 camera manage units, RU-1200JY remote manage units and essential element camera adapters. The teleprompters moreover block right away in to the camera, giving students one reduction line to fret about and a sufficient neater camera setup.
