Toshiba America Information Systems’ Imaging Systems Division introduces the IK-CT2, an ultrasmall, chip-on-tip video camera system.

The 0.7 x 0.7mm back-side illuminated CMOS sensor features, 220 x 220 pixels, and integrated 120 degree field-of-view glass lens which supports a critical OEM component solution for a variety of small diameter, flexible and rigid scope applications. The camera system features the Company’s color processing with its 12-channel color matrix adjustment, freeze frame, five user-programmable settings files, and can be controlled remotely through RS-232. The system includes the CMOS sensor assembly which fits a 1.0 mm diameter tip, 120 degree field-ofview lens with a focal range of 3 mm to 50 mm, 3.5 meter sensor cable, interface board, and camera control unit (CCU). The CCU delivers very high color accuracy and contrast at 59.94 Hz progressive scan using DVI-D and USB 2.0 outputs.
