LYON VIDEO INCREASES MOBILITY WITH IKEGAMI HK-388W CAMERAS

Ten New Ikegami Cameras On Board All-Digital Mobile Unit 5

COLUMBUS, OH: Lyon Video, a leading provider of production and post-production services for film and video, has chosen the Ikegami HK-388W full-digital camera for its new Mobile Unit 5 (MU5). With ten of the new Ikegami cameras on board, MU5 will enable Lyon Video to meet increased demand for its services nationwide.

Ikegami's unmatched combination of high resolution, flexibility, features, value and dependability made the advanced HK-388W Lyon Video's first choice. "It all starts with picture quality," says Bob Lyon, President of Lyon Video. "That's the front of your broadcast chain, and the outstanding picture quality of the Ikegami HK-388W, from production to the viewers-TV set, is where we prefer to start."

The Ikegami HK-388W uses newly developed 640,000 pixel 2/3-inch FIT CCDS to help deliver high resolution and extremely accurate color fidelity. Instant switchability between 4:3 and 16:9 ensures that Lyon Video will be able to meet any situation for its sports and entertainment clients, which include Fox Sports, ESPN, ABC and other networks. Additionally, the Ikegami HK-388W uses a 10MHz ultra-wideband component triax system, capable of delivering high resolution pictures even at long cable lengths.

Since opening their first studio nearly two decades ago, Lyon Video now has over 40 Ikegami broadcast cameras on hand, and know they can depend on the company for reliable performance and support. "From our early experiences with analog Ikegami cameras, through to our new digital HK-388W's, the Ikegami systems have been very stable," Lyon reports. "The sales and technical support over 18 years has been fantastic. Whether it's on the phone or in the field, Ikegami has been there when we needed them."

As Lyon Video prepares to roll out the fully loaded, 53 foot "Expando" MU5 with ten Ikegami HK-388W cameras, they can be confident of building on their own reputation for quality. "There's an increased demand for all the best," Bob Lyon says. "We feel that we have the best people, and the best cameras in Ikegami."
