The HDX video output helps balance systems with multiple cameras, allowing for seamless video switching. The HDX is can be used in multi-camera configurations with the HD29, HD19, and HD30, and HDZ cameras.
High Performance
The HDX features a 2.1 megapixel Panasonic CMOS sensor and powerful DSP with many enhancement options, including; Wide Dynamic Range, 2D and 3D digital noise reduction, and an advanced automatic gain control algorythm, shooting great video out-of-the-box in nearly any lighting situation. Video is output via the SMPTE 424M 3G-SDI or 292M HD-SDI standards.
Rugged & Waterproof
Housed in a machined aluminum enclosure the HDX is IP67 rated for submersion up to 1 meter, making it tough enough to handle any weather condition. The HDX is an ideal low maintenance solution for mounting insider or outside the cockpit.
