The SK‐HD range offers the choice of native 1080i or 720p CCD options. The SK‐HD1000 camera is complemented by a range of accessories including a full studio adapter that enables the use of both hanger‐type and bayonet‐type lenses without removing the camera from the adapter, an easy-to-use camera control unit, and a digital triax system.
