AIDA Imaging HD-100A – Full HD HDMI POV Camera with CS Mount and Audio

Product Overview

The AIDA Imaging HD-100A is a full HD HDMI POV camera built for fixed AV installations that require reliable 1080p output, flexible lens mounting, and embedded audio without the cost of an IP streaming platform. Centered on a 1/2.5" CMOS sensor, the HD-100A delivers up to 1080p60 over HDMI 1.3a and includes a 3.5mm TRS stereo audio input for synchronized audio embedding over the HDMI connection. The C/CS mount lens interface accommodates a range of focal lengths from AIDA's lens portfolio, and onboard WDR processing helps maintain usable image quality in mixed-lighting environments common in conference, education, and worship installations.

Product Description

The HD-100A provides the core features an integrator needs for a straightforward HDMI camera feed: a quality 1/2.5" sensor larger than the 1/3" sensors found in many entry-level POV cameras, a 3.5mm TRS stereo audio input that embeds line-level audio into the HDMI output, the C/CS mount lens system for field-of-view flexibility, and OSD-based image control via joystick. The HDMI 1.3a output supports 1080p, 1080i, and 720p format selection for compatibility with the capture cards, production switchers, and recording systems commonly deployed in commercial AV environments. RS485 control is also supported for integration with camera control software and automation systems. WDR processing addresses high-contrast lighting conditions. DC iris port on the rear I/O cable supports compatible varifocal and zoom lenses.
