AIDA Imaging UHD-100A – Micro 4K HDMI POV Camera with Stereo Audio Input

Product Overview

The AIDA Imaging UHD-100A is a micro-body UHD 4K/30 HDMI POV camera with a C/CS interchangeable lens mount and a built-in 3.5mm TRS stereo audio input, designed for AV integrators and broadcast engineers who need 4K acquisition in an extremely compact form factor with audio embedding capability. Measuring just 1.54" × 1.54" × 1.99" and weighing 140g, it fits camera bars, VESA mounts, truss positions, and other tight installation spaces where a standard POV camera body cannot be placed. The 1/2.5" CMOS sensor outputs 3840×2160 at 30fps or 1920×1080 at 60fps over HDMI 1.4, with RS-485 VISCA control for remote configuration.

Product Description

The UHD-100A is the smallest 4K camera in the AIDA Imaging lineup, targeting installations where space is the primary constraint: confidence monitor brackets, tight camera bar positions in houses of worship, scoreboard-adjacent sports positions, and any scenario where a standard POV camera body is still too large. At 1.54" × 1.54" × 1.99", it can be concealed in positions that larger cameras would make obvious.

The 3.5mm TRS stereo audio input accepts both mic and line-level audio, embedding the stereo signal into the HDMI output and eliminating the need for a separate audio embedder in simple single-source deployments. The C/CS mount is compatible with the full AIDA Imaging lens lineup, including the included 3.2mm lens. The HDMI 1.4 output carries 4K 2160p at up to 30fps and drops to 1080p60 when connected to a Full HD downstream device. 4:2:2 YCbCr 10-bit color space is maintained across all resolutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 3.5mm TRS input accept both microphone and line-level signals?

Yes. The TRS input accepts both mic-level and line-level stereo audio, embedded into the HDMI output stream.

Can the camera output 4K and 1080p simultaneously?

No. The UHD-100A has a single HDMI 1.4 output. It outputs at one resolution at a time — either 4K/30 or 1080p/60.

How is the camera controlled from a Crestron or AMX system?

Via RS-485 serial VISCA over the I/O cable. The control system must have an RS-485 serial port and be programmed with the AIDA Imaging VISCA command set.

Is this camera suitable for permanent installation in a boardroom ceiling position?

Yes. The compact body (1.54" × 1.54" × 1.99"), light weight, and 12VDC power make it well suited for permanent ceiling or overhead mount positions.

What lens options are compatible with the C/CS mount?

The included 3.2mm lens provides a wide field of view. Wider or narrower options from the AIDA Imaging CS 4K series are available. Verify lens compatibility with Creation Networks before ordering.
