Toshiba IK-HD1 is World's Smallest HD Camcorder

Post by **froggyboy604** » Sun Apr 06, 2008 7:42 am

With vital measurements of 1-6-inches cubed and 2.3-ounces in weight, Toshiba's IK-HD1 waltzes in to easily steal the "Smallest HDTV Camera, Ever" title. Packed to the miniature eyeballs with three CCD chips, the 1K-HD1 can capture video at broadcast-quality at 1080i, but it won't be making its way to your camcorder anytime soon. The tiny marvel is actually intended for professional broadcasting, and needs to be hooked up to a rather sizable control unit, which can be placed up to 90-feet away. It appears Mr Professional Broadcasting wins again. Dammit. [DVice]

Cool, but I think it get loss or crushed too easily. It be cool if it was built into a cell phone or other type of small mobile device.

I wonder how much power it uses and how it gets its power since I thought recording in HD uses more bandwidth and processing power then lowdepth.
