Trace the milestones of broadcast equipment technology and you’ll usual-
ly find the name Ikegami. That’s why today, just as it has for the past forty
years, when the marketplace wants superior technology and innovation,
the name they look to is Ikegami.

When Ikegami began U.S. operations
at the end of December 1964 under
the name, Ikegami Electronics
Industries Inc. of New York, its mod-
est means consisted of $2,000 in capi-
tal and a small Manhattan sales office.
Since then, the company has become
a recognized leader in the color televi-
sion camera industry and a major
supplier of any broadcast equipment.

Today, Ikegami is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-quali-
ty professional broadcast equipment. Ikegami offers a broad range of TV
cameras for ENG, EFP, Studio, HDTV, CCTV, and Medical Imaging.
Ikegami products have received various Emmy Awards for Engineering
Excellence. The company’s universal High Definition TV cameras have
been widely accepted by the broadcast industry as it continues the transi-
tion to the High Definition Television Format.

We will also make every possible effort, by listening to our customers’
comments and opinions, to continue manufacturing products, which
meet their needs.
We look forward to your continued support and patronage of Ikegami.
