Xavier University in Cincinnati has chosen Ikegami HDK-99 cameras as part of an upgrade to its athletics live production facilities. The cameras will be deployed for live-to-air program production and in-venue videoboard productions at Cintas Center and other athletics venues. 

"Dockable cameras were the logical choice because they can be operated in studio, stage or outdoor locations," says the Cintas Center's senior associate technical director, Chris Schaaf. "Ikegami's HDK-99 camera systems tick every box in terms of image quality, versatility, ease of control and physical robustness.
