A Game Changer in the Market
AIDA Imaging has recently begun shipping its highly anticipated 3G-SDI cameras. While AIDA has consistently offered SDI cameras within their range of POV (Point of View) and PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras, they have historically been best known for their NDI® HX camera offerings. The release of this new series marks a significant milestone for the camera manufacturer, broadening the potential applications of their products and paving the way for entry into various new markets.
These cameras are ideal for broadcasting, sporting events, livestreaming, machine vision, indoor venues, medical, surveillance and the AV market including place of worship, video conferencing and education.

Advanced Features and Improved Workflow
All four models in the HD3G-IPC series deliver Full-HD output via 3G-SDI. They come equipped with a 3.5mm audio input, an RS-485 connection for control, and RJ45 ports that provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) and IP control. The inclusion of RJ45 ports simplifies and modernises workflows by allowing the cameras to be output, controlled, and powered through just two cables.
Superior Alternatives to Competitors
For those familiar with Marshall Electronics’ CV228, AIDA’s HD3G-IPC-MINI offers a superior alternative. It boasts similar specifications but includes the added benefits of PoE and IP control, and it comes at a more affordable price.
The HD3G-IPC-100A and HD3G-IPC-IP67 take it a step further, outpacing Marshall’s CV504 and CV504-WP. They not only include the same enhancements seen in the other model but also upgrade the M12 lens to a CS lens. This upgrade allows more light to reach the sensor, resulting in significantly better picture quality.
Expanding Horizons for AIDA Imaging
The introduction of the HD3G-IPC series signifies a crucial advancement for AIDA Imaging. By expanding their product line with these versatile and high-quality cameras, AIDA is poised to make a substantial impact in various new markets. The new series offers improved functionality, simplified workflows, and competitive pricing, making AIDA an attractive option for a wide range of professional applications.
Introducing the HD3G-NDI-200: Bridging SDI and NDI® HX
Parallel to the HD3G-IPC series, AIDA has also released the HD3G-NDI-200, a model that leverages the power of both SDI and NDI® HX. This new camera provides simultaneous Full-HD outputs, allowing users to enhance their established SDI workflows with PoE+, and AIDA’s reliable IP streaming and NDI® HX for program, preview, or control.
AIDA have released their own free to download Windows application that allows AIDA camera control with Visca Over IP, allowing execution of complex commands with simple buttons. The application is compatible with the new POV SDI cameras, the full range of POV NDI cameras as well as AIDA’s PTZ cameras.
Based on the popular HD-NDI-200, this new model replaces the HDMI port with a 3G-SDI port. The HD3G-NDI-200 stands out as one of the smallest form factor dual SDI/IP broadcast-grade cameras in the market, emphasising cost-effectiveness without compromising on quality.
A New Era of Versatility and Innovation
With the launch of the HD3G-IPC series and the HD3G-NDI-200, AIDA Imaging is set to redefine market standards. These new offerings promise enhanced features, superior quality, and streamlined workflows, opening up exciting possibilities for users. As AIDA continues to innovate, their expanded product lineup will undoubtedly strengthen their position as a leader in the industry.
