Proof that what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas. Featuring (deep breath) Autodesk, BB&S, Colorfront, Kelvin, Lawo, LumaFusion, Meike, Miller Tripods, NANLUX, Tilta, and Zero Density.
Price is $299 and it ships in June.
LumaFusion has a new add-on in the shape of the $19.99 Multicam Studio for syncing, switching and editing clips from multiple camera and audio sources - all within the (also $19.99) LumaFusion app. Up to six camera sources and audio tracks can be automatically synced.
“Because Multicam Studio for LumaFusion was specifically designed for the touchscreen experience, it provides an entirely new, innovative, yet clean and simple workflow for multicam editing unlike anything in the industry; it is a true first,” says the company, and it might very well have a point.
It’s another RGBACL light, albeit with the added benefit of a IP54 weather rating and a very pleasing industrial design. Here’s the feature list:
Also very well worth a mention is a world’s first from the company: the $249 Kelvin Play– the world’s first RGBACL panel light which also features powerful magnets so you can stick it almost anywhere. Well, anywhere metallic that is.
Specification:
Off site, Colorfront had an impressive demo of ‘live’ streaming of 8K footage, using just hotel broadband. The set up featured Colorfront Transkoder running in AWS, reading, de-Bayering and processing 8K Sony Venice 2 and Red RAW camera footage directly from AWS S3 cloud object storage, and streaming 8K video to the Colorfront Streaming Player running on a Mac Mini with an HDMI 2.1 video connection used to display the results in HDR on an 8K LG 77-inch OLED TV.
Also new while the company was in Vegas, Colorfront Transkoder got a speedy new Mac Studio platform. And On-Set Dailies and Express Dailies were both updated to support the latest digital camera formats, including ARRI Alexa 35, Red V-Raptor 8K VV, Sony Venice 2 8.6K and Blackmagic Design 12K RAW, plus ACES 1.3, the latest Academy Color Encoding System, including ACES Metadata Files (AMF).
The new CinX 8 and 9 both have a capacity of 40kg/88lbs, both also employing an ARRI compatible side loading camera plate. The CinX 8 is fitted with a 150mm, low profile clawball and the CinX 9 has a flat base, which may be attached to a Mitchell flat base adaptor or a 150mm clawball. Both heads have 16 positions of counterbalance steps and 7+0 position pan and tilt fluid drag system, and are constructed of lightweight, high-strength die-cast alloy and rigid composite polymers.
The three smaller heads employ Miller’s new Versa universal camera plate. Lightweight and compact, the CinX 20 and 23 are fitted with a 75mm clawball while the CinX 25 employs a100mm clawball. All three have 16 positions of counterbalance. CinX 20 has a payload capacity of 0-8kg/17.6lbs and 3+0 pan and tilt (P&T) soft drag positions. CinX 23 boasts of 0 -10kg capacity, and 3+0 heavier P&T positions. The CinX 25 has a capacity of 14kg/30.8lbs and 5+0 P+T positions.
The new Traxis Camera Tracker has been built to enable broadcasters to create immersive virtual graphics without time-consuming setups. The tracker provides fast and accurate lens calibration even when tracking challenging close-ups, fast camera movements and crane rigs. No matter how complex the production is, Zero Density reckons that the Traxis Camera Tracker users will be able to calibrate their virtual studio. And once calibrated, the studio won’t need to be recalibrated before any new production, reducing downtime.
An update to Zero Density’s Traxis Talent Tracker, meanwhile, means that multiple people can now be tracked without wearables. This empowers broadcasters to more easily generate accurate reflections, refractions and virtual shadows in real time for multiple people — perfect for productions with several presenters or guests.
Several options are available: the 1’ 4-Bank comes in 3200°K and 5600°K remote phosphor fixtures. The 2’ 4-Bank is offered in 3200°K and 5600°K remote phosphor and Bi-Color 2700°K-6000°K.
BB&S also says it has sourced the highest grade new blue LEDs which produce at least 10% extra output over other types. The new fixtures emit 1100 lumens a foot versus 1000 lumens a foot. As combined semihard and soft lights, their superior reflectors utilize a semihard reflective surface to project 90-degree directional light pattern. Optional diffusion slides into a side slot, resulting in a soft surface with 140-degree dispersion.
“The mc²36 xp caters to the expectations of sound supervisors who wish to benefit from a consistent user experience in all their production hub’s audio control rooms, OB trucks and venues where space is at a premium,” says the company.
True to its “xp” moniker, the console requires external processing. In combination with the Pooling 8 license, it can share the DSP heft of one A__UHD Core with up to seven other virtual or physical console surfaces for cost-effective premium audio processing.
