Allan Tépper
Allan Tépper has been working with professional video since the early eighties, since he first learned to edit video using the open-reel 1/2” EIAJ-1 format with a Sony VO-3650 editing deck in his high school in Connecticut. Since 1994, Tépper has been consulting both end-users and manufacturers via his Florida company. Via TecnoTur, Tépper has been giving video technology seminars in several South Florida’s universities and training centers, and in a half dozen Latin American countries, in their native language. Tépper has been a frequent radio/TV guest on several South Florida Latino stations, and on a couple of Venezuelan stations too. As a certified ATA (American Translators Association) translator, Tépper has also translated and localized dozens of advertisements, catalogs, software, and technical manuals for the Spanish and Latin American markets. Tépper’s most recent translation was the user interface for a Hong Kong company which makes a calling card application (BerryDialer) for Blackberry users.
Over the past 17 years, Tépper’s articles have been published in more than a dozen magazines, newspapers, and electronic media in Latin America, mainly in Producción & Distribución and TTV. In 1998 Tépper founded SOPRÉPROC, the Sociedad para la preservación y progreso del castellano or Society for the Preservation and Evolution of the Castilian language (the world’s most widely used Spanish language). From 2000-2002, Tépper was also the editor of TTV, of the Izarra Group. From the end of 2006 until September 2007, Tépper was the co-director of the South Florida Final Cut Pro User Group. Currently, Tépper is writing for ProVideo Coalition and editing more episodes of his TecnoTur audio podcast, which includes international telephone interviews of industry professionals in Spain and Latin America.

With NXCAM, Sony is taking AVCHD to a truly professional level
For the past few days, I’ve been evaluating a prototype of Sony’s first NXCAM camera family member. This first NXCAM model has a striking resemblance to a Sony Z5, which is an HDV tape-based camcorder with optional chip recording. Unlike the Z5 chip recording (which limits its HD recording with the exact same specs as the ones that the camera offers on HDV tape), this first NXCAM goes way beyond that, with much more flexibility in recording options, as you will learn in this article. You will see how this NXCAM model offers recording on two different types of solid state devices, offers selectable geo metadata recording with its built-in GPS, and even full compatibility with 10-bit 4:2:2 external recording with a device like AJA’s KiPro. You’ll also see other firsts in AVCHD camcorders, including timecode i/o and HD-SDI. Keep in mind that this is a first look at a prototype of Sony’s initial NXCAM offering.
