Bruce A. Johnson

A 1981 graduate of the Boston University College of Communication, Bruce A. Johnson got his first job in broadcast television at WFTV, an ABC affiliate in Orlando, FL. While there, he rose through the ranks from teleprompter operator to videographer, editor, producer and director of many different types of programming. It was in the early 1980's that he bought his first computer - a Timex/Sinclair 1000 - a device he hated so much, he promptly exchanged it for an Atari 400. But the bug had bitten hard.

In 1987, Johnson joined Wisconsin Public Television in Madison as a videographer/editor, and still works there to the present day. His responsibilities have grown, however, and now include research and presentations on the issues surrounding the digital television transition, new consumer technology and the use of public television spectrum in homeland security. He freelances through his company Painted Post MultiMedia, and has written extensively for magazines including DV and Studio Monthly.

Sony EX1 Alternative Recording Media UPDATE!

Now You Can Close The Door!

image

If you have been following the saga of alternative recording media for the Sony EX1 and EX3 XDCam EX cameras, you’ll recall that the main problem with using the Kensington ExpressCard 34 adapter is that when loaded into the EX1, the media door can not close.  (The EX3 has no door problem with the Kensington card.)  Well, the good Aussies at E-Films have grabbed the EX1 bull by the horns, so to speak. They designed a ExpressCard34 adapter that is low-profile enough that it fits comfortably behind the media door on the EX1, so dust and other contamination should not be an issue.  It also has one other big advantage over the Kensington adapter - it’s actually available!  Order it here and save yourself from ridiculously expensive Sony SxS media.  I’m really impressed with the initiative show by the E-Films folks.  Good on ya!

Big thanks to Jim Feeley for the link to the ordering page!
