Adam WiltAdam Wilt has been working off and on in film and video for the past thirty years, while paying the bills writing software for animation, automation, broadcast graphics, and real-time control for companies including Abekas, Pinnacle, Omneon, CBS, and ABC. Since 1997 his website, adamwilt.com, has been a popular reference for information on the DV formats. He has reviewed cameras for DV Magazine and written its "Technical Difficulties" column, and taught classes and led panels at NAB, IBC, and DV Expo. He co-authored the book,"Optimizing Your Final Cut Pro System", part of the Apple Pro Training series; he hopes you'll buy a copy, as there's still a large advance to be paid off.

Tuesday, May 08, 2012NAB 2012: Assorted SnapshotsA few cool things I saw at the show that didn’t fit into any other articles.
NAB is too big a show in too short a time to see more than a fraction of it. I’ve covered a few things in some depth (as have other PVC folks), but there’s plenty more that slips by without proper coverage. Here, I have a few photos of interesting things that I saw in passing, with pointers for more info should anything catch your fancy. more »3D • Cameras • GentryMedia Sister Sites • ProVideo Coalition • Hardware • Lighting • NAB2012 • Post Production • Stereoscopic • (0) Comments • • Permalink Monday, May 07, 2012NAB 2012: REDRED’s Ted Schilowitz discusses 2012’s products, and a photo gallery.
RED’s “Leader of the Rebellion” Ted Schilowitz held a press conference at NAB on Monday, describing the projects and products RED is working on. Rather than paraphrase him, I’ve got him on card (well, it’s not “on tape” and it’s not “on film”; what are we supposed to say these days?) so he can tell you himself. I also have a collection of images shot around the RED booth, for your viewing pleasure. more »*VIDEO* • Cameras • GentryMedia Sister Sites • ProVideo Coalition • Hardware • NAB2012 • (0) Comments • • Permalink Saturday, May 05, 2012NAB 2012: Camera SupportA few of the interesting bits ‘n’ bobs that make cameras usable.
At NAB I found support vendors at the affordable end of the spectrum I hadn’t seen before, comfy Aaton-style handgrips, F65 tweaks by Carlos Acosta, and a “drive-by demo” of a handy zoom/focusing lever. more »Cameras • GentryMedia Sister Sites • ProVideo Coalition • Hardware • NAB2012 • (0) Comments • • Permalink Friday, May 04, 2012NAB 2012: Unmanned Aerial VehiclesQuadcopters, hexacopters, and octocopters, oh my!
In the first two days of NAB, I saw five different folks walking through the halls carrying multi-rotor camera copters. In previous years? None. UAVs of all sort were all over the show; here are pix of a few of them. more »GentryMedia Sister Sites • ProVideo Coalition • Hardware • NAB2012 • (1) Comments • Most recent comments by: Ivan Oliveira, • Permalink Friday, May 04, 2012NAB 2012: Recorders2012 marks the return to the rack, only without the tape decks…
In the past few years the industry has been moving away from rack-mounted tape decks in favor of small, on-camera or near-camera, portable recorders using CF cards, SSDs, and hard disks. At NAB 2012, we saw a partial reversal of that trend: the recorders are moving back into the racks. more »Cameras • GentryMedia Sister Sites • ProVideo Coalition • Hardware • NAB2012 • (0) Comments • • Permalink Thursday, May 03, 2012NAB 2012: New EVFsTwo new viewfinders to compete with Zacuto and Cineroid, plus a bizarre prototype from Band Pro.
Just when you thought you need only decide between Zacuto and Cineroid for add-on EVFs, NAB gave us two new choices. Also, Band Pro showed their own high-end EVF, and it’s a weird one. more »Cameras • GentryMedia Sister Sites • ProVideo Coalition • Hardware • NAB2012 • (0) Comments • • Permalink Wednesday, May 02, 2012NAB 2012: Cameras & LensesA brief sampling of interesting photographic tools at NAB.
I’ve already covered the basics of what Sony and Panasonic announced, as well as looking at Canon’s C500 and the BMD Cine Camera, but JVC also had interesting camera announcements worth looking at. And of course that’s not all there was to see… more »Cameras • GentryMedia Sister Sites • ProVideo Coalition • Hardware • NAB2012 • (0) Comments • • Permalink Tuesday, May 01, 2012NAB 2012: Canon C300 Image ProcessingCanon’s Larry Thorpe on the C300’s quad-HD sensor and “super green” sampling
Canon held a press dinner Monday night at NAB, where Larry Thorpe held forth on the Canon C300’s use of a quad-HD sensor (2x HD resolution in both H and V dimensions) and how Canon’s “super green” sampling boosts MTF and suppresses aliasing in the camera’s 1080p images. more »Cameras • GentryMedia Sister Sites • ProVideo Coalition • Hardware • NAB2012 • (2) Comments • Most recent comments by: stevecrye, Charles Angus, • Permalink |
