One of the more important things to consider when doing this kind of work is finding, and aligning, the “pivot point” of each lens to eliminate parallax errors that can occur during panning and tilting. more » Thursday, July 31, 2008 Wevi’s wobble but they don’t break up Art Adams \| 07/31- 05:44 PM IDX’s new Wevi CW-5HD wireless HD system will have you looking for hidden wires and cackling maniacally when you don’t find them If I hadn’t seen it myself, I wouldn’t have believed it.

That was then; this is now: here’s how build 16 has evolved… more » Thursday, July 24, 2008 Non-Locking Connectors Considered Harmful Adam Wilt \| 07/24- 06:04 PM A rant, a sad story, and—gasp!—some possibly useful suggestions. What results from not having both eSATA cables properly plugged in at startup time. All hail the progress of inexpensive CE (Consumer Electronics) and IT (Information Technology), and the cost benefits they bring to production! Unfortunately, they also bring some gotchas, like a plethora of non-locking connectors. Most us have probably struggled with the diminutive and easily-disturbed four-pin FireWire connector, and who hasn’t had a 1/8-inch stereo audio miniplug unplug itself at some point? more » Page 5 of 11 pages « First < 3 4 5 6 7 > Last »				3D Audio Budgeting Business Cameras Distribution Editing Hardware Interactive Lists Lighting Motion Graphics NAB '08 Pre-Production Production Post Production Training Visual Effects 10 Most Innovative Concert Visuals ‘08 Chris Meyer \| 01/06 Forget the big screen; I wanna create for the big stage… Apple Intros the New 17” MacBook Pro Scott Gentry \| 01/06 Unibody constructions comes to the 17” Explaining the Yellow Line in NFL Coverage Scott Gentry \| 01/06 Actually a llittle more complex than I thought.
