Preview: Sony PMW-350 2/3” 3-CMOS XDCAM EX Camcorder

by Adam Wilt

Sony has announced the PMW-350, the first 2/3” camcorder in the EX series of solid-state memory-based MPEG2 camcorders. It’ll ship in January 2010. Sony kindly lent me a pre-production prototype for a week, and this preview is the result: not an all-out review, because the PMW-350 isn’t finished yet, but a good “first look” that’s probably 90% accurate regarding the final product.

AJA KiPro: More Than Just a Field Recorder

by Steve Hullfish

imageThe AJA KiPro (pronounced “kee-PRO”) is a very nicely designed unit that I believe will become more and more useful over time. As it is currently released, several of the features that I really am interested in are still not implemented, but the potential is definitely there.

My overall impression is that it’s a great little box that is very well engineered, but I have some reservations and an extensive wish list for making the device a “must have.” Before I get in to that, let me tell you a little about the device.

DSLR Shootout

by Richard Harrington

imageI am truly excited by the convergence of technology that is occurring with DSLR cameras and video recording. The format allows for the recording of some truly amazing images due to sensor size and lens selection. But like all technologies, it suffers from some constraints that need to be overcome.

How to get the “24p” look for your live-switched multicam shoot

Allan Tépper | 02/10- 04:23 PM

A contracted article, sponsored by Datavideo Corporation.

Our friends at Datavideo recently asked me to write an article called How to get the “24p” look for your live-switched multicam shoot. The article covers many factors involved in accomplishing that goal, including framerate, aperture, shutter speed, depth of field, and menu settings in Datavideo’s digital HD video mixers (“switchers”) and recorders, and also the menu settings in several pro cameras from Canon, Panasonic, and Sony. The included chart explains which of the cameras have a direct HD-SDI output, and which require an optional converter to go from HDMI to HD-SDI to connect to the Datavideo digital HD video mixer. As you’ll see in the article, the approach is quite different from the workflows I normally cover, which are more appropriate when programs are to be edited, as opposed to when they are shot —and potentially broadcast— live. The graphics for this article were done by Victory Elliot of Datavideo Corporation.

Getting watery trick shots with this DSLR housing

Here’s another FreshDV Gear in 60 Seconds video, on the Nauticam NA-60D housing for Canon 60D DSLR stills & video. In this case, we used the housing to get some wild trick shots for a short narrative film. Watch me jump off a waterfall in the video below…
