This seems like a true possible contender to LTO tape – based archive solutions. Yes, it is another goofy Sony proprietary format, but it is quite possible this one might have some legs, and they are trying to establish it as an open standard… Most … Continue reading
These guys were the big hit of the show last year, and still nothing else came close to them this year. Yes, their tag line is ‘The New Black,’ but these monitors are superior to everything else out there on three fronts: Pixel to Pixel … Continue reading
This camera was announced a couple weeks before the show, and will be shipping in June – we are taking orders for it right now – but it was great to get some hands-on time with it. At a price that is supposed to be … Continue reading
Sony started with these last year, and they were interesting, but we really thought they were too ‘high-end’ for most of our customers. Especially with products like the Gemini 4:4:4 being introduced for fractions of the cost. Well, a year has gone by and two … Continue reading
Don’t get me wrong – it’s great that lower cost options are out there for those just getting into a prime lens collection, but it is nice to see companies like Fujinon ‘step up’ into this market.

Avid had their normal, huge presence at NAB again. They are attacking the market from so many different angles, it is really hard, if not impossible to summarize their news with just one or two themes, so Steve ‘Wolfie’ Browender of our staff put together this synopsis. Thanks, Wolfie! Continue reading
The AJA Ki-Pro Quad is so important, in our opinion, that it deserves its own post. It does so many things, it is hard to get it all down, but here is an attempt: Remember, this is supposed to list out at $3,995!!!
We saw it working in the Canon booth with the C500. I think they were talking about Summer delivery, but we don’t know for sure.
