View Article  Don't Forget The Varicam

One of the things that comes out of NAB for me is the sophistication of the PanasonicVaricam AJ-HDC27F.  The way theVaricam handles data it allows for the manipulating of frame rates in a sophisticated way (4-60 FPS).  With tape, when recording slower frame rates there is lots of redundant data.  Now that we have solid state recording we’ll start recording data only as needed by the actual frame rate.  This is possible because the Varicam has the capacity to record 60 progressive, unique frames of data persecond.  Keep the Varicam in the mix when you think about shooting a film in digital.

View Article  Venom use on the Arri D-20 (by Guy Livneh)




There is another bit of news i got from the Arri tech at their booth.



Apparently they are striking a deal with Grass Valley for the "Venom" flash mags to be used under a different name for the D-20. I think the images shown at the Arri booth were recorded using HDCAM SR so it can only get better.
