Il primo software a supportare TotalHD, il formato ibrido (HD DVD e BRD) di Warner
Sonic’s THDassign
HD DVD’s Second Generation: Toshiba HD-XA2 Review
Et voici l’enfant prodige
Hitachi-LG Internal Blu-Ray/HD-DVD Combo Drive
.

Un po’ fuori argomento ma non saprei dove altrimenti mettere la domanda.
Conoscete TrueDisc ?

Eccoli i nuovi pannelli led di ElementLabs con un CRI del 95% da 3.200 a 5.600K

Questo invece è il Rosco Litepad, tutt’altra storia ma sempre a led.

E questo è a fluorescenza ma lo posto perché mi fa ridere dalla prima volta che l’ho visto: sembra un frullatore.


A new format: HD Versatile Multilayer Disc
Third alternative to hit U.S., Europe in September
Un paio d’anni fa avevo letto di un network di teatri con proiettori 2K in Veneto. Vorrei sapere se qualcuno può aggiornarmi, visto che non ho più letto notizie, e sapere se ci sono (teatri) che magari utilizzino i Sony Cinealta 4K SXRD SRX-R220.

Più di 4.000 euro per montare ottiche 16, super 16 (centrate perché manca la banda ottica per l’audio) 35 e super 35 (idem). Prodotto da Victor Company per la serie JVC ProHD 200 che adesso prevede anche una versione a micro-onde.

Supporta anche le camere IMAX (6×7 stereo a trasporto orizzontale) !!
…..
Nettman non ha alcuna società di servizi in Italia. Magari qualcuno ne fonda una e così la cinematografia italiana smetterà di essere girata al 70% in un appartamento. Con puntate, però – bisogna ammetterlo, anche nel giardino di casa con location tipo “Le Rose Del Deserto”.
Neppure WESCAM e PHOTO-SONICS.

This year’s CineGear2007 exhibition in Los Angeles sees the launch of Codex Digital’s new portable digital cinematography recorder. No larger than a toaster, the Codex Portable’s elegant design is packed with ground-breaking features and the industry’s most advanced technology – creating brand new opportunities for single and multi-camera production.
Light, easily-transportable and battery-powered, the Codex Portable contains all the key features of its larger siblings, including dual-channel 4:4:4 and 4K recording, ruggedised removable RAID DiskPacks, an integrated touchscreen controller, 8 channels of digital audio and a Virtual File System.
This new system has been designed to meet industry demand for a compact and rugged field recorder. It complements the original, award-winning Codex HD, 2K, 4K media recorder/server, which has already redefined tapeless digital cinematography and is now being used on major studio productions in the US and Europe.
Using visually-lossless compression, the Codex Portable brings cinema-quality disk-recording to every production where uncompressed recording is not an absolute demand, but total portability is.
