Ted Schilowitz, President of Red Digital Cinema, introduces Bettina Martin of 3ality Technica, who discusses the technical specifications as well as the real world production use of a new RED EPIC 3ality Technica 3D RIG introduced at IBC 2012. Built around the RED EPIC camera, the Helix 3D rig features a miro box that can be easily adjusted to work with a variety of camera lenses. 3D metadata is recorded directly to the RED EPIC for a useful reference during post-production. A Stereo Image Processor (SIP) also allows for a smooth transition from 2D to 3D when used in conjunction with the Helix 3D rig.

Rob Tarrant, European Product Manager for Panasonic Professional Camera System Solutions, discusses the importance of camera connectivity and explains how the new Panasonic AG-HPX600 helps to promote camera connectivity, including wireless video streaming, metadata amending, and even in-camera video editing. In-camera video editing can be accomplished with the AG-HPX600 via the use of camera proxy files and an Internet-enabled device (such as an iPad), which in turn allows for the transfer of edited files via an FTP server.

Paul Atkinson, Product Specialist for Canon Europe, reviews the two newest cameras of the Canon Cinema EOS product line--the Canon C100 and the Canon C500. Optimized for single operator use, the Canon C100 includes features such as one-shot autofocus, push auto iris and a built-in microphone. A wide dynamic range is also possible to achieve with the C100 using the Log Gamma setting. At the top of the Cinema EOS line, the Canon C500 allows for either 4K or 2K raw output to an external recorder while simultaneously recording in HD to CF cards to optimize workflow and data storage. The EF Mount with Cinema Lock feature also provides the C500 with a unique mounting solution compared to the rest of the EOS line. The entire Canon Cinema EOS collection was introduced for the first time as a complete product line at IBC 2012.

Marc Shipman-Mueller of ARRI discusses a few new features of the Alexa camera line highlighted at IBC 2012, including new software that allows for the direct recording of ProRes 2K video files, as well as a new Carl Zeiss Master Anamorphic Lens featuring the image quality of a spherical lens. In addition, the fiber remote option for the ARRI Alexa allows for simple studio television integration.

Mike Scheibinger of Sony Creative Software discusses two new software solutions for audio and video producers introduced at IBC 2012--Sound Forge Pro for Mac and SpectraLayers Pro. Specifically designed for Mac OSX, the new Sound Forge Pro for Mac features the ability to master, edit, and render multiple layers of sound while taking advantage of various plug-ins, such as isotope plug-ins and pro-audio processing plug-ins as well as audio restore and repair tools. SpectraLayers Pro is an advanced audio spectrum editor that allows for the elements of a sound file to be separated, modified, and then recombined, which in turn greatly aids in the elimination of undesirable sounds such as background noise.

Michael Schiehlen of Carl Zeiss discusses a few new additions to the company's special camera lens range of Compact prime and zoom lenses featured at IBC 2012. The Carl Zeiss Compact Zoom CZ.2 lens features a 70-200mm focal length and a t-stop of 2.9, covering the full frame center. A major advantage of using the Compact Zoom C.2 is that this lens has no zoom shift. A 28-80mm medium range focal length lens is also available as a part of the Compact Zoom lens family and has similar features to the CZ.2.
02:11
Jim Sanfilippo with Nila LED Lighting reviews the advantages of using energy efficient LED lighting in video production, including longer battery life and the ability to create more light while drawing significantly less power. The Nila Varsa introduced at IBC 2012 is meant to replace a traditional 400w HMI light and features both AC and DC inputs as well as at-the-fixture and DMX dimming capabilities, and uses a holographic lensing system.

Q What are you most excited to see while at IBC this weekend?
A It has to be the IBC Info Channel, which is being transmitted to screens around the event using the AdderLink Infinity. It means that everyone at the show will be able to see what Adder technology is capable of. If there is any spare time, we might pop across to the Workflow Solutions Village, which is dedicated to file-based production technologies, to find out about the latest developments in this area and how Adder systems can be incorporated into them. The line-up for its presentation theatre looks intriguing, with talks by the likes of MTV, ITV and BBC.

Q What new product is your company showcasing at IBC 2012 this year?
A Together with Adobe we have just developed a new Plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, right in time for IBC. It allows video editors seamless access to our footage and audio collections, all exclusively within Adobe Premiere. So far no other stock footage agency has developed one within Adobe Premiere Pro. Users no longer need to leave the application Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and to interrupt their workflow, all – creating new content using our royalty-free stock footage and audio content – is now done easily within Adobe Premiere Pro. The new plug-in requires Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (or later versions) and Mac OS 10.6.8 resp. Windows 7. It was developed by a Pond5 engineering team in Germany, Switzerland and the US. Adobe has created an introduction on how to install and how to use the new plug-in, and demonstrates which new and great possibilities it offers. You can watch an introduction on Adobe TV
Q What are you most excited to see while at IBC 2012?
A We're looking forward to seeing the reaction of the broadcast and service provider communities to the continued evolution of managed video services. Regardless of network type, the ability to seamlessly transport, manage and control services, from end to end, is becoming increasingly important. And Nevion's VideoIPath enhancements continue to push the envelope of what's possible.
Innovations in optical networking are also sure to be a hot area. Easily leveraging optical fiber's benefits is on nearly everyone's mind.
Q What are you most excited to see while at IBC 2012?
A We've been providing a news production system for IBC TV News for the past four years, but this year we're very excited to be hosting a ‘news spot’ on our booth where interviews will be conducted throughout the show. We're installing a fully integrated news solution for HD ingest, storage, editing and playout to get the channel on air during the show. Our systems will manage the entire HD production of the daily news programs, from the news flashes broadcast on the IBC TV News channel, to web-streaming, mobile content, and video podcasts.
Q What new product(s) is your company showcasing at IBC 2012 this year?
A Our Plazma Light, Blackmagic Camera Rigs, C300 Grip Relocator, Tornado-Mechanical Follow Focus, and much more.
Q What are you most excited to see while at IBC 2012?
A To get our customers feedback on our new products!
Q Can you share a little bit about your company and what makes it stand out from the rest?
A Our gear is universal between cameras and quick releasable, we sell parts so our customers can make their own customizable rig/equipment, and we have a lifetime warranty—that's how much we believe in our product.
Q Anything else you would like to add?
A Zacuto also has a Production side to the company where we produce our own original programming to entertain and educate the video, film and photographic industries. With EMMY's won in both 2010 & 2011 (Midwest region), Zacuto Films is a completely separate entity from Zacuto USA, and Rentals. Zacuto Films has its own staff that is entirely dedicated to creating world class original programming. FilmFellas and Critics are two of our ongoing very popular webisodic series produced by Jens Bogehegn, Steve Weiss and Scott Lynch.
Q What international video production trends have you noticed from the Olympics, that you expect will continue at IBC?
A The big trend is the ability to use high-speed data networks that connect the IBC to home broadcast facilities thousands of miles away. The pipes are more reliable, the equipment on either end does a better job of transferring content as files, and the end result is many more people can stay home, saving the networks a tremendous amount of money.
There are, of course, some limits. A nice studio always helps attract better guests and it is also still important to have a studio that makes the viewer feel as if the network is there in force. But more and more networks are handling more and more of their productions from home.
The other big trend is less reliance on Apple Final Cut Pro as the professional TV industry is still not thrilled with FCP X.
Q What are you most excited to see at IBC and why?
A The most exciting thing I have seen is UltraHD coverage of the Opening Ceremonies and swimming events. A first-generation technology developed by NHK, UltraHD delivers more than 16 times the resolution of HD and also a 22.2 channel audio experience. The demonstration, being done by NHK, the BBB, and OBS, is being broadcast to theaters in Washington, DC, Japan, and around the UK, and delivers a stunning viewing experience free of any lines whatsoever. Look for it to become a market reality in 2020.
This year at the IBC Show, we will conduct interviews with esteemed companies in the industry to keep our users informed of top relevant news / announcements. These quick video recorded interviews are then posted on ProductionHUBTV.
