Sent some time today researching the new Panasonic pan/tilt/zoom cameras and controller. Very cool. Looks very clean and simple to operate. Should be a hit. Check it out here.
Sweet little controller too -
Just one of the products you can see at the Panasonic road show next Tuesday, July 13th – only in Portland. Check out the PVT web site for all the info.
Getting ready behind the scenes of the parade to broadcast on KGW today. Nice to be working with Joe, Tracy and the rest of my former co-workers.
The show itself is as big as ever with 7 cameras and a full production truck. I’m the booth A2 responsible for all the mics and wireless gear.
Here @ PVT we are very excited to see our new Broadcast Pix Granite demo system that will be arriving soon. Just in time, Broadcast Pix has a great new promo. Buy a selected Slate or Granite system + a Viewcast 2100 or 2120 and save up to $3k. Call Professional Video & Tape for all the details.
In just days, the highly anticipated new Avid release will hit the streets. Behind the headlines about low-cost hardware and Pro Res support are lots small improvements for professional editors.
Here’s an unofficial list compiled by one international user: http://www.jobterburg.nl/MC5_extrafun.htm
His review? “A pretty awesome release.”
One of the big questions at our recent Canon Event was “How long will it take to import my files?” Canon has gotten in front of this issue, especially in the new Avid release coming this month.

You may still want to want to convert files to Avid DNX but you will have good links.
