    • Sony Unveils HDC-4300 World’s First 4K System Camera with Three 4K Image Sensors

      Press release from #NABShow by blog.Sony.com Las Vegas, April 12, 2015 – Sony’s next generation of HDC series camera technology provides the ability to use the high magnification wide zoom range lenses currently employed by HD 2/3-inch systems while maintaining an adequate depth of field to properly show all of the action in live event broadcasting. The new HDC-4300 is the world’s first camera to use three 2/3-inch 4K image sensors¹. It supports the same B4-mount lenses as well as the same control surfaces as Sony’s industry leading HDC-2000 series cameras. The existing HDLA-1500 series, control and shading systems, viewfinders and master set-up units are all interchangeable between the HD and 4K systems. Directors and operators can keep their approach to live events — including camera angles, zoom ranges and iris settings – while using familiar camera technology. “This camera provides 4K capabilities and a workflow that content producers are instantly familiar and comfortable with,” said Rob Willox, marketing manager for content creation systems, Sony’s Professional Solutions Americas. “We’ve developed an approach that allows the large existing HDC series user base to employ 4K advantages such as 8x high frame rate and 4K cut-out and zoom while using a familiar infrastructure and signal path.” The new HDC-4300 is capable of 4K/HD operation, with 2x, 3x Super Slow Motion as standard, and higher speeds up to 8x available, to produce high-quality replays and specialty program effects. The camera uses ultra-high-precision alignment technology to realize three 4K sensor on a new prism. This allows the support of the next-generation ITU-R BT.2020 broadcast standard’s widened color space for future-proof masters or post production options for today’s productions, shown on tomorrow’s 4K services. Direct attachment of B4 HD lensesStandard large-format B4-mount lenses mount directly onto the HDC‑4300. This gives broadcasters the flexibility needed for live sports broadcasts: 4K capabilities while maintaining their customary HD-lens operating styles. SZC-4001 SoftwareSony’s SZC-4001 software package (sold separately) allows broadcasters to take advantage of 4K capabilities. Super Slow Motion (up to 8x) at HD ResolutionThe SZC-4002 software package (sold separately) enables the system to shoot full HD (1920 x 1080) at frame rates up to 479.52/400 fps, as well as 59.94/50, 119.88/100, and 179.82/150 fps. Users can save these high-frame-rate shots to Sony’s PWS-4400 multiport 4K/HD Live Server. HD/4K Live Production for Sports  The HDC-4300 accepts the same configurations as existing 4K live systems. A BPU-4000 baseband processor unit receives the camera signals via SMPTE fiber and connects to an HDCU-2000 or 2500 camera control unit. This provides power and full intercom, tally, and return capabilities.Users can seamlessly blend an HDC-4300-based system with existing HDC Series camera systems. The HD signals from the HDC Series cameras and from the new camera system can be adjusted to match colorimetry. The addition of other 4K products, such as the PWS-4400 multi-port 4K/HD Live server, a multi-format switcher capable of real-time 4K signal processing based on the MVS-8000X, and Sony’s new BVM-X300 4K OLED or PMW-X300 4K LCD monitors create an end-to-end 4K live production solution. HDC-4300 – additional features:• HD cut-outs – two full HD images to be cut out from the 4K picture in real-time including a selectable zoom and perspective mode.• Many of the Picture adjustment functions of HDC Series cameras are supported by the HDC-4300 system• Dynamic focus (4K focus-assist function) – a focus point can be displayed on the viewfinder with a marker in 4K mode for easy focusing.• Auto lens aberration compensation 2 (ALAC2) function• Color reproduction adjustment functions• Gamma table selection• User gamma function• Natural skin-tone detail function• Knee saturation function• Low-key saturation function The HDC-4300 4K/HD live camera system is planned to be available in summer of 2015.

Wi-Fi technology also allows remote control of key camcorder controls, such as recording start/stop and zoom, exposure functions and focus settings via tablet or smartphone. And, through in a couple of extra BP-828 battery, you'll have plenty of power to film that recovery after dark!

The Canon XA20 has a 20x optical zoom that will bring that buck in close, and with the superb optical quality of Canon's lens, he'll look just as good 200 yards out as he will on your wall. The manual focus wheel guarantees that you can manually focus on the buck and not the annoying tree limbs in front! Don't forget to screw on a UV Filter to protect your lens from scratches and dirt!

indiSLIDER Mini:
24" of compact, light-weight, fast set-up sliding. Everything that is needed to make 'those' shots you've seen on other peoples' work is available.
With the new indiMOUNT on the glide carriage, no fluid head is needed. Attach the camera to the mounting puck and attach into the holder. This also allows for the camera to be rotated and locked for fixed position shots, or used as a panning device.
Attach to a tripod quick release plate, or directly to the tripod flat base. Either option works.
The light weight of the indiSLIDERmini allows it to be used directly on a fluid head. This allows a quick release plate to be utilized, and also the creativity that mounting the indiSLIDERmini to an infinitely adjustable fluid head brings.
It includes table legs so that the mini can be placed directly on a hard surface and used without a tripod. Imagine the possibilities for close up and close quarter shots.


Campbell Cameras Ball Head:

The new Campbell Cameras ball head is a low profile, fully adjustable ball head that is ideal for sliders. This fully adjustable ball head allows you to level your camera/DSLR on 90º vertical and slanted slides. It is small enough to keep lightweight and portable but strong enough to hold up to 50 lbs! 

It impresses with its precisely adjustable friction control with convenient lock positions, its displacement-free clamping of the ball according to the principle of "what you see is what you get", and its intuitive operation. Other features include the finely detailed scale for pan shots, an outstandingly smooth operation for horizontal panning and a special rubber coating of the adjustment knobs for fast operation even with wet hands or when wearing gloves.

The Campbell Cameras Ball Head features a quick release plate, made entirely of die-cast aluminium and equipped with a convenient safety lock, three integrated bubble levels, and the camera plate CX470 (also made of aluminium) with 1/4" camera screw and retractable video pin, features a premium quality, contemporary design.

Every Campbell Cameras ball head comes supplied with a soft microfibre cloth in a well-padded carrying case. An Allen key for retrofitting a quick release system and a 3/8" thread adapter for tripod attachment are also supplied.
