Yeah and apparently the M1 has hardware decode and encode for 10-bit HEVC. This could be the killer system for working with a range of cameras including 6K S1H footage. I think the most remarkable thing about this is the Apple wants to sell $3000 systems. They must have some amazing stuff...

They are killing it. These primes and their new super 35 zooms are impressive, and the user changeable mounts are pretty sweet. I wonder how long it will take for them to release FF zooms. There is a to be continued placeholder on the home page so it might not be long.

I guess it's time to update my phone. https://www.macrumors.com/2020/10/13/live-coverage-october-2020-apple-event/

I think you might be referring to this excursion. At least you can't say he is taking chances with his personal health. https://abcnews.go.com/International/putin-dons-hazmat-suit-russia-admits-virus-numbers/story?id=69768452

Very cool, I've never heard of the this lens but I think I might pick one up. I read it was waterproof up to the USB port so that creates a number of interesting possibilities. I don't usually buy from Amazon but when I went there to check pricing there was in the lens listing to visit "Visit...

Flatpanelshd has tested Apple TV+ and found they are offering highest data rates of any streaming provider. See has the highest data rates at "29 Mb/s average video bitrate and 41 Mb/s video peak". This is higher than Netflix's typical data rate of 16mbs so it looks like there is a new...

Yes, I think it's a bit disingenuous for Sony to call this a full frame crop and to list the 50p/60p frame rates under full frame. Many who don't look closer will think the FX9 uses the full 6K sensor when shooting 50p/60p when in fact it only uses 83% of the sensor. I think it would be more...

FOX is delivering via cable and streaming the first NFL game broadcast in 4K HDR. Unfortunately because almost all of their equipment including the slow motion cameras is 1080P, they have to upscale the 1080P HDR signal to deliver 4K HDR. Apparently Fox is trying to get to a true 4K pipeline...

There are so many threads that I'm sure if this has been noted elsewhere. Apparently the FX9 is only records DCI 4K and UHD using the full sensor at 30P and below. Sony says that when recording 4K at 60P the FX9 uses a 83% crop of the sensor. It sounds like it might be processing limitation...

When Panasonic updates their Varicam line with a 6Kish sensor you may get your wish since the Varicam 35 already supports 12 bit AVC-Intra4K444. I don't have experience with it but it's good enough for studios to use for theatrical release. Since the EVA1 already delivers a supersampled 4K...

Apparently there is a good chance Apple will be releasing that 16" MacBook Pro later this year. The firm referenced in the Macrumors article below has significant display expertise and their analysts correctly predicted updates to the iPad Pro and Apple Watch months in advance. In addition to...

This is a pretty big play! https://www.newsshooter.com/2019/06/01/atomos-neon-cinema-monitor-recorders-2/

This came a bit sooner than I expected. I'm pretty happy about the keyboard update and an 8-core option but I this new model apparently uses the same chassis and system board. I'll reserve judgment but I would be surprised if Apple or any other OEM was able to fix the thermal throttling issues...

I agree that the other major camera vendors are unlikely to implement BlackMagic RAW. I just don’t see what’s in it for Panasonic, Canon, or Sony to support the format, especially if they share your concern about it being a true RAW format. I think ProRes RAW is a different matter and I...

Looks like ProRes RAW is getting rolled out in a bunch of new products. Two notable omission are Adobe Premiere and DaVinci Resolve, but that may change since tomorrow is the first big day of the conference...
