    Standard locking DC power connectors?

    Getting ready to build a V mount to regulated power adapter and not sure about connectors. Aside from a 4 pin XLR, is there a standard locking DC power connector in use? These will be 7.2v to about 9v use, and also a 5v for USB power (but not a USB type A connector, still want locking here)...

    nVidia RTX Quadro in laptops

    Just got something from nVidia in my email about their new RTX Quadro chips in laptops: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/design-visualization/quadro-in-laptops/ I didn't click on any of the manufacturers, but I'm guessing most of the machines will be in the $2000+ (usd) price range because you...

    What if? 8mm camera with phone imager?

    So I'm thinking out loud here. There is a company that was selling custom converted Bolex cameras on Etsy called the Digilex. They were buying sensors and building some kind of control board for them. I looked at the images and wasn't thrilled with the resolution provided. But I'm still...

    AtomOS Shogun 7

    Did anyone see this? https://www.atomos.com/shogun7 The multiple 1080 inputs with live async. switching is really very interesting, but not sure I have a need beyond curiosity. I can of course invent use cases for work, but no money to toy with things right now. Also wondering if it will...

    Atomos Shogun - still worth having?

    As I'm getting back into live TV remotes, it's clear that I need to bring my own monitor to test feeds on cables. That's pretty easy. But I'd also like to have a monitor that I can calibrate so that I know it is accurate because you never know how good the monitors in the truck are going to be...

    Free official BlackMagic Davinci Resolve training resources.

    Torn between putting this in NLE or general software as it certainly covers a wider gamut than just editing. Also maybe sticky worthy and maybe we should have a Resolve section created (maybe?). Some of you may have seen this in other threads or other forums, but it looks like BlackMagic is...

    Anyone have any experience with the Movo V Mount multi-voltage battery mount? https://www.amazon.com/Movo-RBS1-Camcorders-Monitors-Microphones/dp/B06WWG1TDL/ I was going to make my own because I have some extra plates and can buy switching regulators from Pololu pretty cheap, but then I need to...

    Tariffs in the USA going to make everything we do more expensive.

    I just got an email about how the new tariffs are going to make certain Avid products more expensive, this included Nexus storage which they are predicting an 8 to 20% increase (depending on the number of hard drives installed). I assume this is going to filter all the way down to the "cheap" SD...

    Relamp for Desisti Monet model 210?

    We recently received many Desisti Monet model 210 fresnels from a TV station, they bought a new set and went LED with pretty much everything. So now I have about 12 of these fixtures sitting on the floor with the standard G22 bi-pin base. The station was having a lot of problems with the bases...

    Shooting welding?

    Any tips for shooting shots of welding? Think tighter shots of the metal and the arc. So far what I have is an adjustable auto darkening assembly from a welding helmet taped inside a mattebox. After white balance through the #4 filter it looks ok for the pre-arc video. Once the arc starts is the...

    Cheap light kits - panel vs. fresnel?

    We are in a crunch to spend some money before it is frozen, and for many years we've been discussing that we need to go to LED lighting. We currently have 12 kits with Tota and Omni lights, they are big, heavy, and cut into class time to cool down so they can be packed away. We were looking at...

    Batch transcoder (server) that is fairly cheap?

    I'm looking for a transcoder that can basically watch a folder and anything that is dropped into that folder will get transcoded into XDCam HD op1a at 50mbps to send to our Avid Airspeed. Need to kind of set it up as a server and FTP or make a file share or something to get stuff into it and out...

    Isle of Dogs?

    Anyone see this yet? It hasn't come around to my part of the USA but I'm kind of interested in seeing this in the theaters. Is it worth the money or all internet hype?

    Looking For On-Camera LED Light Diffuser

    Buy cheap clear plastic at a home store (for replacing widows), cut to size, sand both sides with 80 grit sandpaper, glue magnets to both light and diffuser. Done. That is essentially what came with our cheap Ikan lights, theirs are more refined but the idea is exactly the same. You can get...
