A Palo Alto-based startup called Light ... has developed camera technology for phone makers that will allow their devices to do true optical zoom, have good low-light performance and get high-resolution photos that are on par with DSLR cameras...
The way Light’s camera technology works is by placing multiple cameras on the back of a phone — around 6 or 11 cameras. Light stitches together all those images with its software to come out with high-resolution photos. Depending on how many cameras the phone maker chooses, it can achieve between 32 megapixels and 52 megapixels...
Western Digital has a Vidity hard drive ready that is ready for storing Hollywood's movies in the highest quality available, and playing them back on compatible screens. Right now the list of compatible devices is limited to Samsung's UHD TVs (2014 or 2015) with the M-Go app, and Fox is the first studio out of the gate with compatible movies. WD's $90 1TB, USB 3.0-connected My Passport Cinema drive meets the spec, is being packed in free with new Samsung TVs ...
Good news just in for purveyors of high-resolution videos: The Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) has revealed it will begin licensing the new Ultra HD Blu-ray format from August 24, 2015.... With licensing opening in less than three weeks, the BDA says it anticipates product announcements shortly after — certainly well in time for Christmas.
Not just the world's highest capacity SSD, but the world's highest capacity drive of any type. The PM1633 uses Samsung's new 48 layer V-NAND, itself a technical tour-de-force, and represents a new thrust in flash storage beyond performance: capacity.
Videocameras should shake out into four bodies, one consumer and three pros:
All the weird ones, like the Blackmagic 4K, Sony FS700, F3, etc., should go the way of the Dodo Bird. The problem with those is that they wanted to be either DSLRs or Handicams but are too big and heavy for that class. The DSLR and Handicam categories have very tight tolerances, and if you can't make it, you should just turn it into the next level. For example, the Blackmagic 4K is trying to be a DSLR. But that class shouldn't be more than a pound or two and no bigger than a GH4 or something. Can't swing it? Turn it into a handicam. Likewise, the FS700 is trying to be a handicam but that class falls apart above five pounds (including battery, lens, screen, etc.). Should have just made it a shoulder cam. This is why I doubt the Ursa Mini will be used as a handicam too, though it's ever so close. With battery and lens it will tip the scale, and people will either use it on the shoulder or develop Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
- Cell phone. Consumers will not buy any more cameras, unless they're into photography.
- DSLR. Hobbyists, pros undercover or travelling light, students, people on tight budgets. If NDs and XLRs somehow, this is all I want.
- Handicam. Pros who shoot weddings and other events and want to keep their subjects looking natural. My second choice, if done well --- which it hasn't yet.
- Shoulder. Pros with a large lens, lots of audio gear strapped on (shotgun, handheld, wireless), or who don't care about sticking out in a crowd.
Samsung is teaming up with upwards of 13 companies, both foreign and domestic, in a collaborative effort to bring a prototype 11k display to mobile devices by 2018. Yes, you read that correctly: 11k...
With most people still getting accustomed to 4k HDTV sets, putting 11k into perspective is probably a good idea. First off, 11k would result in an insanely high resolution of 2250 pixels per inch. By way of contrast, the incredible Retina Display on the iPhone 6 Plus packs a pixel density of 401. So yeah, we’re effectively talking about what amounts to an incomprehensible number of pixels on a device you can hold in your hand...
While 8K ultra-high definition (UHD) resolution television unit shipments have yet to begin commercial volume roll out, shipments will steadily increase over the next five years reaching nearly 1 million units by 2019, according to a new report from IHS.
Leading semiconductor solutions provider Broadcom Corporation BRCM, recently introduced upgraded system-on-a-chip (SoC) for its mid-range cable and IPTV set-top box devices to provide content more efficiently to subscribers globally.
The new chips integrate Broadcoms's 10-bit High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) technology, which is likely to result in a 50% reduction in bandwidth for a similar video quality. With the increasing use of cloud based all-IP video delivery, reduction in bandwidth costs is one of the most important requirements for operators. The new devices are expected to reduce bandwidth costs significantly.
