Nab 2016

Does anybody know if Panasonic is doing a live presentation of their new products at NAB?

i don't think they are doing one http://business.panasonic.co.uk/professional-camera/press-and-events/nab-2016

NEXT GENERATION OF VIDEO CREATION

Panasonic's approach towards 8K/4K, VoIP & HDR

We will exhibit at NAB 2016 from April 18th to April 21st at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, USA.
One of the main concepts will be IP-based solutions like "video over IP (VoIP)" as cooperation with 3rd parties and cloud-based ENG workflow.
We will showcase our company’s signature VariCam® cameras, including the newly announced VariCam LT as well as our two new studio cameras, the AK-HC5000 and the 4K AK-UC3000.
You will be able to see the AG-DVX200 and our extensive remote camera line up. On our booth you will find various applications for the new 4K AW-UE70, our autotracking software, and many more.
We are looking forward to see you at booth #C3607 in the Central Hall!
 
The first announcement for Atomos at NAB - ‪#‎ShogunInferno‬ - our new Flagship monitor recorder combining the best in monitoring technology – HDR, 10-bit, 1500nit brightness, PQ in/out, with the ultimate in recording resolution and frame rate – 4K 60p, HD 240p, Raw recording, Quad SDI. https://www.atomos.com/inferno/

DJI has announced the Ronin-MX gimbal and the Matrice or M600 drone

Some pretty interesting features and tech with BOTH items.


EDIT: Pricing appears to be set at $1599 for the Ronin-MX and $4599 for the M600. Probably MRSP but would still think that is close to selling price. The M600 can carry up to 6kg or 13 lbs and last 16 minutes hauling an EPIC. The MX can carry 4.5kg or 10 lbs. Obviously if you have the MX on the M600 your camera weight max will greatly diminish.

You can't have the VoIP acronym -- that has been "voice over IP" for a couple of decades already, at least since the mid 1990s. See ITU standard H.323 published around 1996. Trying to use VoIP to mean something other than voice is just going to confuse the heck out of anyone with even a moderate technical education.

Video over IP is called "livestreaming" or even just "streaming" at this stage. Don't believe me; ask Teradek.

EDIT: what I'm seeing (now that I'm thinking about this and watching the stream of stuff coming from NAB 2016 anyway) is both IPV and IPTV. The "good stuff" seems to be compliant with NewTek's NDI "standard". So if it's got to have an acronym, maybe one of these fits. IDK.

Sending video signals over IP is more than just streaming (although I agree that repurposing the VoIP acronym for this is a very bad idea). Streaming most often refers to delivering relatively low bandwidth video signals over IP networks (usually the Internet) to consumers.

What's changing now is there is a lot more interest in using IP networks (often LANs or private networks) to transport higher bandwidth video signals during production. There are emerging standards like the SMPTE 2022-6 for transporting uncompressed video over 10Gb ethernet (basically SDI over IP). And there's Evertz ASPEN which is another uncompressed video over IP protocol (uncompressed but uses MPEG Transport Streams for delivery).

And then there are several efforts to add lightweight compression into the mix to allow for transport of multiple video signals or higher resolutions over a single IP link. Two examples of this are NewTek's NDI protocol and the TICO alliance.

It's too soon to tell how this will all shake out, but as video resolutions and framerates continue to rise I think there will be a lot more interest in how to manage the increasing data rates, and having a transport infrastructure like IP that doesn't really care so much about the details of what is being sent over it could be very useful.
 
The subject says "No new Super35mm camera from Sony" - does that mean no Super35mm, but full frame 35mm camera from Sony is still possible ?

you might want to tell that to the Panasonic PR people - I got ths from their website. CHeers

Means that there are no owner operator S35 cameras announced at NAB by Sony this year - no new FS camera, Just one with S35 chip the HDC-4800 - but its a studio camera, so it doesnt really matter to 95% of the readers of my blog. Thats what I meant
 
Does anyone have any info on Video Devices?
Curious if they have updated (or are planning to) their Pix-E5 or Pix-E7 for RAW.
As the other two competitors have this (in anticipation of the FS5 update for example), wondered if someone could ask them this question...

I dont think the PIX-E series would ever record Raw. They have always been advertised as great monitors who happen to record in high quality ProRes and top notch audio with the PIX LR attachement.
