ON SHOWfor the first time was the Ninja 2 field recorder, which features HDMI input and output, as well as support for the latest version (3.0) of the AtomOS operating system. “We first showcased Ninja
at NAB 2011 and just a year later we’re back with a brand new, bigger and better version. Ninja 2 marks an important milestone for Atomos in both
FUJINON Two HD lens debuts for NAB
THE HA19x7.4BERM/BERD 2/3-inch Premier Series
high-performance HD ENG/ EFP production lens and the
XA19x7.4BESM- D8 compact, HDTV studio and field box-style lens made their
US debuts at NAB.
HA19x7 was introduced at IBC2011 and officially launched at NAB
First introduced at IBC 2011, the two lenses feature three floating zoom groups and Aspherics. They also feature the latest EBC coating, resulting in richer colours and improved blue response and transmittance.
The XA19x mini-box lens
offers automatic compensation of focus breathing. This mechanism synchronises the zoom movement to the focus movement, enabling the image size to remain constant when focusing — a must in episodic production. “The advanced features
we’ve built into these lenses are extremely important in the HDTV/big screen era as television viewers can see much more picture detail — including information in the corners of the screen — than ever before,” explained Thom Calabro, director, Marketing
and Product Development, FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Optical Devices Division. “For this reason, it’s vital to
have consistent resolution from edge to edge,” Calabro added. “These two new lenses expand our product portfolio with capability and superb optical performance that is ideal for high-end HDTV production. With 16-bit encoders and 2.2X extenders as standard features, these new 19X lenses ensure precision performance even in the most demanding HD production applications.”

product and company development; the change in hardware design and the new AtomOS 3.0 software means that Ninja 2 users can benefit from the same functionality updates as our Samurai customers,” said Jeromy Young, CEO and founder of Atomos.
The Ninja 2 can be used to
record directly from the new Nikon DSLR sensor (D4/D800) and the retina-
display Apple iPad. Its touchscreen has also been upgraded, now incorporating an 800x480 pixel display, with a viewing angle of 170°, both horizontally and vertically. One of the key new features
of AtomOS 3.0 is SmartLog — the ability to mark in and out points and tag clips using XML metadata. Another new feature is SmartControl, which allows start/stop/pause to be triggered on any number of
Samurais interconnected via their LANC port. AtomOS 3.0 also incorporates precision monitoring aides such as Focus Peaking, Zebra, False Color and Blue-Only. “Now there’s no need for an external monitor,” added Young. “We’re responding to customer feedback by giving even more functionality, but at no extra cost.”

LU40i and HPX600, a camera operator will be able to manage the video uplink while shooting. Samuel Wasserman, LiveU’s

We are confident that ‘live cameras’ symbolise the future for broadcasting and online media, and will open up
new market segments for live video transmission around the world.” At the show LiveU also
