SIS LIVE and partners in live broadcast first: SIS LIVE has worked with the Red Bull Music Academy, Channel 4 and You Tube to deliver a unique project which saw 30 music gigs from the EDF Energy London Eye broadcast live and streamed online. Thirty of the 32 ferris wheel capsules played host to a different club night, with over 100 DJs and artists involved. SIS LIVE produced live multi-camera feeds from the 31 moving capsules, which were broadcast in realtime on

Panavision unveils Primo V Panavision has introduced a new line of Primo lenses, the Primo V series, designed for high- resolution 35mm digital cameras. The Primo V uses the lens elements from existing Primo lenses and aims to maximise digital image quality, bringing the look and feel of Panavision Primos to digital cinematography. Patent pending modifications of the Primo V lenses eliminate the coma, astigmatism and other aberrations introduced by the additional glass between the lens and sensor, while preserving image characteristics of the Primo optics. The Primo V lenses are compatible with any digital camera equipped with PL or Panavision 35 mount systems.
