What do you think are the key developments in, or threats to, your market sector at the current time?
The storage market is plagued with vendors that can’t deliver on their promises. All too often, performance figures are not real-world tested. Day-to-day operations are over-complex and systems are built to solve today’s problems – they’re simply not scalable or expandable for tomorrow’s workload. All too often customers invest in solutions that place massive restrictions on workgroups and need constant technical support.
Has IBC come at a good time for the electronic media industry? Why? Broadcasters and post houses are struggling to realise the full benefits of tapeless. Until now,
users have locked themselves into a single vendor or linked individual systems via messy work-arounds. IBC2013 is seeing this change. Companies such as GB Labs have been

Space saver: The new collapsible F8 LED Fresnel from Zylight
New foldable F8 Fresnel fixture
Zylight By David Fox
A compact new LED light that folds flat (collapsing to less than 10cm thick) for easy transport and storage has been launched by Zylight.
The F8 LED Fresnel is available in tungsten (3200K) or daylight (5600K) versions, with a CRI (colour rendering index) score of 97 or better.
The fully dimmable F8 has an adjustable beam spread (16°-70º) for even coverage for widescreen productions, and maintains single shadow traditional Fresnel beam shaping through a 20cm Schott glass lens, with a patented focusing system for spot and flood.
While the F8 draws only
100W, it is claimed to approach the light output of a traditional 1000W Fresnel. It is also water resistant (IP54) and can be powered by a worldwide AC adapter or standard 14.4V camera battery. “We’ve designed the F8 to be a versatile, rugged light for studio and location work,” said Zylight’s president, Joe Arnao. “It’s bright like an HMI but better suited for run-and-gun news ENG applications – you just snap on a battery and go. In the studio, the F8 saves space and costs less to operate than traditional Fresnels.”
F8 comes with the ZyLink
wireless technology, which links multiple Zylights under simultaneous remote control, so several F8s can be grouped together. It can also be controlled via DMX. 11.F56
