transcoding allows live, direct- to-web content delivery. Broadcaster also provides a cost-effective way to provide multicamera coverage at an event without a production truck.

to 60p and HD at up to 240p; and a compact handheld unit (GY-LSX2) using Micro Four Thirds lenses.
Ninja recording Star The new Atomos Ninja Star is the world’s smallest ProRes recorder that should be ideal for use with PoV cameras or on remote control helicopters.
In the last year, there has been a surge in fi xed rig production with many series shot using discreet camera heads and pan/tilt/zoom cameras
live. Broadcaster also accepts and transcodes video from Android and iOS devices, so users can take live video from a reporter with a smartphone. JVC also launched the KMH- 8000 StreamSuite portable webcasting production system. Its built-in switcher supports up to four wireless IP live HD video sources, and it also supports wired cameras.

Of course, there are restrictions on where UAVs can be used, but where permissions and safety procedures are in place it could offer a well-integrated way to get live aerial shots of an event while recording 4K for future use.

“Our customers screamed for a tiny, fl ash-based Apple ProRes recorder and player for extreme applications, their second location cameras or simply when they already had a monitor,” explained Jeromy Young, CEO and founder of Atomos. “At $295 with low- cost Gen 1 CFast [solid state memory cards], weighing a mere 100g, its price, durability and portability is unmatched.”
The prototype JVC GW-GBLS1 gimbal-mounted camera includes IP technology for live transmission
It has HDMI input and is small enough (8.75cmx5.75cmx2cm) to work with action cameras that record internally only in MPEG or H.264, and offer edit-ready recording with Apple ProRes.
It can capture 10-bit 4:2:2 images to inexpensive fi rst generation CFast media with up to almost three hours of Apple ProRes HQ (using a 256GB card — it also records
ProRes 422 and LT). It also features frame- accurate timecode (via HDMI) and Start/Stop Trigger, thanks to cooperation from the leading camera manufacturers (Canon, Sony, Panasonic, Nikon and JVC). Audio can be taken direct from the camera on the two embedded digital channels or an external microphone can be added via the audio line in port for an extra two channels of analogue audio. It
also has an HDMI out for use with an external monitor. The battery is promised to last for about fi ve hours, although it takes only one Sony camera battery instead of the dual battery ports seen on the bigger Ninja and Samurai recorders.
