Emotion Systems
Focus on file-based workflows By Carolyn Giardina
THE LATEST versions of Emotion Systems’ eFF and Engine will be on show in Amsterdam.
These tools let users open a range of video and audio files as well as make measurements and adjustments and handle transcoding without conversion to baseband. Supported file formats include MXF, P2, LXF, QuickTime, WAV, AIFF and DPP, as well as files with Dolby E. eFF provides audio loudness compliance to a range of standards and can be used in multiple workflows including standalone, automatic watch folder and fully automatic through API integration.
Engine allows automated file-based audio workflows for loudness, Dolby E encoding and decoding, track replication and track swapping. It is controlled by use of a ReSTful API and can be integrated with various MAM systems. Emotion CEO, MC Patel, said: “We have worked very closely with our customers to understand the audio issues they have with file-based workflows and this closeness has allowed us to engineer systems that are functional, cost effective and scalable.” 6.C28c
for EF lens mount cameras such as the original Blackmagic Cinema Camera EF and the Blackmagic Production Camera
4K models. This means customers now get auto focus when pushing the focus button on active EF-based lenses.
The release also improves the focus peaking display. The original Blackmagic Cinema Camera gains enhancements to the camera’s dynamic range when shooting at 1600 ISO.
For the Pocket Cinema Camera, the 1.8 update includes the new interface, focus peaking and improved de-bayer quality, plus extra active MFT lens support for lenses including Sigma and Lumix. 7.H20
