New audio mixer joins crystal set
Lawo By Michael Burns
Raw recruit: The Production Camera 4K gets RAW DNG support
Cameras get an update Blackmagic Design By Carolyn Giardina
Blackmagic Design recently released its 1.8 update for its Blackmagic Cinema Camera, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera and Blackmagic Production Camera 4K. A new code base offers
improved performance and a new user interface similar in design to Blackmagic’s recently-announced URSA
camera. It also brings compressed RAW DNG support to the Blackmagic Production Camera 4K model. With this update, users gain enhanced lens control support for EF lens mount cameras such as the original Blackmagic Cinema Camera EF and the Blackmagic Production Camera 4K models. This means customers can 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 additional active MFT lens support for lenses including Sigma and Lumix. 7.H20
IBC will play host to the launch of a brand-new audio mixing console on 12 September. The new member of the Lawo product family, which the company claims boasts high performance and a new face, with an advanced featureset, is set to extend Lawo’s application range. Also on show will be the new crystal radio console. This entry- level mixer offers a redesigned user surface in a slim chassis and a new ergonomic handrest. The redesigned crystal base unit features power supply redundancy and optimised expansion slots for easy addition of I/O cards.
Lawo said the console was
prepared for integration with radio automation systems like ENCO, RCS, Dalet and Radiomax. It works with touchscreen-optimised VisTool
PC software, providing additional functionality for DSP parameters, signal levels, and the snapshot database.
Also on display will be the fully touchscreen-based crystalCLEAR virtual radio mixing console, complementing the crystal product line for applications where no physical faders are needed. And finally, the mc²56 and the mc²66 audio mixing consoles in different frame sizes will be on show too. These include features such as the advanced AutoMix function, which enabled the production of 32 feeds with two operators during the World Cup in Brazil. 8.C71
