Said Bacho senior vice president EMEA, Grass Valley
Has IBC come at a good time for the electronic media industry? Why? IBC this year comes during a very exciting time for the industry as we all continue to manage through the need to supply television viewers with the highest-quality content, on multiple devices, at any time, as efficiently as possible. Demand for content has never been higher and broadcasters are poised for the future and busily looking for the best ways to meet this demand.
What do you think are the key developments in, or threats to, your market sector at the current time? The most exciting recent developments are the
growing interest in 4K content and the migration to IP content workflows. For some, these may also seem like threats. At Grass Valley, we have clear roadmaps for our customers to begin building 4K workflows today that will keep them prepared for the future. The questions around IP are no longer 'if' questions but rather 'how' and 'when.' We’re prepared to help our customers into the future with answers to these questions, as well.
Why should delegates visit your stand at IBC? This is the first time that Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, is exhibiting in a single location at IBC. Our debut to the market gives broadcasters an opportunity
to learn how they can be Future-Ready thanks to our solutions that keep their businesses on the competitive edge. With the stability and influence of our parent company, Belden, our customers benefit from our ability to invest in innovation while also providing a level of support to the market that can’t be matched. They’ll see real end-to-end solutions that help them tell better stories while also becoming more efficient. 1.E02, 1.D11
New camera slider is light in weight
Matthews Studio Equipment By David Fox
MSE has introduced a simple, sturdy and lightweight sliding camera platform: MatthewsSlider. “It’s the open construction that makes our new slider stand out,” explained Robert Kulesh, Matthews’ VP sales and marketing. “MSE designed it to be both camera operator and grip friendly. As long as it is kept clean, it is virtually maintenance free. And it is totally field adjustable with few basic tools.”
MatthewsSlider can work upside-down for low- angle shots, can support more than one carriage at a
time for A-camera and B-camera shots, and has positive lock at 90º when in use on most dollies. Each
carriage can support up to 80kg (bracing of track might be necessary depending on the length). The proprietary wheels with Abec5 stainless bearings and ceramic balls make it fast and quiet.
It comes in four basic sizes: 74cm, 89cm, 114cm, and 178cm. “We can also custom any slider to the user’s specifications,” added Kulesh. It can be fashioned in increments of 12cm between cross members up to 266cm. The slider can accept any gear head/fluid head/camera combination, and the package includes a Mitchell swivel base and Mitchell carriage, as well as Mitchell 5cm risers, filter plate, slim design locking handle, a set of levelling legs, and extras.
