Evolution for cvolution in broadcast Cmotion
By David Fox
The compact new broadcast camin from Cmotion is a new intelligent interface designed to control focus, iris and zoom on any cine-style lens in a broadcast workflow.
The analogue connector is compatible with Canon or Fujinon broadcast controllers, while three regular motor ports allow the use of digital motors
from Arri and Hedén. Cmotion’s daisy-chain cforce motors can also be used independently or synchronised for a full six-motor broadcast system – all automatically calibrated at the touch of a button. A potentiometer provides iris adjustment, but common remote control panels can gain full iris control through the 16-pin EXT Hirose 12-pin interface. The new cvolution camin 3M lens control system comes in a sleek new housing 35% lighter than the previous 4M and
controls up to six motors. It is available with cmotion/Arri wireless units, and compatible
with Arri, Hedén and cforce motors. It can auto calibrate all or individual connected motors. To maintain a sleek profile, the 45° angle connectors are optimized for use with right angle cables. Also redesigned is the cvolution zoom controller czoom, with a new interchangeable mount, to fit neatly on any cvolution hand unit. It can also be mounted on any popular stabilised system such as Steadicam or Movi. The redesign also allows the same control module to control any lens axis in virtually any situation. Cmotion’s low-cost lens
controller for 1, 2 or 3 axis systems, the compact LCS, now costs less, due to new manufacturing techniques, and the 3 axis hand controller is now standard in all compact LCS configurations: 1c, 2c and 3. The system also gains several new features. 11.G42
management and publishing system, as well as highlighting relationships with Microsoft, Quantum and Spectra Logic. Scheduled for delivery in October, Imagen 3.4 includes cloud-based object storage support for Microsoft Azure and Amazon cloud services. Imagen users will be able to take advantage of cloud storage for backups, proxies or as a primary resource. Imagen’s storage service will offer drop down menus for access to Microsoft Azure’s Blob and Amazon’s S3 cloud storage systems. Imagen
3.4 also offers a new range of stock website themes and browser-based schema editing. Cambridge Imaging Systems is also building on its Quantum relationship with the introduction of IQ, a new production, storage, delivery and archive platform that combines Quantum’s StorNext Pro STUDIO scale-out storage appliances with Imagen software.
In addition, Imagen’s storage service API has been extended to support Spectra Logic’s BlackPearl deep storage appliance. And, Cambridge Imaging Systems is also represented on the Microsoft stand, demonstrating

director of Cambridge Imaging Systems: “Working with these leading developers means we can combine our strengths and bring together the best asset management and storage systems in ways that best suit our users.” 6.C23
Step-up for self-supporting screen system Custom Consoles By Michael Burns
An enhanced Media Wall multiscreen mounting system has made its first European appearance at IBC2014. Media Wall allows flat-screen monitor displays of a wide variety of widths to be constructed from standard horizontal and vertical support elements.
This latest version incorporates a series of improvements including
narrower front-to-back depth, reduced from 600 to 500mm. It is fully self-supporting and offers the option of adding coupling brackets directly to the studio wall. Media Wall incorporates height-adjustable horizontal beams suspended between 2.3 metre high aluminium columns. Equipment pods with 19-in racking behind removable vented panels can be incorporated at floor-level. Freely adjustable horizontal and vertical screen spacing replaces the former discrete- mount mounting holes. This allows individual display
screens to be positioned so that their edges meet exactly to form a continuous horizontal 'monitorscape', limited only by the boundary of the display itself.
Cable management within Media Wall is now along a PVC tray. All wiring is fully concealed and can enter or leave the structure at any desired point. Integral mains distribution units are available as an option. Custom Consoles' VESA mounts allow easy front access when mounting small screens to Media Wall. 8.A20
