Neo tunes up LED lighting Rotolight
from 0%-100% with no colour shift.
By David Fox
Claimed to be the world’s first on-camera lighting system with accurate electronic colour temperature display, the Rotolight Neo should offer fast, tuneable colour on location.
The bi-colour LED light will also deliver 957 lux at 90cm (twice that of competing LED on-camera lights), whilst providing a soft light source, and good battery performance.
It uses 120 LEDs to offer full spectrum colour reproduction with an overall CRI of 95 (and a skin tone rating of more than 98), and colour can be accurately dialled from 3150K to 6300K in 10K steps. It has a dual rotary encoder control for brightness and colour temperature adjustment, and uses Rotolight’s Dynamic Drift Compensation to achieve smooth dimming
C-Com helps relief in Yunnan By Ian McMurray
The massive earthquake in China’s Yunnan province last month saw a huge relief effort put in place, and C-COM Satellite Systems was part of that effort, working with Unisat and China Mobile to deploy a number of its iNetVu antenna systems to assist with communications. “We have been working with C-COM and its iNetVu mobile antennas for more than eight years,” said Jian Liu, president and CEO of Unisat. “Unisat was the first C-COM reseller in China and we have installed a large number of iNetVu mobile products. Many of the C-COM
products we sell are deployed for emergency and disaster management.”
“During the last big Chinese earthquake in 2008, Unisat delivered a number of iNetVu mobile antennas to provide emergency communications and TV uplink transmission from the earthquake zone,” he continued. “Our customers in China depend on the reliability of the iNetVu products. All of the systems which were deployed during the 2008 earthquake are still working today without the need of any replacement parts. We expect to sell many more units to both existing and new customers in China.” 4.C55
Neo can be powered by six AA batteries for up to five hours (or three hours at 100% power), or via an AC adapter or D-Tap cable, drawing just 9W at full power. It will be available as a single or multi light kit, and include a 10-piece Location Filter Pack including diffusion, skin tone and creative effects filters. 11.D69

Powerful electronic viewfinder launched Zacuto By David Fox
Zacuto’s new Gratical HD packs a lot of computing power for an electronic viewfinder, with a powerful dual-core FPGA processor allowing for added functions (such as focus assist) and customisation. It also has a 4:3 1280x1024
Micro-OLED display with an extended contrast range. When the top part is used as a 16:9 1280x720 HD display, there is plenty of room for waveform, histogram, vectorscope and other data. Zacuto had experimented with a full 1080p OLED, but it didn’t make a visible difference at that scale and would have been much more
View point: Zacuto’s Gratical HD has a high-contrast 1280x1024 Micro-OLED display
expensive.
It has HDMI 2.0 (for 4K) and HD-SDI in/out, and can cross-convert HDMI to HD- SDI. It can also import, export and create look up tables, and users can have separate LUTs in use for both the viewfinder and the HD-SDI output to another monitor or video village (which can also view different scopes to the EVF).
The
LUTs can be saved as presets and exported to software like Resolve. It is self-powered (battery),
has an Arri rosette on the side for easy mounting, and users will be able to buy custom camera cables, allowing it to show the same on-screen data as the camera’s own display. 11.G64
3G-SDI/HDMI C-Box cross converters
Wooden Camera By David Fox
The new range of C-Box cross converters from Wooden Camera take in 3G-SDI and HDMI input and can simultaneously output three channels of HD-SDI and two of HDMI. There are three versions, one draws power via a D-Tap from a battery or battery plate using an included cable, while the others draw power internally from either a V-Mount plate or Gold Mount, passing power through to the camera on the other side – they also have an additional D-Tap output for accessory power. There is also a 5v Mini USB output, useful if there is a
wireless transmitter, such as an IDX Cam-Wave, in one of the HDMI ports that needs external power. The D-Tap version can take standard V-Mount, QRC- style Gold Mount, or Red/Blueshape plates. Each video output is independently reclocked for standard SD, HD and 3G SDI data rates and carries the same signal strength as the original. It
automatically bypasses non-standard SDI rates from 20Mbps to 3Gbps, and passes SDI embedded audio and ancillary data. LED indicators show status of power and signal. 11.E71
