Sony will have four areas at its BVE stand covering corporate and live event production, ENG (electronic news gathering) and EFP (electronic fi eld production), live production, and digital cinematography. The Earls Court exhibition centre will be the setting for the fi rst UK public showing of Sony’s new F65 (pictured below), as the manufacturer begins shipping the camera to UK dealers. Accord- ing to Sony Professional sales manager Dave Cheesman, 4K technology will be one of the key forces driving the industry this year.

CAMERA CORPS Stand B10
The UK launch of Camera Corp’s Q-Ball Pre-Set camera (pictured above) has been slated to take place at BVE. Camera Corps says the remotely controlled pan, tilt, zoom HD/SD device was developed in response to clients’ demands to be able to store and rapidly recall camera movement data.
