PD PROTOCOL PACKS CHARGE INTO SBU BATTERIES IDX Technology BY DAVID FOX
The SBU-PD battery range for Sony BP-U mount cameras has been released by IDX, allowing both charging and output to be done from the same socket (although not simultaneously). The range is fi tted with a USB-C socket that follows the USB-PD protocol. Previous SBU models used the more limited USB-A connection, but the PD I/O port gives these new batteries the ability to power a much wider
range of equipment. Robert Holland, UK Sales Manager, IDX, said: “The PD socket allows the 98Wh SD-U98/ PD to output 5v/3A, 9v/3A, 12v/3A, 15v/3A or 20v/2.5A power at up to 45W, while the 50Wh model, the SD-U50/PD, can output up to 30W at 5v/3A, 9v/3A, 12v/2.5A or 15v/2.5A.” The D-Tap outputs on the SB-U50/PD can deliver up to 35W, while the SB-U98/PD can handle up to 70W. The USB-PD socket can be used to charge the battery with one of IDX’s two lightweight, compact new

POCKET-SIZED REALITY IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND Pixotope
BY KEVIN EMMOTT
Norway’s Pixotope is aiming to change the game for virtual production education with the release of Pixotope Pocket. The iOS app enables students to create immersive content anywhere they can take their phone.
The app provides unfettered access to augmented reality (AR) and virtual studio (VS) tools and workfl ows without the need for a fully equipped studio; just a smartphone running the latest
iOS combined with a PC. Unlike traditional AR and VS workfl ows, the camera of the mobile phone is used to shoot footage while Pixotope Pocket takes care of the camera tracking. It does this by combining device motion tracking, camera scene capture, and advanced scene processing.
