BOX CAMERA BETTER ADAPTED TO IP WORKFLOW Sony BY DAVID FOX
Sony has signifi cantly updated its popular P50 box camera to make it more fl exible, adaptable and better suited to IP-based production. Shotaro Kosuge, Design Team Leader, said: “The original P50 only had SDI, but to satisfy various requirements for integration, the HDC-P50A also supports SMPTE ST 2110 IP transmission from the camera body. It can also be connected to a camera control unit (CCU), which gives it high-speed capability up to 8x for 1080p and

‘These headphones are designed to mimic a virtual, immersive sound system’
Genelec BY KEVIN EMMOTT
With the introduction of its 8550A Professional Reference Headphones at IBC, sound specialist Genelec has not only expanded the Unio ecosystem it introduced at IBC2023, but says it provides an “even more seamless bridge between professional in-room loudspeaker and personal headphone monitoring”. Dubbed as the Unio Personal Reference Monitoring Solution, the system combines the 9320A SAM Reference Controller, Reference Measurement Microphone, and the new 8550A Professional Reference Headphones. Paired with additional headphone calibration features available in Genelec’s GLM software and optional Aural ID V2.0 binaural headphone monitoring technology, the company says it
represents its most accurate and portable monitoring system ever. Under the tactile hardware control of the 9320A controller, the Unio ecosystem enables users to accurately translate mixes between monitors and headphones, while allowing the headphone output of the 9320A controller to adjust to an individual 8550A headphone factory calibration aims to mirror the tailored precision that Genelec Smart Active Monitors provide for in-room loudspeaker environments. Anders Nyman, Technical Support Manager, Genelec, said: “As part of the Unio system, these headphones are designed to mimic a virtual, immersive sound system. There has been a shift in how our customers are mixing content. While sound engineers are still working on their speaker systems, they are more often checking how it sounds on the headphones in the fi nal stages.” 8.A61,

It has a 2/3in 3-chip 4K image sensor with a global shutter (matching Sony’s HDC-3500 and HDC-5500 cameras) and can include a variable ND fi lter unit (HKC-VND50). It is suitable for hard-to-reach locations, aerial shots from helicopters, or for use with cranes and wire cams. When used with the CCUs or IP extension adapter, it benefi ts from long-distance connections (up to 10km using single-mode fi bre), for use in locations remote from the relay vehicle system, such as golf. 13.A10
PLAIN SPEAKING WITH MIMIR Fonn Group BY KEVIN EMMOTT
With the introduction of AI scene description to its cloud asset management software, cloud-native asset management company Mimir, part of the Fonn Group, is aiming to improve accuracy and speed up search times with automated, detailed and accurate scene description, natural language search, advanced sharing and quick cutting capabilities from archive to live. Mimir uses AI semantic search functionality to detect and describe scenes in a video asset, which according to Fonn Group’s EVP Operations Andre Torsvik, allows users to discover more related content as well as delivering rapid access to assets.
“Semantic searches cover all the associated metadata and everything in the database of assets as well as the query,” says Torsvik. “It is very different to the traditional way of searching an asset management system; our AI search analyses much more than the tags, meaning search results contain related content, helping you discover more material.” Leaning on semantic models enables scene descriptions to be automated, detailed and accurate, with semantic search capabilities allowing users to return results based on the meaning of a query and not on its exact wording. It means a query can combine abstract concepts, visual context and transcript-based content in a regular sentence in the searcher’s language. 7.D05
