REMOTE GAINS FOR MINIATURISED CAMERAS Proton Camera Innovations BY DAVID FOX


Proton has introduced add-on hardware for its miniaturised cameras. The Proton Input/ Output Ethernet (PIO-E) unit offers enhanced camera management and remote access via IP and Bluetooth control to the full Proton camera range. It is lightweight (60g) and compact (at 22x27x60mm, or 66mm with Hirose connector) and provides 100Mbit Ethernet with PoE support. It converts IP or Bluetooth signals to the RS-485

protocol, allowing easy integration with legacy and modern systems. PIO-E is compatible with Cyanview’s systems and automatic


SLAM DUNK FOR STORAGE Quantum

StorNext is a collaborative, high- speed shared storage fi le system from Quantum that aims to increase workfl ow effi ciency and enable collaboration across remote teams. According to Quantum, StorNext scales performance and capacity for fast-paced post-production workfl ows while integrating high-performance storage with archiving and retrieval across tape, object storage, or cloud in a single end-to-end platform. The company is showcasing Miami Heat basketball team’s choice of Quantum products. With a rigid legacy system holding back workfl ows across animation, media production and creative


network discovery within Proton’s proprietary software, and enables remote camera control across multi-camera installations,


powering and managing multiple Proton units through a single interface. Power delivery of 12V/1A allows for streamlined cabling and confi guration, while Bluetooth integration adds further convenience for quick fi eld deployment, something that will be enhanced yet further with the addition of the forthcoming Proton Bluetooth applications. Also new is Proton Zoom, which adds remote-adjustable optical zoom to the miniature line-up, and the Proton HFR, with high- frame-rate global shutter capture at up to 240fps. 11.A04


JOINING UP REMOTE WORKFLOWS


services, the team needed a unifi ed, high-throughput storage product that could serve as a single reference point while supporting multiple broadcast teams. After a successful proof-of- concept, the team deployed the Quantum StorNext fi le system and QXS-Series storage as its primary production platform, enabling over 60 creators to collaborate, accelerate output and manage assets effi ciently. Blake Engman, Director of


Creative Services, Miami Heat, said: “Our existing storage platform had a very rigid workfl ow. But we had creative services, animation and media production departments that were using content in very distinct ways and wanted a platform that we knew, understood and could trust.” 7.A39

Quantum’s StorNext storage fi le system was chosen by Miami Heat


showcasing several innovations in its remote desktop software, including an advanced multi- join feature to allow multiple users to connect to and control remote computers simultaneously, without experiencing confl icts over mouse or keyboard access. The feature is designed to support a range of use cases for commercial users, says Remotly, citing the example of multiple developers or administrators taking control of the same machine to debug a


The multi-join feature allows multiple remote users to connect to and control computers


problem in real time. Another example could be participants in interactive technical workshops or hands-on training sessions who can interact concurrently with the desktop environment during a session, making remote learning more immersive and collaborative. Also on show is a new application isolation feature, to allow remote users to connect to a single application, while the physical host machine remains available for use by another user. There’s also a pay-as-you- go billing model that allows businesses to pay only for the actual usage of their remote desktop licences. 5.A23
