62 EROS SPREADS LOVE FOR VOLUMETRIC CAPTURE
Emergent Vision Technologies BY DAVID FOX
The new Eros camera family from Emergent Vision promises “high-performance imaging” for studios and system integrators “who need power in a compact, affordable package”. Eros is built around the 10GigE standard, delivering fast, uncompressed video with full GigE Vision compliance over standard Ethernet networks. What
sets it apart is its small form factor, very low power consumption and passive cooling – making it suitable for dense multicamera setups, embedded systems or portable studio environments. The cameras use Sony’s global shutter CMOS sensors and integrate with Emergent’s eCapture Pro software for synchronised multi-camera control, GPU-accelerated preview and direct-to-disk recording. The company believes Eros will appeal to budget-conscious volumetric stages, mocap
UHD CAMERA CUT DOWN TO SIZE

RØDE CALLME GETS IN TOUCH Vortex Communications BY KEVIN EMMOTT
A technology partnership between Vortex Communications and audio specialist RØDE is aiming to transform remote content creation. The integration of Vortex’s proprietary CallMe Codec into the RØDECaster Pro II and RØDECaster Duo audio production studios enables creators to experience ultra-low-latency, studio-quality
Ethernet. It can also deliver simultaneous downconversion of the full 3840x2160 UHD frame plus a 1920x1080 native cutout of the central area.
Gisbert Hochguertel, Ikegami
Europe Product Specialist, said: “The UHL-X40 offers many advantages in terms of operational effi ciency and versatility. It is similar in image quality and features to our latest generation Unicam XE studio camera series, allowing easy intercuts between these models. The UHL-X40 connects to its CCU-X40 control unit via up to 10km of duplex single-mode fi bre carrying the 4K/UHD camera signal plus the Gigabit-Ethernet Trunk Line. This makes it ideal for applications such as robotic studio operation, remote broadcasting of sports and stage events, and point-of-view video capture.” 12.A31
