IC Real Tech Publicly Launches ALLie Camera as the First 360-Degree Everyday Use Camera

IC Real Tech appoints photography and video industry veteran Mark Sherengo VP of sales and marketing for its ALLie Camera subsidiary

MIAMI and LAS VEGAS, April 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- (NAB Show) - IC Real Tech announced the hard launch of its new ALLie Camera, the world's only 360-degree everyday use camera with 24/7 viewing, recording, live streaming, still-capturing, social sharing and virtual reality (VR) viewing capabilities - allowing users to see it all, all the time, no matter where they are.

The ALLie Camera ensures consumers never miss any of life's most precious moments, whether they're home or not. Users simply plug in the device, open the ALLie app (iOS and Android) and swipe, zoom and pan on their phone or tablet to see what's going on and essentially be there when they're not. Unlike most cameras or home monitors that simply pan back and forth or up and down while showing a partial or fuzzy vantage point of a room, ALLie spurs a new breed of everyday use camera that ensures users get the full, quality picture with no blind spots, and complete control over what they view. They can even view with the included VR headset for a fully immersive experience.

The ALLie Camera not only provides peace-of-mind for those who want to see what's going on at home - it's also an ideal solution for video bloggers, sports arenas, music venues and others who want to give their fans or viewers complete freedom for how they see an event, allowing them to be there like never before. ALLie Camera enables users to bring moments to life including:

    --  Live streaming important events like birthday parties, graduations,
        weddings and more so remote family and friends across the globe can feel
        like they are actually there and even talk via the two-way microphone.
    --  Live streaming sports games, concerts and other events opening
        attractions to a worldwide audience in real-time or replay like never
        before.
    --  Video bloggers streaming commentary and events to their fans and
        followers in 360-degrees so they too feel like they are there with 4K
        resolution clarity.
    --  Never missing family moments like baby's first steps by always having
        the cameras rolling 24/7 with the ability to capture and store special
        moments for viewing or sharing socially later.
    --  Seeing what the dog or cat is getting into at home or at the kennel -
        even if they move out of a typical camera's field of view.
    --  Keeping an eye on elderly family members living at home or in a nursing
        home to give peace-of-mind.
"In this age of always-on connectivity, everyone wants 24/7 access to what's important to them, whether it's that birthday party you can't bear to miss, or a baby's first steps that you want to capture forever," said Dmitry Kozko, President of ALLie. "We worked hard to make the new ALLie Camera ideal for everyday use to fit any event or life milestone. And, the ability to capture a full, 360-degree view and completely control the way you see any special moment makes ALLie the most immersive way to make sure you never miss a thing."

In addition to the ALLie Camera launch, IC Real Tech announced that it has selected longtime industry veteran Mark Sherengo as VP of sales and marketing. Sherengo will lead sales and marketing for ALLie along will the company's distribution and business development initiatives to drive its leadership in the 360-degree technology space.

Sherengo comes to ALLie with over 20 years of executive experience with leading global photography and video companies like Ricoh, Pentax, Fuji and others. At Ricoh, he was director of sales and helped the company introduce the first ever 360 camera, Theta, to market. Prior to Ricoh, he spent 15 years in roles as director of sales and marketing for both Pentax and Fuji. Before that, he was a professional photographer and helped run the photo lab business for the NFL for more than a decade.

"In my experience as a professional photographer and working for decades across the photography and video hardware spaces, the one theme that's always resurfaced for both consumers and professionals has been the need to be ready to capture memories at any moment. ALLie Camera wins the innovation race when it comes to taking the 360-degree camera and making it an always on, everyday use camera so users never have to worry about missing a single thing," said Sherengo.

EHang Unveils New Models for Popular GHOSTDRONE 2.0

New Generation of Drones Brings Easy-to-Use Flight and Professional-Quality Filming to the Masses

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- EHang, a leading unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) manufacturer, today released two new versions of its popular GHOSTDRONE 2.0 drone: the GHOSTDRONE 2.0 Aerial bundle and the GHOSTDRONE 2.0 VR. The GHOSTDRONE 2.0 Aerial, known for its ease of flight and sleek design, now comes with a free, top-of-the-line 4K camera, allowing pilots of all skill levels to film professional-quality footage with the tap of a button in EHang's mobile app. And for an elite flying experience, the brand-new GHOSTDRONE 2.0 VR features an integrated 4K spherical camera and innovative virtual reality goggles, which consumers can use to see from their drone's perspective or change the camera angle, simply by tilting their head up or down. Combined with EHang's signature Tilt Control, which allows users to steer their drone simply by tilting their phone, the new GHOSTDRONE 2.0 is the closest users will get to experiencing flight firsthand.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160418/356298

The new GHOSTDRONE 2.0 models continue EHang's long-standing mission to bring safe, easy, enjoyable flight to the masses. From the first GHOSTDRONE to the world-renowned EHang 184 Autonomous Aerial Vehicle, EHang uses best-in-class engineering to design aerial vehicles that can be flown by everyday consumers, eschewing manual RC controllers for the more accessible mobile experience.

"We believe users are intimidated by the complexity of flying their first drone. But with our new VR goggles and 4K cameras, it's easier and more intuitive than ever to take to the skies," said Derrick Xiong, CMO of EHang. "These new models bring us one big step closer to our mission of making drone flight an easy, fun and user-friendly experience for everyone. Whether you're rafting in the Rockies or filming your kid's sports, the GHOSTDRONE 2.0 allows you to capture amazing moments with crystal clarity, and from a new perspective."

The GHOSTDRONE 2.0 Aerial and VR models combine accessibility with top-line engineering and design to take the flying experience to the next level. Features include:

    --  VR Goggles - EHang's proprietary VR goggles create an immersive flight
        experience like never before, allowing users to "see" out of the eyes of
        their drone with zero-latency. And with the goggles' innovative
        head-tracking feature, users intuitively control the camera angle of
        their drone simply via head movement.
    --  Tilt Control - The GHOSTDRONE 2.0's proprietary Tilt Control makes the
        complex process of navigating a drone intuitive and comfortable. Instead
        of using joysticks or a complicated RC controller, the GHOSTDRONE 2.0
        uses a smartphone's internal accelerometer and gyroscope to control the
        drone's flight -  simply tilt the phone in any direction, and the drone
        follows the pilot's lead. Drone pilots only need to download the EHang
        Play mobile app, compatible with both Apple and Android devices.
    --  Seamless, Professional-Grade Filming - New, gimbal-stabilized 4K cameras
        allow every pilot to easily shoot professional-quality aerial
        photography and filming without any blurriness or shaking. Recording is
        as easy as a tap of a button in EHang's mobile app, and the picture has
        never been clearer!
    --  Upgraded App - Connecting, flying, and recording with the GHOSTDRONE 2.0
        is easier than ever, thanks to key firmware updates in the EHang Play
        App, which offers a brand new user-friendly interface, improved G-Box
        connectivity, and smoother flight in Avatar Mode.
    --  Full-year replacement policy - The GHOSTDRONE 2.0 was designed with
        safety and durability in mind, but accidents happen. And they shouldn't
        be a barrier to new drone pilots learning the ropes. With the purchase
        of the G 2.0 Aerial and VR models, EHang consumers get a 12-month
        warranty guarantee and 24-hour customer service to make sure they get
        back in the air as quickly as possible.
Both the Aerial and VR models are available for purchase at Fry's and Amazon, or online via the EHang website for $599 and $1099 respectively. The VR goggles can also be purchased separately as an accessory for $349.

IneoQuest Delivers Proactive Approach to Quality of Service Monitoring for OTT/Multiscreen Content

Surveyor ABR Active Provides Preventative Approach to Eliminating the Risk of Poor Playback

BOSTON, April 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- IneoQuest Technologies, the global leader in video quality and audience behavioral intelligence solutions, today announced the release of Surveyor ABR Active, a proactive video quality monitoring solution that verifies video content is continuously available, in every bitrate and format. Acting as a video provider's most critical viewer, Surveyor ABR Active monitors and measures video flows 24/7 and issues alerts when content is not playing at its specified quality.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160418/356359LOGO

According to a recent study from Pew Research, cord-cutting is on the rise - 24 percent of all American adults do not subscribe to cable or satellite TV service, and research from Field Agent found that 39 percent of Millennials identify themselves as "cord-cutters." As more consumers move away from traditional TV services, a proactive approach to video quality assurance is essential. Surveyor ABR Active simultaneously measures all of the bitrates of multiple programs at different points in the video delivery chain, enabling content providers to identify availability and quality weaknesses and diagnose root causes, often before viewers are impacted.

"Verifying the quality and availability of multiscreen/OTT video is a complex challenge. Today, viewers have more competitive OTT options than ever before, and with more than half of consumers experiencing Buffer Rage when content stalls, there is low tolerance for providers delivering videos that are pixelated, slow to start or buffer mid-program," said Matthew Driscoll, Product Management Director, IneoQuest. "Surveyor ABR Active helps to eliminate the risk of churn and moves the industry beyond reactive approaches to proactive quality assurance monitoring."

Surveyor ABR Active leverages "client emulation" technology to run automated, synthetic testing - on up to 500 adaptive bitrate streaming sessions simultaneously. Simply point Surveyor ABR Active at the content you want to monitor, and it "plays" the video to measure key performance indicators (KPIs). This testing is complementary to client-based monitoring solutions, such as IneoQuest's AMP/Spectator(TM) offering, which leverage software in the playback device to monitor a viewer's quality and their associated responses in real time. Key product features include:

    --  Content availability measured for each bitrate stream of a program to
        identify issues before customer impact
    --  Patented VeriStream metric provides stream QoS "at a glance"
    --  Real-time streaming error notification with customized threshold
        configuration
    --  Monitoring profiles to differentiate stream prioritization
    --  Stream forwarding for visual video inspection and
        Inspector(TM)-supported deeper content analysis
    --  Full packet capture based on trigger events
Surveyor ABR Active is available on a server-based appliance or can be deployed in a virtualized environment with scalable stream licensing, allowing your virtual solutions to scale with your demands as needed. Multiple Surveyor products can be combined with other IneoQuest FoQus(TM) Platform elements for a comprehensive end-to-end video assurance solution.

VideoBlocks Enters New Digital Media Frontier with Launch of Virtual Reality Content for the Mass Creative Class

VideoBlocks Becomes the First Stock Media Company to Add 2D and 3D Virtual Reality, 360-Degree Video to their Robust Content Library

RESTON, Va., April 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- VideoBlocks, the first membership-based provider of stock video, today announced the launch of the industry's first 2D and 3D virtual reality, 360-degree video content for the mass creative class and creators around the world. The newly launched content will be available in VideoBlocks' Unlimited Library and contributor-friendly marketplace. Members will be able to experience the videos in a full 360-degree sphere, through a player on the VideoBlocks website. The footage has been fully stitched together and ready for download and use by the ever-growing mass creative class, from hobbyists to professionals alike.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160412/354384LOGO

VideoBlocks was the first to make 4K stock video accessible to the mass market seven years ago, before any industry powerhouses got on board. With this new extension into the world of virtual reality, VideoBlocks now provides an avenue for contributors of all capacities to upload a variety of 360 degree video, including both monoscopic and stereoscopic 3D video clips, to be sold on the VideoBlocks marketplace. The VideoBlocks team is also producing its own high impact original 3D stereoscopic 360-degree footage, for release in the unlimited library.

"We're doing with virtual reality what we did with 4K seven years ago, and we're doing it at an affordable and fair price that benefits the entire ecosystem, on all levels," said Joel Holland, Founder and Executive Chairman of VideoBlocks. "The stock media and video production industries are continuing to evolve every day, and with this addition, VideoBlocks continues to be at the forefront of the industry as a trusted platform for the mass creative class to explore new ways of creating, which in this case, is virtual reality."

Consistent with past expansions to the company's marketplace, contributors will receive 100% commission on all of the footage they sell through VideoBlocks.

MBX Introduces Reference Platforms for Next-Gen Video Server Systems

High-Performance Designs Include Support for 4K 3D Video; NAB Booth #SL13705

LAS VEGAS, April 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading server appliance manufacturer MBX Systems today announced the development of new reference platforms for next-generation video applications requiring extreme speed and storage performance, including delivery of 4K 3D video. The new reference designs can be adapted to any size base server, fully customized for each customer, and used to create powerhouse hardware solutions for applications ranging from post-production processing to video content creation and content delivery networks (CDNs).

The new designs combine the latest NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) SSDs with and without 3D NAND flash, helium drives, Intel Xeon v4 Broadwell-Ep processors and other technologies to support today's increasingly demanding video workloads, while also providing ample expansion space and a price/performance ratio that fits the budgets of ISVs and service providers.

Components include Seagate Nytro XF1440/ XM1440, Intel DC P3500/P3600/P3700 or Samsung 850/863/950/951 NVMe drives featuring ultra-fast read speeds up to 2500 MzHzHHB/s per drive; Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 processors boasting 2400 MHz frequencies, Intel Turbo Boost Technology, and up to 22 cores and 44 threads per socket enabling 8% faster memory performance and a 24% improvement in other operations over predecessor solutions; Intel Visual Compute Accelerators for lightning-fast video encoding and 4K video handling; and more.

Proof of Concept
MBX has already utilized these technologies to engineer a custom video server system for a leading content provider with exceptionally complex hardware needs. No other appliance builder was able to develop a working configuration that fulfilled the customer's requirements.

"As content volumes continue to grow and newer technologies like 360-degree 4K video take hold, hardware must deliver new performance benchmarks ranging from faster transfer speeds and higher IOPS to bigger storage capacity," said Bill Conrades, Technical Sales Engineer at MBX Systems. "Our new reference designs push the envelope to give ISVs and service providers the most robust solutions available today for collaborative editing, transcoding, video streaming, and any number of other video applications." 

Complete Hardware Program Management
MBX's new reference platform designs join a full range of support services, including software imaging, branding, reverse and international logistics, component lifecycle management, and packaging each finished system with the customer's choice of accessories for easy installation at the end user site. These services relieve customers of hardware program responsibilities and allow them to concentrate on developing their core business offerings.

Other benefits for ISVs and service providers include a plug-and-play production environment that eliminates the need to rent and furnish dedicated floor space or spend weeks creating the software image, testing and configuration package; simultaneous configuration of 600+ units through advanced automation and a proprietary Super Cell setup that accelerate final assembly and order fulfillment for larger batch sizes; and integration with customer systems through MBX's REST API, enabling remote completion of configuration tasks running outside the MBX environment.

MBX maintains strategic OEM relationships with top-tier manufacturers including Intel, HP Enterprise, Supermicro, Seagate, LSI/Avago, Micron, and Adaptec, providing hardware-agnostic platform development that can help optimize the performance of each customer system.

MBX will be exhibiting at Booth #SL13705 at the NAB Show running April 18-21 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

About MBX Systems
MBX Systems is a leading designer and manufacturer of application-optimized server appliances and cloud-ready solutions for ISVs and service providers worldwide.

DJI Brings Micro Four-Thirds Imagery Back to Earth with the Osmo RAW

New accessories enhance imaging, stabilization and power-management

LAS VEGAS, April 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- DJI, the world's leading aerial imagery company, Sunday announced it will offer its best-in-class Micro Four-Thirds Zenmuse X5R camera for use with the Osmo, the imaging stabilization system that has transformed handheld photography and video.

The new system, known as the Osmo RAW, uses the same technology DJI launched last month on the Inspire 1 RAW aerial to bring unmatched cinematic-quality stabilized video to the skies.

"When we launched the Osmo, we reimagined motion," said Senior Product Manager Paul Pan. "With the DJI Osmo RAW, we've gone even further. Now, creators and filmmakers will no longer have to choose between image quality and image stability, no matter from what perspective they're shooting."

The X5R will attach to the Osmo handle via an adaptor and store video on a removable 512GB solid-state drive. Gimbal motors will ensure image stability on three axes, with pan and tilt functions accessible either by using the Osmo's thumb stick or through the DJI GO app. Users can also control the X5R's focus and aperture inside the iOS or Android app or using an optional DJI Focus unit.

The X5R is the world's smallest, lossless 4K camera optimized for aerial imaging. It has 12.8 stops of dynamic range, an ISO range from 100 to 25,600, and a still-image resolution of 16 megapixels. The X5R features interchangeable lens options, with video bitrates averaging 1.7Gbps, with a maximum of 2.4Gbps. The X5R records CinemaDNG files and offers a new D-LOG mode with a broader array of color correction options in post production.

Also available for the Osmo system is the Micro Four-Thirds X5 camera and gimbal, called the Osmo Pro. It uses the same adaptor as the X5R, providing superior, stabilized video and top-quality photo imagery.

Pricing and availability of the Osmo Pro and Osmo RAW will be announced shortly.

Osmo users with the Zenmuse X3 camera also will soon have complete stabilization capability with the launch of the Z-Axis. The $129 attachment, which mounts between the X3 camera and the Osmo handle provides full stabilization along the fourth (vertical) axis, giving it the same capabilities as much more expensive Steadicam rigs. The Z-Axis features a shock absorber, a tilt angle adjust button and a knob to control the spring tension needed on the fourth axis.

DJI is also introducing two new power-management solutions for power users of the Osmo, including a higher-capacity battery that offers up to 96 minutes of shooting time at 4K resolution, an increase from up to 66 minutes using the standard Osmo battery. With the Osmo Pro, shooting time with the higher-capacity battery is up to 78 minutes, compared with up to 60 minutes with the original Osmo battery. Shooting time on the Osmo RAW is up to 37 minutes with the new, higher-capacity battery and up to 26 minutes with the original Osmo battery.

Users can charge their batteries with the standard Osmo charger or use an optional intelligent four-battery charger that will fully charge both original and higher-capacity batteries simultaneously. Four higher-capacity Osmo batteries will charge fully in around 120 minutes.

Using DJI's new, extended battery means even more shooting time with the Osmo. This solution is ideal for video journalists, photographers and filmmakers who spend hours in the field and filmmakers who require multiple takes of a scene or who set a rigorous full-day production schedule.

The battery-shaped power adaptor fits into the Osmo handle and connects to either a dedicated DJI power charger or a DJI Intelligent Battery. It supports five different DJI AC charger units, three models of DJI car chargers and six varieties of DJI drone and Ronin batteries that offer shooting times up to 14 hours on the Osmo, up to 11.7 hours on the Osmo Pro and just under five-and-a-half hours for the Osmo RAW. Shooting times will differ, depending on the type of battery used.

DJI Introduces Next-Generation Matrice 600 Aerial Platform

New M600, A3 flight controller and Ronin-MX offer unprecedented professional imaging capability

LAS VEGAS, April 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- DJI on Sunday introduced the Matrice 600, its next-generation aerial platform, marking a new era for professional aerial photography, filmmaking and industrial applications.

The M600 integrates DJI's brand-new A3 flight controller onboard and features advanced Lightbridge 2 video-transmission technology that offers high frame rates and HD live-streaming capability at distances up to five kilometers.

"The M600 is the most-powerful and easiest-to-use professional platform DJI has ever produced," said Senior Product Manager Paul Pan. "We've pre-programmed all M600 platform data and information into the A3 flight controller, remote and transmission system to minimize setup and get you flying as quickly as possible."

The M600 is a six-rotor system with a maximum payload of 6.0 kilograms, making it ideal for the full range of DJI's Zenmuse gimbals, including the Z15 series and the Zenmuse X series cameras, which are unmatched in providing stabilized aerial imagery. The M600's carrying weight also allows it to fly the Ronin MX, DJI's newest handheld and aerial three-axis gimbal. The M600's propulsion system is dustproof to simplify maintenance and increase durability. It has actively cooled motors for more-reliable flight, and its landing gear is retractable for full 360-degree, unobstructed imaging.

The M600 is powered by six DJI Intelligent Batteries. The customized battery-management system and power distribution board allow all six batteries to be turned on and off with the push of one button and keep the system aloft, should a single battery fail. The M600 will fly up to 36 minutes with a Zenmuse X5 camera attached and up to 16 minutes with a larger camera, such as a RED EPIC. Flight time will vary for different cameras, gimbals and a number of other conditions.

Integrated A3 Flight Controller

Setting the M600 apart is its integrated A3 flight controller. It uses sine-wave-driven, intelligent electronic speed controllers to ensure the M600 performs accurately, safely and efficiently. Meanwhile, self-adaptive flight systems adjust parameters automatically, based on different payloads.

It's upgradable to the A3 PRO system, which features advanced diagnostic algorithms that compare sensor data from three Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) units and three inertial measurement units.

The A3's GNSS system can also be optionally upgraded to DJI Real-Time Kinematic technology, offering centimeter-accurate positioning to allow for complex maneuvers in an industrial setting and so that cinematic shots can be precisely replicated. The RTK technology can also withstand magnetic interference.

The M600 supports the DJI GO app, which includes a live video feed, battery and redundancy status, transmission strength and other data to keep the user informed of flight status at all times. The app also provides access to aperture, shutter speed, photo and video capture on any Zenmuse X-series camera, plus remote focus on the Zenmuse X5 and X5R cameras.

The M600 is a top-quality development platform, compatible with the DJI Onboard Software Development Kit and Mobile SDK to work with different industrial applications. It has dual parallel CAN and API ports for connecting DJI devices, including the Guidance sensor system, RTK GPS units or third-party components.

The M600's retail price, including the integrated A3 flight controller with Lightbridge 2 and a full set of batteries, is $4,599.

Works Seamlessly with Ronin-MX

When paired with the new DJI Ronin-MX, the M600 offers best-in-class three-axis aerial video stabilization. The latest in the Ronin line is also the most-versatile, working both on the ground and in the air with minimal setup.

The Ronin-MX works perfectly with the M600, as a fully integrated system that includes the A3 flight controller, Lightbridge 2 transmission system and gimbal in the air. It's the first universal aerial gimbal DJI has made that communicates with the onboard DJI flight controller.

It's fully compatible with a rich selection of DJI accessories for long-distance focus and aperture control and features remote start/stop controls and video transmission. The Ronin-MX is built for convenient, handheld use, but it also has multiple operation modes, including underslung, upright and briefcase. Apart from the M600, it's also compatible with video cranes.

"For film directors, the M600 is a game-changer. There are other options out there, but none that integrate a top-class flight controller, video-transmission system like Lightbridge 2 and support for a wide range of cameras and gimbals," said DJI Executive Creative Director Sheldon Schwartz. "If you go with the new Ronin-MX on the M600, you'll be surprised at how easy it is to get unparalleled stability and cinematic-quality shots."

The Ronin-MX has a built-in, independent IMU module, a Bluetooth module and a 2.4GHz receiver. It operates through the DJI GO app and has settings for SmoothTrack and gimbal-tuning for various cameras, including some of the RED series, DSLRs and other professional camera. It also operates in multiple modes, including aerial and car mount.                                                                       

Mounted on the M600, the Ronin-MX's CANBUS port allows all flight controller data to pass through to the Ronin-MX, meaning the gimbal is positionally aware and able to keep the horizon level. The Ronin-MX can pan 360 degrees, tilt +45 to -135 degrees and has redundant slip rings, offering enhanced reliability for operators. With an optional accessory, the Ronin-MX can transmit video real-time from a mounted camera, making full use of the M600's Lightbridge 2 capabilities. It will also be compatible with the DJI Focus, through a wireless adapter mounted to the Focus remote.

The Ronin-MX is powered by a 4S Ronin-M battery. Third-party cameras mounted on the Ronin MX can be powered by an optional onboard DJI battery.

The Ronin MX is compatible with a wide range of cameras from Arri, Black Magic, Canon, Panasonic, RED, Sony and Nikon. Its maximum load weight is around 4.5 kilograms.

The Ronin MX retails for $1,599. Bundled with the M600 and integrated A3 flight controller and Lightbridge 2, it will sell for $5,999.

Sony Goes Beyond Definition at NAB 2016

Professional A/V Technologies for Production at All Levels - Imaging, HD, 4K, High Dynamic Range, IP transmission and Storage

LAS VEGAS, April 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- NAB Show, Booth C11001 -- At NAB 2016, Sony is showcasing new technologies and workflows for HD, 4K, high dynamic range, storage and IP, providing the tools to drive professionals' creativity. Sony's exhibit will feature new models and updates to widely used products -- camcorders, cameras, monitors, switchers, storage/archiving, and wireless transmission for broadcast, production, sports, live events and more.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20140206/LA60150LOGO

"Sony's goal is to create and deliver the best possible tools for professionals -- from HD to 4K to HDR and everything in between," said Deon LeCointe, Senior Manager, Sports and IP Solutions, Sony Electronics.  "At our NAB exhibit we will be highlighting our most popular and proven models, alongside the latest new advancements, so a trip to our booth will be a one-stop shop showcasing a wide range of products, solutions and services to meet our customers' diverse needs."

At NAB, Sony will highlight its comprehensive and growing line of cameras, with 4K available at every level from full-frame interchangeable lens cameras and compact professional camcorders to high frame rate, high dynamic range studio and motion picture cameras.

Cameras and camcorders

Sony cameras are used in every production genre at every budget level: feature films, news, documentary, episodic television, sports, commercials, OTT and more.

Sony's new HDC-4800 camera system combines 4K resolution with enhanced high frame rate capabilities -- 8x at 4K, and up to 16x in full HD. This power is combined with HD cut-out and zoom capabilities for sports and live event production. The new HDC-4800 is complemented by the BPU-4800 combination baseband processor unit/replay server creating a fully networked, 4K live ultra-high speed production workflow.

The HDC-4800 uses a new Super 35mm 4K CMOS sensor and wide color space (BT.2020 and BT.709).  It supports PL mount lenses to capture high resolution, crisp images for live sports shooting.  HDR support is under development and will be available in the near future.

Sony also delivers 4K through its XDCAM family.  The newest addition to the XDCAM shoulder-mount camcorder lineup, PXW-Z450, captures 4K (3840 x 2160) picture quality from a new 2/3-type Exmor R(TM) CMOS sensor, with exceptional weight balance and low power consumption alongside networking features.  Another addition is the PXW-Z150 with 1.0-type sensor that delivers low-light performance and networking features for fast turn-around workflows.

IP

Sony is enhancing its fully interoperable IP Live Production system with Networked Media Interface (NMI). The new suite of solutions has been developed to help broadcasters make the most of IP technology, allowing them to deliver on the increasing demand for 4K live content while addressing the cost and scalability issues associated with conventional SDI live production workflows.

Sony will be demonstrating its continued commitment to delivering IP interoperability among a wide range of compatible live production products through its IP Live Alliance. The Alliance has, with the recent participation of Grass Valley, now grown to 49 vendors across the live production space, and support is continuing to grow as more broadcasters adopt IP Live.

Storage

Sony is unveiling the second generation of its Optical Disc Archive System which adopts new, high-capacity optical media developed jointly by Sony and Panasonic.  This affordable new media is rated with a 100 year shelf life and doubles the capacity of a single cartridge to 3.3 TB.  The Generation 2 Optical Disc Archive System also introduces an 8-channel optical drive unit, doubling the read/write speeds of the previous generation, helping to meet the data needs of real-time 4K production.

Optical Disc Archive technology is designed for use as a near-line, deep archive storage or disaster recovery systems, ranging from large scalable robotics down to stand-alone archive systems. Sony is also embracing an open platform approach for broad compatibility, providing technologies and support to encourage other manufacturers to develop complementary products for the technology.  Currently, 42 companies have announced their support for Optical Disc Archive.

High Dynamic Range

At NAB 2015, Sony introduced its first 4K OLED reference monitor for critical viewing - the BVM-X300. Already, it's become the de facto reference standard for 4K and HDR grading.

This year, Sony adds a new monitor - the PVM-X550, a 55-inch, OLED panel with 12-bit signal processing, perfect for client viewing. The TRIMASTER EL(TM) PVM-X550 supports HDR through various Electro-Optical Transfer Functions (EOTF), such as S-Log3, SMPTE ST.2084 and Hybrid Log-Gamma, covering applications for both cinematography and broadcast.  The PVM-X550 is a quad-view OLED monitor, which allows customized individual display settings across four distinct views in HD. It is equipped with the same signal-processing engine as the BVM-X300, providing a 12-bit output signal for picture accuracy and consistency. It also supports industry standard color spaces including the wider ITU-R BT.2020 for Ultra High Definition.

Technology Upgrades

Sony is helping customers extend the life of their current Sony technologies by continually introducing new upgrades, enabling new features and performance. These include:

    --  BVM-X300 -- update for support of both Hybrid Log-Gamma formats, safe
        and aspect markers, XYZ color modulation and 1.5G dual link inputs.
    --  F55 - version 8 adds support for XAVC 4K class 480, for professionals
        that need higher quality picture performance
    --  FS7 -- adds center crop functionality, a feature traditionally found on
        higher-end models like the F55, flexible spot focus and true 24P.
    --  FS5 -- adding RAW external recording and auto variable ND filters, among
        several other features
Rounding out the total workflow for professionals, Sony's NAB 2016 exhibit also highlights new wireless microphone systems with enhanced diversity features, solutions for media asset management, and more, across its entire product line. These include:

HXC-FB75 Camera -- A successor model to Sony's HXC-D70, the HXC-FB75 is a cost-effective entry level studio camera. No camera adapter is required for fiber transmission to the CCU, and Sony's HDVF interface enables smoother and sharper focusing.  The lens, viewfinder and microphone packaged model is available in addition to the camera body only model.

XVS Series Switchers, XVS-7000, XVS-6000 -- In response to the growing demand for 4K production and IP interfaces, Sony is adding to its multi-format switcher line-up. Joining the XVS-8000, the new switchers create a family of 4K/IP professional production switcher systems. The XVS Series inherits versatile features from Sony's widely used MVS Series of switchers including enhanced frame memory, format conversion, multi-viewer capabilities, and a range of input and output video formats. The XVS Series also supports HDR imaging. Users can configure SDI and IP option boards in a single processor. This XVS family offers smooth migration from SDI to IP, from HD to 4K.

    --  XVS-7000 supports: In HD, 6ME operation with 112 inputs; in 4K, 3ME
        operations with 28 inputs
    --  XVS-6000 supports: In HD, 4ME operation with 48 inputs; in 4K, 2ME
        operation with 12 inputs
XDCAM Air - Sony's XDCAM technology is a standard for ENG and field production, evolving from optical disc to file-based workflows. Sony is developing new wireless workflows to support the current requirements of news production, using 4G/LTE networks for media delivery. XDCAM Air is a cloud-based ENG service that integrates existing Sony wireless solutions and adds new features such as a mobile application, live streaming edit integration with NLE and enhanced remote control capabilities.

New UWP-D Wireless Microphone System - Sony's URX-P03D is the first 2-channel portable receiver in its UWP-D series, eliminating the need to attach two receivers on a camcorder, especially smaller models, making them unbalanced and unwieldy.  The URX-P03D receiver supports an external input for an additional wired microphone, such as Sony's BMP type lavalier microphones or conventional plug-in-power supported microphones. 3-channel mixer functionality is included for blending audio signals in the receiver. A new 2-channel version of Sony's Multi Interface (MI) shoe adaptor - model SMAD-P3D is available for the URX-P03D.

LMD-B170 - a 17-inch, lightweight, compact Full HD LCD monitor, incorporating features and designs from Sony's PVM-A Series OLED and LMD-A Series LCD picture monitors to give users a familiar interface, especially when using multiple series of monitors. The LMD-B170 can be wall-mounted for in-house use or used as a field monitor. Interfaces include SDI, HDMI and composite video with stereo analog audio as standard. The monitor also has 2W+2W front stereo speakers, more powerful than a monaural speaker or a rear speaker system.

"The innovations showcased at EuroCucina reflect Whirlpool Corporation's global approach to consumer- centric innovation," said Subho Moulik, Head of Global Innovation for Whirlpool Corporation. "Through surveys and interviews conducted with more than 3,000 households across the EMEA region, we gathered important insights into the relationship between cooking and food for home cooks, and what features we need to bring to their kitchens as that relationship evolves. It's that type of purposeful innovation that we're proud to be sharing this week in Milan."

Whirlpool Corporation is showcasing appliances across all brands that represent the latest trends in home kitchen innovation and design. These trends include:

    --  Connected Home & Smart Appliances: Internet-connected appliances are
        beginning to interact more closely and intelligently with users,
        learning their habits and helping them accomplish tasks more
        efficiently. Appliances on display from Whirlpool Corporation brands
        offer these interactions, with intuitive touch interfaces that guide
        home cooks through each step of their food preparation.
    --  Growing Culinary Exploration & Ambition among Home Cooks: According to
        the Hotpoint Taste Exploration Survey 2016, food preparation is becoming
        increasingly associated with the pursuit of pleasure. Cooking is valued
        as a form of self-expression and with that, consumers now want
        appliances that are flexible enough to allow greater experimentation in
        the kitchen and feature functions that enhance the enjoyment of cooking.
    --  More Efficiencies & Conveniences for Families: Intuition and ease-of-use
        are two important attributes families seek in their appliances.
        According to the Whirlpool brand SmartCook survey, in response to the
        pressures of modern life consumers are focusing more on making and
        taking the time to enjoy the present, and explore in greater depth the
        possibilities of one's own life - maximizing every aspect of today.
New products being presented at EuroCucina include SmartCook induction cooktops from Whirlpool brand, which offer an innovative assisted-cooking experience.

Argon Design launches real-time video stitching IP

CAMBRIDGE, England, April 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Argon Design Ltd, a design services company specialising in digital video, is launching Argon360, a unique hardware-based real time video stitching technology, at the NAB Show in Las Vegas, 18-21 April 2016.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160415/355924

The prominence of 360-degree panoramic video (often termed immersive video or Cinematic VR) is increasing with users at all levels from consumer to film studio and there is now a high level of interest and support from companies such as Google and Facebook. Stitching of the video output from multiple image sensors is a crucial element in the capture of 360-degree panoramic content and doing this complex processing in real-time is essential for applications such a live streaming of sporting events or news. Real time stitching will be increasingly desirable for consumer products, where users increasingly expect live streaming capability for social media and the simplicity of a single output video file for upload to sites such as YouTube.

Using scalable hardware based technology, Argon360 offers a unique combination of high quality stitching in real time, with the additional benefits of compact form factor and low power consumption. The patent pending Argon360 technology is available as an IP core building block for incorporation into an ASIC, offering the ultimate in performance for volume produced products. It is also available for FPGA implementations, suitable for lower volume products.

Steve Barlow, CTO of Argon Design explained: "Argon360 is the culmination of a series of internal research projects which started with the investigation of topics including simultaneous location and mapping (SLAM) and stereo depth perception techniques. We recognised that some of the ideas we had used in those research projects could be applied to correcting parallax artefacts that can present major challenges when stitching video from multiple cameras."

Clifford Dive, Argon's VP of Business Development continued: "Market research indicated a number of excellent software-based stitching solutions for use in post-production, but also an unsatisfied demand for a high performance real-time solution. After considering a number of approaches, we concluded that a hardware-based design would have the performance and scalability required to address a broad range of market needs for panoramic video, from live broadcast to consumer action cameras."
