Welcome to the latest episode of our weekly roundup of news from the TV and film industry.
This week we are featuring Sony's new HDC-3200 - their latest HDR, 4k studio camera, Teradek's expansion of the Bolt 4k line with the Bolt 4K LT HDMI and Vinten's announcement of their new range of Osprey pedestals.
Sony HDC-3200
At NAB this year, Sony expanded their range of 4K HDR system cameras with a new HDC-3200 model. Designed as a more affordable version of the HDC-3500, the new 3200 model features a 2/3 inch 4K sensor design with a global shutter achieving an impressive signal-to-noise ratio, while eliminating the jello effect from fast moving objects. The new HDC 3200 camera is ready for HDR workflows with support for BT.2020 colour space, while compatibility with Sony's latest HDLA 3505 and 3501 large lens adaptors, various viewfinders and CCU's ensures even further flexibility for live productions be it sports events, or indoor LED wall studio use. Furthermore, the new 3200 model supports Sony's SR Live workflows and thanks to the optional CCU recording option, 4K video and audio can be recorded directly to the CCU without the need for an external recorder.
Teradek Bolt 4K LT HDMI
Also at NAB, wireless solutions specialist Teradek unveiled their latest addition to the Bolt 4K family. The new Bolt 4K LT HDMI is a new and more affordable latency-free wireless option for videographers and camera operators using HDMI based cameras. The system can transmit video signals up to 4K/30p resolution at up to 230 meters line of sight in addition to offering 10bit 4:2:2 HDR support and an HDMI loop-out on the receiver side. The new Bolt 4K LT HDMI comes also with improved metadata and range compared to previous models, while the cross-compatibility with the rest of the Bolt 4K family enables video to be sent to up to 6 receivers. In addition the transmitter offers multiple mounting points, while the built-in 256 bit encryption ensures the integrity of the transmitted signal.
Vinten Osprey
Industry leader in manual and robotic camera support systems Vinten has launched the Osprey pedestal series. The 2-stage pedestal range consists of five models including the Osprey Lite, Osprey Plus and Plus S models, the higher capacity Osprey Elite S supporting payloads of up to 35kgs, and the heavy duty Studio S model, which can support up to 80kgs. Optimised to enable camera operators to effortlessly move and precisely frame the shot, the Osprey 2 range delivers precision balance and optimal movement enabling cameras and prompters to be positioned with ease with a range of wheel options, full remote crab and steer modes or the ability to run on tracks. First deliveries are expected in late July.
