PRODUCTION - BROADCAST

In designing Reporter 8LED, Sachtler´s new LED on-camera light, special emphasis was placed on durability, compactness and flexibility. The Reporter 8LED offers input voltage from 6 to 24 volts, making it ideal for use with a range of camera from small 7.2 volt (H)DV cameras to commonly-used broadcast camcorders. The luminaire deploys all the advantages of the latest LED technology: energy efficiency, the exceptionally long life of the LED chip, an extremely low failure rate, and minimal heat generation. A rigid, waterproof aluminium housing allows use of the Reporter 8LED in extreme shooting situations. The user can apply three different accessory sets to provide a wide range of light design solutions. The fixture can be also used as a small location light by placing it on a mounting base or on a mini croco clamp. Reporter 8LED is available in a daylight version. An exchangeable LED module makes it a simple matter to convert to a tungsten light. The luminaire’s standard flood optic lens can easily be exchanged for a medium optic lens after detaching the 4-leaf barndoor frame with quick-release mechanism. Key features: • Robust, unbreakable, waterproof, compact, small and light-weight • Aluminium housing allows for fast heat dissipation • Usage of one LED module (no multiple shadows) •

ROSS - Vision 1M, 2M, 2X

Iroquois, ON, Canada - January 18, 2008 – Ross Video today announced the introduction of 3 new production switcher control panels available before NAB 2008 - the Vision 1M, the Vision 2M, and the Vision 2X. The Vision 1M and 2M panels offer 24 crosspoint buttons and the Vision 2X offers 32 crosspoint buttons. This extends the award winning Ross Vision series to a total of 7 control panels including the V1, V1M, V2, V2M, V2X, V3, and V4. All of the control panels can control up to 4 MEs of video processing and connect to the Ross MD and MD-X Live Production Engine chassis.

The 3 RU MD chassis can have up to 2.5 MEs and 8 RU MD-X chassis can have up to 4 MEs. Both chassis are now available in SD-only and full Multi-Definition formats. Any configuration of either chassis can be connected to any of the Vision control panels.

“Since we already offer the broadest range of production switchers in the industry, we just made it even easier for our customers to get exactly what they need,” said David Ross, CEO, Ross Video. “The best part is that all seven control panels are shipping now and we have a trade-up program in place.”

The modular Vision control panels incorporate a large number of new concepts. The use of RGB buttons results in a stunning new look and allows personalization of the Vision control panel. Vision offers a new DualDisplay™ color touch screen allowing the operator to view and control two menus simultaneously. A long list of other enhancements including built-in manuals, Linux based OS, and integration with the OverDrive® control system makes the Vision control panel the most advanced on the market. Existing Synergy users will feel at ease using Vision while enjoying the supercharged new capabilities.
