SSL Mixing Boards @ NAB 2009

As always the NAB show brings out the best in audio and visual fidelity, so when one enters the North Hall where its all about the audio, you knew the Solid State Logic booth was going to be crowded.

With some of the most prolific and innovative products in history, this year SSL showcased their C100 Digital Broadcast Console, featuring a Blackrock processor system accompanied by the new B-RIO modular I/O rack, MORSE Stage Box and MORSE Router.



This means your processor sits in a standard 2U enclosure and comes with a quick release for the power supply. So if one happens to burn out (power surges do happen you know), you dont lose the entire board.

From the website...
“The development of the new technology in Blackrock and B-RIO enhances the robustness, flexibility and space efficiency of the C100,” says Dan Duffell, head of marketing for SSL. “The C100 HD-S Console is the operational interface for a completely scalable, expandable system that is custom configured to precisely match client requirement, and the introduction of Blackrock enhances our capability to deliver what our customers need now and over the coming years.”

The C100 Digital Broadcast Console, streamlined for NAB

Not to be outdone, the C300 HD Master Studio System for post production is another industry leader. It can come with up to 512 mix inputs, 7.1 multichannel formatting for the 80 mix busses, and touchscreen controls in the middle for the machine and the monitor. Only the best.

New 3ALITY DIGITAL 3D Camera @ NAB 2009

Burbank, CA based 3ALITY DIGITAL came out to NAB and displayed working models of their new "3flex" camera rigs used in making those 3D broadcasts Im sure you have all heard about. If you were at CES this year, you were treated to the first 3D broadcast available to consumers, and it was of the BCS Championship Game between Florida and Oklahoma. According to their press releases... "3flex camera systems use sophisticated artificial intelligence to sense the environment and ensure the highest image quality."

Impressive.

Here is more from a recent press release about the new camera rigs and other products from 3ALITY DIGITAL...

The 3flex product line will consist of three rig models:

TS-2 Camera Rig System: 3D camera rig with beam splitter. The TS-2 accommodates zero to six inch inter-axial distance and features a fully motorized 3D camera rig with fast setup. This rig enables zoom tracking during shots. It is constructed with a lightweight, rugged carbon fiber body and offers full metadata output.

TS-3 Camera Rig System: 3D camera rig with side-by-side camera arrangement that is lightweight for use in situations where handheld rigs are required. The TS-3 offers the same functionality as the TS-2 using 3ality Digital controller and can, if necessary, be easily positioned or mounted on any rig from Steadicam(TM) to flying camera systems such as Spydercam(TM) or Cablecam(TM).

TS-4 Camera Rig System: Versatile modular side-by-side camera system that will hold any camera and lens combination. The TS-4 is ideal for long-range shots such as vista views and stadium shots. The TS-4 offers the same ease of use, zoom tracking, metadata outputs and functionality as the TS-2.

"Each of these rigs has played an integral role in our groundbreaking live-action 3D projects, from U2 3D to the first-ever live digital 3D broadcast of an NFL game in December 2008," said Gary Ushino, head of 3ality Digital Systems' camera division. "The rigs incorporate easily into existing systems and deliver exceptional performance under a wide range of demanding conditions. The versatility and quality of the rigs enabled us to do an average of 40 setups a day - and as many as 47 - on the shoot of Chuck vs. The Third Dimension for NBC."
