SanDisk’s New Card Reader Dock is all I Could Ever Want and More

By Adam Noyes 0 Comment June 21, 2021

Western Digital, owner of the SanDisk brand, has announced a new product called the Pro-Dock 4, and it’s all I’ve ever wanted in a card reading solution: it lets you mix and match four card reading modules, which can all be read simultaneously, and connect them all to your computer using a single Thunderbolt 3 cable. This dock not only fills the hole that was left in my heart by Lexar’s Workflow hub, but it makes me completely forget it existed: the Workflow didn’t have Thunderbolt daisy-chaining or a 260W power supply for charging devices and accessories (though I will admit that Lexar’s SSD modules were kind of neat).

By Adam Noyes 0 Comment June 21, 2021

Another key benefit of the Auto Tracking software, said Richelson, is that it doesn’t get tired. “Auto Tracking doesn’t care that the shoot has already gone on for 10 hours or more where human effort starts to plummet,” Richelson added.

When to Ditch the Webcam

By Adam Noyes 0 Comment June 18, 2021

Many of us participate in video conferences several times a week, making the convenience of a webcam—as opposed to other options—paramount. I produce most of my live training with a webcam because the quality delta between a webcam and other options is negligible when presented in postage-stamp-sized videos. But what setup should you use for a really important conference or a call that will be distributed to many viewers live or on demand? That’s where things get interesting.

How to Produce Remote Interviews With Telestream Rendezvous in Wirecast 14.1

By Adam Noyes 0 Comment June 18, 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic brought the concept of remote production to the forefront for many producers. Although systems like Zoom and GoToWebinar provide an extensive range of functionality and ease of use, they lack customizability and the easy ability to syndicate to social media. In addition, the audio and video quality produced by these conferencing systems are often underwhelming, particularly for long-tail content that will hopefully outlive our memories of when in-person gatherings were illegal, inadvisable, or both.

Review of the Atomos true 10-bit 4K NEON 24″ Monitor/Recorder

By Adam Noyes 0 Comment June 11, 2021

The NEON takes a queue from the 19″ SUMO as it also has a recorder built-in; however, the NEON has a modular unit on the back called the “Master Control Unit.” It’s basically a screenless Ninja V that clicks onto the back of the monitor.
The NEON includes the AtomX SDI Xpansion module for SDI connectivity. HDMI is built into the Master Control Unit. This is the only way to connect with HDMI and SDI inputs. There are no other inputs on the actual monitor except power.

There’s a line in an online NDI promo video that says “harness the inevitable,” where every source also becomes a destination thanks to IP — unlike the linear source-destination topography of SDI.
