NewTek and Wowza Release MediaDS
By Jim Bask
Encoder offers NewTek proprietary IP inputs, world-class color correction, and an integrated Wowza Streaming Engine for live delivery.
First announced at IBC in Amsterdam last September, the NewTek/Wowza Media Systems MediaDS (Media Distribution System) is now available for immediate purchase. The MediaDS unit comes in a one rack-unit (1RU) form factor and is priced at $11,995.

At the CES show Atomos CEO Jeromy Young ran me through the functions of the Atomos Shogun Inferno recorder when combined with the new Panasonic GH5. The combination of GH5 and Inferno gives the option for 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 at 60P external ProRes recording from a prosumer mirrorless camera for the first time. Jeromy also confirmed that you also record 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 at 24,25 and 30P with the older Atomos 4K recorders.
