Why Shoot With ProRes Raw?

By Jim Bask 0 Comment August 24, 2018

In this video I attempt to show why I like shooting with ProRes Raw. There seems to be a lot of confusion as to what ProRes raw brings to the Sony PXW-FS5. It isn’t more dynamic range, more colour or better low light performance. What you get is more tonal values, more data, so your skin tones and other textures look more true to life and grade better.

A Simple Guide to Multi-Cam Live Streaming with Live:Air Action

By Jim Bask 0 Comment August 24, 2018

Live streaming doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, live streaming is being used more and more every year by individuals, businesses, organizations, and even governments for many purposes. Not only is it easier than ever before to go live (smartphones can do this with a click of a button), but there are a ton of tools out there to help you do it. All you need is content! Teradek’s Live:Air Action is one of those tools. In contrast to traditional hardware switchers, Live:Air Action is a software switcher for iPads that allows you to do things like add custom graphics, transitions, scoreboards, roll pre-recorded video and much more. Most importantly, this can all be done while live streaming directly from the iPad! It gives your live video a professional touch, similar to traditional live TV programs (news, sports, etc.).

By Jim Bask 0 Comment August 22, 2018

Sports is in our DNA. The idea for the cellular bonded solution was born after our COO & Co-Founder, Avi Cohen attended a soccer game in Israel. He saw first-hand how much effort was involved in broadcasting a live game – the SAT trucks and massive infrastructure needed, plus the amount of people on site and in the studio to capture and produce the game. At the same time, cellular infrastructure was changing with the introduction of 3G. What Avi quickly realized was how this cellular technology could impact the broadcasting community.

Using NDI® in Skype

By Jim Bask 0 Comment August 22, 2018

Microsoft Skype has released a new version (8.25 on Windows and Mac) that integrates NewTek’s NDI®, the royalty free bidirectional technology for IP transport of video, audio, metadata and communications using standard networks.

High-quality professional video cameras can replace lower resolution and low framerate webcams, allowing for a much better presentation for the caller, especially for applications such as guest expert on a broadcast news program.
