AJA have many products that support production and post including Kona cards, T Tap Pro and the powerful FS HDR supporting up, down, cross-conversion from 2K/HD/SD to 4K or UltraHD video and back over.

Introducing AJA ColorBox

As demand for 4K/UltraHD grows, and virtual sets introduce custom configurations, productions are working harder than ever to achieve consistent, colour-accurate looks from lens through to post. As Digital Image Technician (DIT) Jamie Metzger put it, “Staying on top of monitoring and data technology is a job in and of itself, but it’s important to find the time to discover tools that can make the job easier.”

One tool that’s helping Metzger and other production professionals keep pace with evolving colour management strategies on-set is AJA ColorBox. The portable, high-performance converter for colour-managed workflows supports low latency, in-line HDR/SDR algorithmic, and LUT colour transforms for live production, live event, in-studio, and on-set applications. Available since fall 2022, ColorBox is proving itself invaluable across a diverse range of environments as productions navigate new technology and workflows.

The Seagate Advantage for Media & Entertainment: Storage Solutions from Camera to Cloud

With the proliferation of streaming services, growing media viewership and content resolution growth across different devices, you need to constantly grow your content library to be relevant to demanding customers. Whether you are performing a complex post-production editing on on-prem infrastructure or distributing completed content through streaming/linear delivery, cost-effectiveness and unrestricted movement of data are critical.

However, the modern M&E industry is more often facing data management & cost challenges. With public cloud services you can face significant egress and API fees moving content from your content repositories to third party vendors and on-premises data centers and storage systems are limited by scalability and flexibility. This limits your opportunities to innovate and produce content and experiences to answer customer growing needs. On top of that, if your content gets damaged, stolen or is unavailable in any part of the supply chain – launches could be delayed, reputation is lost, and budgets won’t be met. Finally, once production is done, your tape and film archives might have constrained accessibility (e.g., for cataloguing, searching, sorting) and cause additional business overheard (e.g., equipment maintenance, vendor relationships, warehouse maintenance) … That’s is why a solid mass data storage infrastructure is important.

Democratizing Hyperscale Storage Architecture

Vertically integrated mass-capacity storage architectures that deliver extended efficiencies are imperative in today’s data economy and M&E industry is not an exception.
Seagate’s product range with more than 40-year storage heritage has culminated in a core technology stack that brings hyperscale cost and end to end architectural efficiencies to the enterprise across software, silicon, system, and device innovations. Accelerate adoption of these leading technologies as quickly as they’re available to give your business a competitive edge. Seagate Storage solutions were crafted to address the data management challenges from camera to cloud.

Now, you can freely access your in- and post-production media from any environment and achieve long term cost predictability, On Prem or Lyve Cloud content repositories with CAPEX or OPEX with no egress and API fees. Seagate offers block and object storage with superior Value. Seagate Storage Products help you to store protect and transfer valuable media assets across any environment (on-prem and cloud) wherever it is needed. Vertical integration with Seagate offers cost advantages and can help you reduce significant TCO when compared to solutions that aggregating other various storage providers. Furthermore, managed migration by Lyve Cloud supports hassle free onboarding of the data to cloud, provides easier and faster content retrieval, and enables high monetization potential through digitization of media that was stored on film.

Finally with Seagate there is no compromise on performance to meet your goals - reduce costs while keeping your media in a highly available (99.9% availability), super durable (> 11 9s), reliable and truly confidence inspiring combination of storage solutions.

Introducing the Sony BVM-HX3110
30.5-inch 4K TRIMASTER HX™ Professional Master Monitor at the Televisual Village Fete.

This is the first time the new unit has been seen in the UK ahead of shipping later this year.

Higher peak luminance and greater contrast ratio

As a 4K HDR master monitor, the BVM-HX3110 is designed for unparalleled colour fidelity. *Peak luminance has been increased to 4000 cd/m² while the black colour stays black. Colourists will see subtle details, delicate highlights and rich colours, even in areas of the image where details were previously lost, with deep blacks and smooth highlight roll-off.

Faster pixel response

Activated by an optional licence, the BVM-HX3110’s high-speed pixel response is perfect for live sports and music productions. Pan and tilt movements are displayed with less motion blur, while scrolling tickers are easier to read and check. The combination of rapid video response and high brightness make this display far clearer than existing OLED competitors.

Even wider viewing angles

Undertake monitoring work with more people, thanks to a wider viewing angle. Reviewing our optical display materials has allowed us to expand the viewing angle of our newest master monitor to 45°, without affecting the rich contrast ratio or high colour fidelity.
