I visited the SmallHD booth today to speak with CEO Wes Phillips about the new SmallHDR monitors, which they announced right before NAB. As Andy mentioned in his previous blog, the monitors come in three sizes: 17", 24", and 32".

Today I stopped by the Atomos booth to speak with Jeromy Young about their recently-announced Shogun and Ninja Flame recorders. As we mentioned in our previous TechByte, both these models feature the AtomHDR engine, but the Shogun Flame will accept SDI, RAW and HDMI signals, while the Ninja Flame will accept HDMI signals.

Recently, Canon's Ken Rowe stopped by our office to give us a sneak peek at two new products that will be debuting at NAB, the Compact-Servo 18-80mm zoom lens and their latest multi-purpose camera, the ME200S-SH.

Today SmallHD introduced their new line of SmallHDR monitors, which aren't that small at all. They have introduced three new HDR-capable monitors in sizes of 17, 24, and 32 inches. Each features a 1920x1080 10-bit LCD panel, dual SDI inputs and outputs, and HDMI in and out.

NAB is almost here, and once again there's a lot to get excited about. This year our booth is all about bringing you the best of the show in the form of booth tours, technical presentations, and more. To get things started, Andy, Jeff and Megan got together in our new Chicago Learning Point to discuss the trends to look out for at NAB 2016.

Fujifilm has announced their latest cine zoom lens, and the first in the new "XK" category, the Cabrio XK6x20.

Atomos has just announced their new Flame series of monitor/recorders featuring the AtomHDR engine. The Shogun Flame will accept SDI, RAW and HDMI signals while the Ninja Flame will accept HDMI signals.

Today Sony announced the new AXS-R7 Raw Recorder for the F5 & F55 cameras. The new AXS-R7 is a robust new dual-slot Raw recorder that enables recording up to 120 fps in 4K on the F55.

Panasonic has announced the new VariCam LT, the little brother to the VariCam 35. This new "Lite" VariCam incorporates the same Super 35 sensor and quality imaging of the VariCam 35, but with a much reduced size, weight, and price point. That means you get the same 14+ stops dynamic range capabilities in V-Log mode, wide color gamut, and dual ISOs of 800 & 5000.
