If you've ever browsed the Tools section of Arri's website, you've probably seen their ALEXA simulator, along with a number of other great resources. Well, here's some good news for those of you who are curious about the new AMIRA - Arri recently released the first version of their AMIRA simulator.

Convergent Design's Odyssey7Q is a versatile recorder/monitor that's a perfect match for the Canon C500. The Odyssey7Q acts as a great onboard monitor and is capable of recording multiple formats from multiple cameras, but when paired with the C500, it allows for 4K Raw, 2K and HD external recording. What's especially useful with this combo is the ability to record 4K Raw externally, while at the same time recording HD internally with matched filenames.

NAB is always full of exciting gear announcements and reveals, and this year was no different. Our specialists posted lots of great coverage from the show floor, which you can check out in our dedicated NAB 2014 category. Even if you didn't get a chance to attend, you can still get a feel for some of the show's highlights by checking out the videos below.

At their NAB booth this year, Zeiss showed off an interesting new option for their Compact Zoom line of lenses.

Alongside the AMIRA in our booth, we displayed another new accessory from Arri, the EMC-1 ENG Motor Controller. Designed to be used with ENG-type lenses such as the Fujinon Cabrios, this unit controls the focus, iris, and zoom motors, along with providing lens data that will be displayed on the WCU-4.

Fujinon announced the 25-300 as the newest member of the Cabrio family right before this year's NAB show. The lens is designed for 4K Super 35 sensors and, with a 12x zoom ratio and constant aperture of T3.5 from 25-273mm, is definitely meant to compliment the rest of the Cabrio family.

If you've stopped by our booth during this year's NAB show, you've probably noticed our great chart display. Along with our popular Resolution Analysis Chart, we're also showing off a brand new chart called the Matchmaker.

I visited the Miller booth to speak with Gus Harilou about their new Cineline 70 fluid head.

Back at last year's IBC show, Arri revealed their new AMIRA camera, and at NAB this year we are lucky enough to have one in our booth. Aimed at ENG and documentary productions, the AMIRA features a compact design and the same sensor found in the ALEXA.
