Handle Both Photo and Video with Canon's RF 35mm f/1.4 L VCM Hybrid Lens https://ift.tt/LftKoNu If you were a fan of the Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM lens then, well, we have very good news for you. Canon is doubling down on one of its more popular lens options and has announced an RF version with the new RF 35mm f/1.4L VCM. Which, as Canon seems to be aiming it, is very much positioned to be a popular hybrid lens for both photo and video pros alike. Let’s take a look at this new 35mm lens and how its new (and lighter) design should pair well with its solid specs and useability features to be a potential go-to lens for a variety of your shooting needs. Introducing the Canon RF 35mm f/1.4 L VCM While we say hybrid lens here quite a bit, make no mistake, this new RF lens from Canon has truly been designed with high-end cinema video needs in mind. The Canon RF 35mm f/1.4L VCM Lens is a wide-angle L-series hybrid prime featuring an ultra-fast f/1.4 maximum aperture to suit working in a variety of challenging and difficult lighting conditions. This upgraded version of its EF counterpart also features a Voice Coil Motor (VCM) for fast floating rear focus and a Nano USM for quick and quiet floating autofocus performance. Its optical design incorporates specially developed elements as well that help to nearly eliminate chromatic aberrations and color fringing for notable clarity and color accuracy. The lens still features two ultra-low dispersion elements and two aspherical elements are also featured to further control various aberrations and distortion for great sharpness and resolution. Price and Availability Overall, this new RF 35mm f/1.4 L VCM should be reliable and versatile with its durable physical construction is dust—and moisture-sealed with ASC (Air Sphere Coating), SSC (Super Spectra Coating), and Fluorine coatings for use in any environment and to prevent ghosting and flares. Here are the full specs and pre-order options: Full-Frame Format | f/1.4 to f/16 Extremely Fast Design, Advanced Optics Voice Coil Motor (VCM) for Rear Focus Nano USM for Fast Floating Autofocus Manual Iris/Full-Time Focus Rings Air Sphere (ASC) Coating Two Aspherical Elements, Two UD Elements Rounded 11-Blade Diaphragm Weather-Sealed Design Attachable Rear Gel Filter Holder Canon RF 35mm f/1.4 L VCM Lens (Canon RF) Designed with high-end cinema video in mind, the Canon RF 35mm f/1.4L VCM Lens is a wide-angle L-series hybrid prime featuring an ultra-fast f/1.4 maximum aperture to suit working in difficult lighting conditions. via No Film School https://ift.tt/lxS21AN June 06, 2024 at 02:38PM

While innovation is the way forward for the Pro AV industry expect AV/IT Managers to be more deliberative with their technology spending in 2024. Our HDBaseT Alliance President, Effi Goren-Goldstein, shares her thoughts with AVTechnology on the trend of "wants over needs" when it comes to prioritizing features, scalability, and fiscal responsibility for the hybrid workplace.

"In the #audiovisual (AV) industry, the distinction between commodity and service has long been a contentious issue. As #AV professionals, our value extends far beyond the equipment we provide. Yet, too often, we find ourselves compensated only for the equipment that makes it in the room, while our expertise, creativity, and design skills go unrecognized and underpaid. This imbalance not only undervalues our work but also threatens the innovation and quality that define our industry." https://lnkd.in/gZwAGRYE Kyle Brooks #BespokeAV #eventprofs

The IDK MSD-6204 is a high-performance digital multi switcher with a scan converter and up to 8 inputs and 4 outputs. For video input, 8 digital and 2 analog inputs are included and the following signals are supported: HDMI, DVI, HDBaseT, composite video, Y/C, analog RGB, and analog YPbPr signals. HDBaseT input supports Power over HDBaseT (PoH) that can power the connected devices. Input video signals are converted to HDMI/DVI or HDBaseT signals and output at a resolution up to 4K@30. For audio input, 8 digital and 2 analog inputs are included. Selected audio signals are output to digital audio, and 1 of 8 digital audio outputs can be selected to be output as analog audio. The lip sync function corrects the gap between the video and audio. ✅ 8 inputs and 4 outputs ✅ Up to 1080p/QWXGA(RB) ✅ 4K@30 mode is available ✅ HDCP 1.4 ✅ Multi-format inputs ✅ Switch selectable output (HDMI/HDBaseT) ✅ De-embedding up to 64 ch.

Below is D2X which uses ATSC 3.0 A/322 Standard as a Baseline. https://lnkd.in/epdHu4C “The purpose of the ATSC 3.0 physical layer is to offer a wide range of tools for broadcasters to choose the operating mode(s) that best fits their needs and targeted devices. This toolbox of technology is expected to grow over time and the ability to upgrade or swap out new technology is enabled with the extensive and extensible signaling in the Preamble. Broadcasters will have the ability to try new technologies out without breaking an existing service. The bootstrap, as described in A/321, allows emitted Frames to be different, including non-ATSC related signals. The time of the next similar frame is signaled so that the existing service can continue.” The D2X physical layer protocol shown below is intended for battery powered receivers (UE) including reduced capability IoT and wearables. D2X is harmonized for future interworking 5G NR (MBS) RAN layer 2 Cloud (datacenter) with 5G PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol). D2X is built on foundation of OFDMA with (24) sub-carriers defined as (1) physical resource block (PRB) in frequency and (N) PRB determines bandwidth of physical layer resources. The use LDPC with Non-uniform constellations with LDPC FEC frame length 16200 bits and 12 code rates. D2X supports SFN topologies with (5, 10, 15, 20, 25) km Inter-Site Distance (ISD). Channel estimation using 10 scattered pilot patterns along with continual pilot patterns. Three IFFT sizes (2K, 4K and 8K) supports various bandwidths (5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 24) MHz RF carriers. The D2X receivers (UE) adapt and use (512, 1024, 2K, 4K, 8K) FFT depending on bandwidth (number of PRB) and for battery savings. The Doppler support selected from 300 km/h to 600 km/h using 1000 MHz RF carrier frequency as reference. https://lnkd.in/e8Q8zcU4 #D2X #ATSC3 #ORAN #5GNR #Interwork
