Hi guys,

first of all - thanks for the best NAB coverage on the web. I really appreciate all your hard work.

What I would like to see :
- new Mac products from Matrox
- transportable LED lights that can run from a battery
- light but good tripods

Red will be covered in depth, rest assured. Great feedback from everyone else, keep it coming guys. You can’t complain we didn’t show it if you don’t weigh in :)

Man, I am stoked to be there. Following the little gems is what I like to read about. Stuff that gets passed on by others. There is so much to take in at NAB…
8 Chris Apr 7th, 2008 at 10:14 pm

Will Sony get serious with the EX1 and give us everything the Z7 and S270 do (exchangable lenses, SD recording, cheap recording media, shoulder mount) but with a 1/2″ 1920×1080p resolution optical block?

Will JVC and Canon release a HD camcorder with solid state media recording?

Two things - Scarlet and HMC150

This is what I’d like to see in your coverage of NAB:

- Blu-Ray authoring (new drives, software, etc)
- Redrock’s new announcements
- Newer and cheaper LED lighting equipment
- New HD cameras from Panasonic, Sony, Canon, etc.
- Current state of HD production in the prosumer market
- Maturing of HD formats (HD Pro, DVCPro HD, HDV, AVCHD, etc)
- New post-production, color-correction, and effects offerings (Magic Bullet, Boris, etc)
- Solid state media: the facts (P2 vs. SxS cards, new contenders)
- Video for the web: beyond YouTube (Vimeo and other HD offerings for producers)

I’m sure I’ll come up with more.

A production master monitor roundup/shootout between the
eCinema
Cinetal
New Sony BVMâ€“L230

Also maybe some coverage of the CML party. They tend to have most of the new cameras, recorders and monitors all in one place shooting the same subject..Last years big surprise was the Panasonicâ€™s HPX-3000.

Interesting color correction options and interfaces

Roundup of aftermarket Red accessories

P2 Genie, Red Genie

New Leader 5850 waveform/vectorscope

Keep up the good work

ooO O000 OO0000!

Do a whole episode on a reasonably priced jibs,/dolleys/and steadicams

No junk

all jibs most have a remote head of some kind.
and none of those weird dv rig stabalizers. Only steadicams with spring arms.

Please.

Did I mention HD flypacks.
19 Matthew Jeppsen Apr 10th, 2008 at 1:49 pm

This is great feedback, we’re taking notes and will continue to watch these comments over the weekend. Thanks!

20 Andrew McMillan Apr 10th, 2008 at 2:54 pm

2/3 inch 35mm adaptors from brevis and letsus.
Camplex and similar systems.
and um. check out all the all the cameras we can’t afford.

And ask Brian valenti if their new mattebox can fit on a 2/3 with the handgrip interfiering with the swing away mechanism.
21 Chris Apr 10th, 2008 at 7:20 pm

Just saw Canon hasn’t gone solid state and maybe JVC won’t either. What’s going on? Sony is set to make a killing.
22 Bobby Holbrook Apr 11th, 2008 at 11:43 am

I can’t wait to hear and see the New Panny Varicam!!! Also a check up on the Fugi brand P2 card and when to expect them. Anything on lighting and grip. Maybe a comparison on playback monitors/color correct monitors for the edit suite. Finally a check up from last year on the Si-2K.
P.S. Anything new from Lectrosonics?
Thanks
Bobby

I would love to see something on if Panasonic is going to respond to the Sony EX1. I really hope they do.

1/3″ is so two years ago.
24 Chris Apr 12th, 2008 at 8:07 pm

Forget the EX1. The new EX3 will be the biggest thing at NAB this year. Interchangable lenses, new integrated full res viewfinder, shoulder pad and new peripherals like SxS card deck (PMW-EX30), 60 GB SxS hard drive recorder(PHU-60K), new Version 2.0 Clip Browser that has built in SD downconversion, 32GB SxS CARD (SPB-32) 2 of which will give you 4 hours at highest quality. It’s a complete system that now makes anything less than 1920×1080 @ 35mbps recording redundant.
25 Jim Apr 13th, 2008 at 9:14 am

Are you kidding me!! The “EX3 will be the biggest thing at NAB this year”!!

Its all about RED!

27 Andrew McMillan Apr 13th, 2008 at 7:37 pm

29 Joshua Nard Apr 14th, 2008 at 8:39 pm

I would love to see more new media tech: IPTV and DCN (Digital Content Delivery). Even though I love everything else you cover. Much of this stuff gets overlooked and it is the future of media.
30 Elliott Tucker Apr 15th, 2008 at 6:24 am

Blackmagic Designs has new items worth checking out
31 Frank Millaney Apr 15th, 2008 at 9:47 am

Redrock shoulder support and mattebox!
32 Andrew McMillan Apr 15th, 2008 at 11:33 am

On the EX3 Find out about ccu compatibility. I am half between the EX1/3 or the hpx 500.

Thankyou guys some much I all most feel like I’m there.
33 Keith Apr 16th, 2008 at 11:44 am

Can you go and get some footage and feedback on Tangent new affordable Control Surface called Wave for use with apps like Final Cut Studio’s Color?
34 Keith Apr 16th, 2008 at 3:45 pm

Just an fyi. The Matrox flash video piece is broken and won’t play on the home page.
35 Matthew Jeppsen Apr 17th, 2008 at 11:22 am

Hey Keith, the Matrox clip has been fixed now. Thanks for the heads up.
