World tour, Nanguang style! Specialist LED lighting companies Nanlux, Nanlite and Nanlink are commemorating 30 years of manufacturing professional lighting equipment for the film, TV and photo industries – and are going on a world tour to celebrate. Parent company Nanguang will be
showcasing all the latest equipment at the biggest filmmaking events. This started at the BSC Expo in London, then it’s on to ShowBiz Expo in Los Angeles, IBC in Amsterdam and NAB in Las Vegas. Established in 1992 as Guangdong Nanguang Photo and Video Systems, the company was an LED innovator, and launched a total of three spin-off brands. It now employs over 900 staff at a state- of the-art design and manufacturing facility, turning out more than one million products per year. Among the releases created by an in-house technical team to coincide with the anniversary, are the new Pavo Tube II 15X, 30X and 60X fixtures. This is a range of versatile, feature-packed RGBWW LED tube lights with studio-quality output. The Pavo Tubes join the just-launched Evoke 1200, which delivers stunning levels of illumination, whether as a powerful Fresnel, controllable spotlight or natural soft source. Both the Evoke and Pavo Tube II line up alongside the Dyno series of high-output, yet beautifully soft panel lights. Released a year ago, this has already established itself in-studio and on location. nanguang.cn

NIKON RAWCOMES TO RESOLVE
files. But it limits project mastering and output to Ultra HD resolutions or lower. DaVinci Resolve 17 only supports one processing GPU on Windows and Linux, and two on the latest Mac Pro. If you need support for many GPUs, 4K output, motion blur, temporal and spatial noise reduction, de-interlacing, HDR tools and camera tracker, you must invest in Studio at £225/$295. blackmagicdesign.com
The latest DaVinci Resolve is the first NLE with support for NRAW, as used in the Z 9 we test this issue. Revamped software offers presets for Sony IMF renders and improved stability for 3D renders in Fusion, on Apple Mac models with M1 Max processors. New 17.4.6 software has better audio proxy handling and Vimeo credential recognition, and improved stability for HDR controls on Apple silicon models. Also addressed are audio issues with proxies for non-48kHz clips, audio artefacts rendering Sony XAVC formats and a context menu issue for clips with cached effects, among others. The free version of DaVinci Resolve 17 includes the same processing as the paid-for Studio version and can handle unlimited-resolution media
