BSC EXPO INDUSTRY
STANDS TO CHECK OUT
Aputure | Booth 209 On display at the Aputure booth will be the NOVA II 2x1 and 1x1 panels, alongside the more specialised NOVA II 9°, which is designed for long-throw applications. The STORM 700x is a powerful tunable- white point-source LED fixture built around Aputure’s advanced BLAIR light engine. It’s engineered to deliver super- accurate cinematic white light, offering extensive green/magenta adjustment and impressive output from a relatively compact housing. Aimed at demanding pro workflows, the fixture supports a wide array of control options including Sidus Link, DMX/RDM, CRMX and wireless operation, while its IP65 weather rating promises reliability even in challenging exterior locations. Complementing the STORM line-up, Aputure is also showcasing the next generation of its LED panel tech: the NOVA II series. Powered by the BLAIR-CG light engine, these panels provide excellent spectral performance, a wide tunable colour gamut and precise white-light control from 1800K to 20,000K. The NOVA II 2x1 is the flagship model, delivering high output and colour accuracy, while the 1x1 offers similar performance in a more compact form factor. The NOVA II 9°, meanwhile, offers a tight beam angle, producing a focused, high-intensity output suited to long-distance or highly controlled lighting scenarios. Astera | Booth 341 Astera will be showing off its complete LED ecosystem including the Titan, Helios and Hyperion Tubes, plus its new SolaBulb: the first wireless, zoomable, bulb-style fresnel designed for film, TV, live events and broadcast. Compact enough to disappear into lamps, lanterns and architectural fixtures, SolaBulb delivers a 50W-equivalent output and an industry-first 15-50° manual zoom, allowing crews to shift instantly from a crisp, controlled spot to a wide, atmospheric wash without swapping gear. Powered by Astera’s Titan RGBMA LED Engine, SolaBulb’s integrated PAR20 lens offers rich colour
rendering, excellent skin-tone accuracy and a cinematic fresnel lens. At 15W, it produces an impressive 5228 lux at 1m for a truly set-ready punch. Its subtle footprint and IP44 construction make it as useful on location as in the studio. SolaBulb includes the lightweight SolaSnoot for added spill control, built-in LumenRadio CRMX, Bluetooth and full AsteraApp integration. The familiar NYX Bulb workflow SolaBulb is compatible with Astera’s PowerStation for external display and portable battery use. Atomos | Booth 107 Atomos will be showcasing its trusted range of monitoring and transmission solutions, including Ninja TX, Ninja TX GO, Shinobi 7 RX and Sumo. Designed for fast-paced, professional workflows, these tools continue to be a staple on-set and in production environments worldwide. The team also teases a new release that its keeping firmly under wraps for now… watch this space! Blackmagic Design | Booth 352 Check out what’s new with DaVinci Resolve Studio, including AI-assisted tools like IntelliCut, Magic Mask and Dialogue Matcher, all helping you Through Blackmagic Cloud, DaVinci Resolve Studio also enables real-time collaboration between editors, colourists and VFX artists, whether they’re in the same room or working across continents. BSC Expo is also a chance to learn more about the URSA Cine platform, which includes both a 12K large format and the new 17K 65 digital cinema camera, offering high dynamic range capture with interchangeable lens mounts, built-in storage and native cloud integration. Both feature Blackmagic’s unique RGBW sensor architecture, which supports multiple resolutions and delivers exceptional colour fidelity. That same RGBW sensor powers the compact PYXIS 12K, which offers 4K, 8K and 12K acquisition in a single box, with frame rates up to 112fps and in-camera speed up editorial and finishing without compromising control.
GOT YOUR BACK Check out the latest kit plus the Talent Bar, a space to connect, chat and exchange advice on a variety of challenges
to mental health concerns. In the Joe Dunton Theatre, the BSC and Patrons will host seminars across the two days including Virtual Production Gone Wrong – delivered by iMAG – which explores what happens when things go sideways on VP shoots (and how solutions were found). RED, meanwhile, presents The Secret to Shooting Action Scenes, with a panel of big-name DOPs sharing how to create the perfect action sequence. There’s also No Prep? No Panic!, which covers stepping into a project at the last minute, and The Cinematographers’ Signature, which looks at how each DOP adds their unique stamp to a project. Read on for our highlights from this year’s show floor. See you in Battersea Park!
