INDUSTRY. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
Creamsource Attendees had the chance to get up close and personal with the Vortex lighting series – tech used on several Hollywood productions, including Black Panther , Dune , Mulan , American Assassin , Thor: Ragnarok and Stranger Things . Illuminating the NAB Central Hall, Creamsource showcased two impressive LED fixtures – the high-powered flagship
660W Vortex8 and 325W Vortex4. Each employs the same user interface, revered by lighting artists for its modern design and ease of use. It eliminates the steep learning curves and downtime associated with rigging and programming multiple lights at once, and works in tandem for maximum synchronisation. creamsource.com
Blackmagic Shows notwithstanding, it’s already been a busy year for Blackmagic, with a flurry of announcements showgoers were keen to get the low-down on. The latest update to DaVinci Resolve takes top billing by virtue of its cloud collaboration capabilities. Version 18 allows multiple people to work simultaneously on the same project, regardless of location. Users tap into the Blackmagic Cloud to collaborate, while the new Blackmagic Proxy Generator automatically creates proxies linked to camera originals for a faster editing workflow. A beta of Version 18 is available for download from the website, with the updated software giving users fresh Resolve FX tools, time-saving features for editors and more. Alongside this reworked software, Blackmagic also showcased its new family of high-performance network storage solutions. Blackmagic Cloud Store, Cloud Store Mini and Cloud Pod have been created to share large media files between multiple users for editing, colour correction, audio post and VFX work. Finally, HyperDeck Shuttle HD is a recorder and player designed for desktop use. It can be a master recorder or clip player, with the large search dial making it easy to find the required clip. ProRes, DNx and H.264 files in NTSC, PAL, 720p and 1080p video formats are all supported. blackmagicdesign.com
