SHOW HIGHLIGHTS INDUSTRY.
Zeiss Flexing its considerable cine-optic muscles, Zeiss presented the latest addition to its Supreme family: the 15mm T1.8. It took centre stage as the brand completed its 14-piece Supreme Prime series, which now runs from 15mm to 200mm. Upholding the company’s reputation for outstanding quality, light weight and versatility, the lens provides a wide view for Super 35 and full-frame cameras. It’s available for pre-order, with delivery expected in June.
Attendees also experienced the Supreme Prime Radiance family, known for stunning blue flares, while Zeiss also used the show to premiere a brand-new VFX studio software solution. CinCraft Mapper is a digital service that quickly and easily provides frame-accurate lens distortion and shading data. Mapper is the first service in the CinCraft ecosystem for the digital application of lens looks into compositing and matchmoving workflows. zeiss.com
Brompton Technology
Brompton illuminated NAB Show with its LED video processors made for virtual production, broadcast and live events. The LED-walled booth (powered by Tessera SX40 and S8 processors) showed how its tech unlocks unprecedented visual performance from LED panels. The manufacturer demonstrated its Frame Remapping feature – an industry-first component that enables each camera to see and capture a unique virtual background with the correct perspective, and allows two cameras to shoot a virtual background and green screen simultaneously. Further displays of Tessera exhibited live colour grading on the LED wall, Dynamic Calibration for previously unattainable brightness and colour saturation on LED panels – and ShutterSync. This lets users tune the LED refresh to the camera (not the other way around) for the first time, giving control back to the DOP. bromptontech.com
Sumolight Sumolight showed off its newest member of the family – Sumomax – which offers the same distinctive hexagonal form factor of its stablemate, Sumospace+. Born from request by LDs, gaffers and cinematographers for even more power, Sumolight’s engineers worked their socks off to create the stunning 1800-15,000K, full-spectrum, 700W powerhouse. Wanting to inspire creative lighting, Sumolight made the high-lumen LED streamlined and compact, so it can be transported easily. At NAB, the company emphasised the unit’s versatility, thanks to ‘swoptic’ module interchangeable optics, which allow beams to be narrowed or widened between 20° and 120°. The light accepts an array of shaping tools, transforming it from space light to soft light or high-intensity feature. sumolight.com
