G-TECHNOLOGY ArmorLock delivers next-gen security and simplicity for the media industry

The Fujinon Premista 19-45mm T2.9 is the thirdmodel to join the Premista series of zoom lenses for cinema cameras that support large format sensors and film. Just like the Premista 28-100mm and 80- 250mm, this lens produces images with natural and beautiful bokeh, outstanding high resolution, accurate colour rendition and controllable flare withminimal ghosting. The Premista 19-45mm shows little distortion throughout the zoom range. Like the rest of the Premista series, the new lens supports Cooke /i technology and Zeiss eXtended Data, which allow lens metadata to be recorded during shooting. The lens combines large-diameter aspherical lens elements, with Fujifilm’s unique zooming system to deliver superior resolution by effectively correcting issues such as chromatic aberration. It produces an image circle with 46.3mmdiameter, supporting all current large format sensors and film. It’s also been designed to show minimal distortion, even when shooting at wide-angle focal lengths. A 13-blade design forms a near- perfect circular aperture, which produces natural, beautiful bokeh. Cutting-edge optical design and Fujifilm’s unique coating process have been adopted tominimise ghosts and control flares tomaintain good contrast, maximising the dynamic range of light being captured by the camera. Fujifilm’s unique coatings also maintain a neutral cinematic colour tone that matches with other Premista, Premier and Cabrio lenses. fujinoncinelens.com FUJIFILM Big andwide withFujinonPremista full-frame zoom

The platform is the next stage of evolution in encrypted storage. It was designed from scratch over several years and pushes the boundaries of state- of-the-art security techniques, while maintaining ease-of-use. The first product with this technology, the new G-Technology ArmorLock encrypted NVMe SSD, delivers a high- performance, high-grade security storage solution for creators in the media industry. With the ArmorLock app, users can unlock the device with their phone, using face recognition, a fingerprint, or the phone’s passcode, ensuring lost passwords don’t cause missed deadlines. The SSD provides encryption without getting in the way of the workflow by enabling collaboration without the need to tape PINs to the drive. The next-gen security in ArmorLock devices also enables teams to authorise remote users before sharing the drives using messaging and email services – especially important for collaborative workflows that require safe shipping of content between physical locations. getarmorlock.com

Facing the threat of hijacked media files and leaked films, studios are demanding a better way to protect critical content. Data is the essential competitive advantage and encryption has become mandatory to protect it. While much of the focus is on cloud security, data often remains vulnerable on portable storage devices. Filmmakers also need to be able to capture, preserve and access their data at scale and at speed. G-Technology believes the world needs new technologies to enable data privacy without hampering data availability, which is why the ArmorLock security platformwas built. SONY Sony A7C and zoom set new standards for mirrorless Sony A7C full-frame mirrorless camera and matching FE 28-60mm F4-5.6 zoom lens make a small yet powerful package. The A7C is one of the world’s smallest and lightest full-frame cameras, featuring advanced AF and 4K video capabilities. When paired with the small and light FE 28-60mm F4- 5.6 standard zoom lens, it maximises portability without sacrificing any of the power of full-frame imaging. The A7C features a 24.2-megapixel 35mm full-frame back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ X image-processing engine, offering 15-stop dynamic range and high-speed image data processing. Measuring 124x71x59.7mm and weighing 509g/18oz, the A7C is a similar size and weight to an APS-C camera, weighing only 1%more than the A6600. The A7C has an upgraded five-axis in-body stabilisation system and shutter unit, while the NP-FZ100 battery provides helps capture 740 images when using the LCDmonitor. Full-frame, full-pixel readout without the need for pixel binning

makes it possible to capture more than twice the amount of data required for 4K video, which is then oversampled to produce high-quality 4K footage. In addition, the A7C supports HDR, HLG and S-Log/S-Gamut profiles and high- speed full HD recording at 120fps. It also features real-time eye AF and touch tracking functionality. A digital audio interface has been added to the camera’s Multi-Interface Shoe, allowing the ECM-B1M Shotgun Microphone or XLR-K3M XLR Adapter Kit to be connected to input digital audio signals directly to the MI shoe for cleaner, clearer audio recordings. sony.com
