Philips is sharpening its focus on creatives with a range of Thunderbolt 4 monitors designed for colour-critical work.

ALEXA, GO LARGER This is the new Sony Rialto sensor - bigger than the one in Arri’s Alexa cine cameras

The new Voyager 24-50mm f/2.8 is not only Thypoch’s first
autofocus optic, but also the first full- frame autofocus zoom developed by a Chinese optical brand. Designed for Sony E-mount, the Voyager uses an internal zoom design to keep the lens the same physical length regardless of focal length, so it’s ideal for video use on gimbals.

It’s Sony make believe! SENSOR-SATIONAL
The big time is beckoning for Sony, as it has recently revealed the Rialto 65, a 65mm-format image sensor that’s scheduled for release in 2027. Measuring in at 53.75x35.83mm, it’s bigger than the 43.8x32.9mm sensor in the Fujifilm GFX100 series and the Hasselblad X2D 100C. Capable of 9.6K open gate recording, it is initially destined for Sony’s high-end Venice 2 cinema
camera. The 65mm format is the size across the diagonal of the sensor, and it refers to a traditional super-size film format. But the move has since fuelled speculation that the sensor could be used in a new family of medium format Sony stills cameras. These would need a whole new lens mount as E-mount glass would not cover the sensor. sony.com
