Sony’s high-end cinema camera, Venice, will be featuring v5.0 firmware. Since its launch in 2017, the camera has become a hugely popular choice for filmmakers and has been used on a wide range of high- profile productions in the UK and across the world, such as ITV’s fish-out-of-water drama of last year, Wild Bill . Also on display is the PXW-FX9, the latest addition to Sony’s full frame line-up which includes Fast Hybrid AF, Dual Base ISO and S-Cinetone colour science. You can also see a selection of Sony’s Trimaster monitors for on-set and post-production applications, alongside audio equipment for location-based audio recording. Quasar Science is showcasing its new RR100 and RR50 linear LED lights. The design of these lights advances Quasar’s tubular form factor with a larger width, but retains the low-profile shape of the company’s legacy lights. “We were asked to make a panel. But with the market saturated in panels, it did not help anyone to add another. So, we went in a different direction,” says Quasar Science CEO, Steven Strong. Affectionately dubbed the “Double Rainbow”, the RR has two rows of pixels expanding animation and FX QUASAR SCIENCE quasarscience.com

capabilities, making it ideal for process car work and special lighting effects. And, with its trademark Swaptics interchangeable lens system, the RR can be fitted with the slim diffuser – which comes included – the Light Barrel large diffuser and the Light Magnifier projection lens.

In addition to wired DMX, the RR can be controlled with sACN, Artnet and controlled wirelessly by CRMX, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Like the Rainbow before it, the RR has integrated AC power supply and auxiliary DC input.

Celebrating its 30th birthday, P+S Technik is gifting BSC Expo an unveiling of its new designed primes. The primes are part of the Technovision 1.5x anamorphic lens series, which covers larger formats, and will join the already well- known Evolution 2x lenses for Super 35mm. Also on display is the Lenschecker, a small, compact and mobile tool to evaluate lenses by projection, and the newly launched Optica Magnus Xpanders which come in five different magnification factors.
