9. NBCUNIVERSAL LIGHTBLADE The LightBlade LB800 is the latest professional lighting tool from NBCUniversal in partnership with Cineo. The LB800 represents the latest technological advances within the LightBlade product line, with new features and even greater flexibility. Like all LightBlade fixtures, the LB800 uses proprietary phosphor- converted white light LEDs, as well as phosphor-converted saturated colour LEDs. These work together to create a balanced, natural- looking spectrum featuring Cineo’s deep-red colour rendering technology. The saturated colour LEDs use the exact same dies as the white LEDs, so all light emitting elements of the LightBlade products carry identical thermal stability and perform over time with consistent colour quality. Additional features include support of both 8-bit and 16-bit DMX data, as well as multiple colour space personalities. LightBladeLed.com 10.

PAG PAG will spotlight its unique and revolutionary intelligent linking batteries for high-end cameras and accessories. PAGlink is one of the industry’s most technologically advanced portable power system, available in V-Mount and Gold Mount formats. Linking batteries combines capacities for longer run-time and a higher current draw (12A) - ideal for powering a camera and multiple accessories simultaneously. The 150Wh PL150 battery offers 50% more capacity than the 96Wh PL96, with no increase in size. Two linked PL150s provide 300Wh. PAGlink means no more time-wasting camera reboots on set. Linked battery charging, developed by PAG, is more efficient and results in smaller, travel-friendly chargers, such as the new pocket-sized Micro Charger. PowerHub is a power distribution plate for camera accessories. It is used sandwiched between 2 PAGlink batteries. PowerHub is smarter than built-in battery D-Taps because it lets you choose the outputs: D-Tap, Lemo, Hirose or USB, and it keeps accessories powered-up when you hot-swap batteries. paguk.com moves on the ground. motion-impossible.com 11.
