Thank you to all who visited our stand at SMPTE13

The SMPTE Sydney exhibition was very successful and we were kept busy with a continuous flow of designers, directors, producers and other visitors interested in our extreme SLO-MO cameras and our small 1080/60P Point-of-View cameras.

On show: Phantom M320S and Flex 2k
Among our numerous exhibits, we demonstrated the Phantom M320S and Phantom Flex2K, set up as they would be in a production environment. The Miro M320S was configured with a Phantom Remote Control Unit and a small video recorder with LCD viewfinder. This allows the operator to save the recording as the high speed sequence is being viewed and proofed. This provides a clean, quick and elegant workflow, although in some cases our customers prefer a raw workflow by using the Phantom Cineflash storage device. The Phantom Flex2K has On-Camera-Controls and with a viewfinder and Cinemag was configured for a raw workflow.

We would like to thank Borce Damcevski from 8 Days a Week Productions who gave up a considerable amount of his time to help us set up the M320S and Flex2K demos. He also allowed us to use his Phantom Miro M320S, with lenses and other associated accessories. Borce's artistic flare and showmanship came to the forefront in designing the live demo for the M320S and the Phantom Flex. He now has bigger and better plans for SMPTE 2015. There is no holding him back. A warm thanks to Borce.

On show: iMovix X10
We also demonstrated the new iMovix X10 broadcast camera for Super Slo-Mo at live sports broadcast events. The X10 is powered by a Phantom high speed camera and connects seamlessly in a live broadcast environment.
Direct connection to SMPTE cable, audio channels, tallies and an excellent colour-matching capability makes the X10 perfectly familiar to operators in the broadcast industry.

The X10 records continuously at 10x speed and directly to an EVS XT3 with Ultra-Motion for over 2 hours. This provides operators with the ability to jog back to any action recorded for up to 2 hours previously and play it at any speed via control of a T-bar controller. X10 is a unique product in the current market. Check out the X10 here

Thanks to Dylan and Adam from Amber Technology who distribute the EVS systems in Australia and who allowed us to use the EVS XT3 with our iMovix X10 at SMPTE. With their help we were able to demonstrate the power and quality of combining these two products. Thanks guys and thanks Amber Tech.

On show: IO Industries Flare 2KSDI Point-of-View camera
Also on display was the new IO Industries Flare 2KSDI 1080/60P Point-of-View camera.

This small HD-SDI camera is typically used in places where a conventional camera doesn't fit e.g, corner posts or goal posts, moving vehicles, UAV’s etc.

Many favourable comments about this camera's exceptional picture quality were received from interested visitors to our stand. It offers the full control you would expect from a Film/TV camera and yet is only 63x63x41mm and weighs 310 grams. Check out the IO Industries Flare 2kSDI camera here.

Worth the wait: The new Phantom Flex 4K
We were unable to have the exciting, new Phantom Flex4K on the stand as there are a very limited number available around the world at the moment; however, Vision Research plan to release them to production in October.

Instead of the camera, we displayed some exceptional footage taken with it of a fire scene in New York, and provided by Vision Research and Abel Cine. This footage is remarkable and anyone that viewed it clearly understood the quality of image that this camera produces in 4K at 1000 fps and at normal production frame rates.

We look forward to receiving this camera and presenting it to the Australian market in the near future and will keep you posted. In the meantime, click here for more information.

Further acknowledgements
We would also like to acknowledge Chris Bryan from Chris Bryan Films from whose skiing video we lifted a frame to print on our M320S poster. Take a look Chris's video on Vimeo It is VERY cool.

And a final, kind acknowledgement to Lemac from whom we rented our monitors and who were very helpful and supportive.

For those of you to whom we spoke at SMPTE13 and who require our help,
we will be in touch in the next couple of days.

Thanks again for visiting, and see you next time at SMPTE 2015, if not sooner.

Best regards
Marc Fimeri
