Saturday, May 28th, 20112011 BCPVA VIA Awards – In the News
Thursday, May 19th, 2011The video production industry is very excited about the 2011 BCPVA Video Innovation Awards.
Here are just a few international websites who have covered the news. The list includes sites from Japan, Australia, & USA.
NEX-FS100P 2011 Wins VIA Award at NAB 2011.
The British Columbia Professional Videographers Association presented Sony with the 2011 BCPVA Video Innovation Award for the NEX-FS100P.
The 2011 BCPVA VIA was presented to Jeff Ibbotson, Senior Vice President, Professional Solutions Group, by BCPVA delegate Shawn Lam, at NAB 2011.
The NEX-FS100P is a super 35 sensor interchangeable lens HD video camera with professional XLR audio inputs. The super 35 sensor allows the FS100 to attain superior low light sensitivity and a sought-after bokeh, or defocus. The FS100 improves on the problems that DSLR camera operators have been limited by, including moire, aliasing, rolling shutter, 12 minute record limits, lack of data-display-less HDMI record out, and egonomics.
The British Columbia Videographers Association is Canada’s largest non-profit professional video association and its members specialise in event, corporate, and wedding videography.

Blackmagic Design’s ATEM Television Studio Wins BCPVA Video Innovation Award
Milpitas, CA – May 18, 2011 – Blackmagic Design today announced that ATEM Television Studio is the recipient of a BCPVA Video Innovation Award, presented by the British Columbia Professional Videographers Association at the 2011 NAB Show.The British Columbia Videographers Association is Canada’s largest non-profit professional video association. The BCPVA Video Innovation Award was awarded to companies that have released revolutionary new products for corporate and event video producers. Award recipients are judged according to the features, performance, innovation, uniqueness and value offered by their new product.
“The Blackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio is a game-changer in the video production switcher market,” said Shawn Lam, BCPVA delegate and former president. ”This powerful 6 input HDMI and HD to SDI switcher has the value proposition of a switcher costing thousands more, which is impressive considering its price of less than a thousand dollars.”
“It is an honor to win the BCPVA award. ATEM Television Studio is an amazing switcher that’s broadcast quality, and with it’s HDMI connections, H.264 encoding, and affordable price, it’s going to help so many new people experience the excitement of live production for the first time. These new HD consumer cameras are amazing quality, and look great, and then as the customers grow, they can start plugging in higher end SDI cameras for greater cable distances and quality,” said Grant Petty, CEO, Blackmagic Design. “Then within minutes of an event being complete, the H.264 files can be online for the world to see. It’s an amazing solution!”
The BCPVA VIA award is proudly displayed here, on Blackmagic’s website.
Atomos (Australia)
Atomos’ spectacular first NAB
Demonstrating Ninja (HDMI) + introducing Samurai (HD-SDI)
We surprised a few people when we arrived at NAB with a large booth, a platoon of employees and some of the hottest cameras in the show, all linked up and working with Ninjas.
Atomos was started by just two visionary guys, Ian and Jeromy, but it’s grown to have offices in three continents, a massively experienced workforce and a world-wide distribution network.
So we wanted to make a splash at NAB 2011, and that’s exactly what we did, winning a MARIO Award from TV Technology, a Broadcasting Engineering Pick Hit award and the 2011 BCPVA Video Innovation Award.
K-Tek had an amazing NAB 2011 show, displaying the new Norbert Sport, Tadpoles, and the updated Shoe Department, bringing in some amazing awards!

My first timelapse…. ahhhh
Wednesday, May 11th, 2011Michael Rendulic from AVinhouse wanted to see my timelapse footage. So, here it is Michael.
I used a 7d with a $30 intervalometer to take these shots. I did it in video mode using the Bulb (B) setting. That pretty much puts the camera on automatic. I want to do some playing around using shutter priority and aperture priority on future shots.
Does anyone else do timelapse with a still camera and do you have any tips?

AJA Ki Pro Mini and Time code
Wednesday, May 4th, 2011I’ve discovered something about AJA’s Ki Pro Mini that perhaps even AJA might not be aware of. If you have the device hooked up to the PMW EX1R or the PMW EX3 via SDI and have these cameras set to TIME OF DAY time code generation the device will……
H.264 from Mac to Web
Monday, May 2nd, 2011One of the best video formats available today for all kinds of applications is H.264. Even though it’s primarily a delivery codec there are cameras such as Canon’s DSLR line that uses it for acquisition. Why? Because it’s a great lightweight (small file size) codec with superior quality. H.264′s most common use is for the web. I’m getting increasing requests from clients for deliverables based on H.264 with an MP4 wrapper to put on their web sites.
