Hi! My name is Oren Shalmy.
This blog is a collection of articles discussing various technologies used in video and film post production. Some posts are original, most are not.
From open source tools and rebel techniques to high-end DI, digital distribution, animation and VFX.
So I decided to quickly grab a couple of test shots with both S-Log and Cinegamma 1 to see how much of a difference there was. I was only able to record to the internal SxS card, but the results were quite enlightening. This was all done very quickly, so it’s not particularly scientific or accurate, but it does prove beyond any doubt that S-Log brings a significant boost to the dynamic range compared to the cinegammas. I estimate it gives you between 1.5 and 2 more stops to play with. Given that the F3 is already tested and shown to have around 11.5 stops with the cinegammas, this means that the F3 with S-Log is in the 13 to 13.5 stop range, very impressive indeed.
According to P+S Technik, as digital film technology develops, new frame rate speeds are opening new options for storytelling. At 300fps to 450fps human action can add a different look to sports, documentary, wildlife and feature films. The PS-Cam X35 can film frame rates from between 1 and 450 fps. The PS-Cam X35 is also expected to combine aspects of sync-sound cameras and higher speed rates into one all-purpose digital camera. Dynamic Picture Quality Enhancement processing gives 11 T-stops at normal and high speed. The internal memory is 18 GB and allows recording of more than 4min in normal speed. A memory upgrade to 36 GB is planned. The switchable HD-SDI interface in 1.5 G and 3 G outputs to most HD-SDI recorders. Genlock and time code are included. It has a PS-IMS lens mount and CMOS 35 Digital sensor measuring 21.1 x 11.9 mm at full HD with 1920 x 1080 resolution. It records HD in 4:2:2 10 Bit uncompressed, and is stereo compatible. A RAW option is planned with 12 bit uncompressed recording. Its weight is approximately 9.5kg. Available accessories are a range of IMS lens mounts, standard batteries, a hand unit for remote control and the various HD-SDI recorders. A new electronic viewfinder is also planned. The PS-Cam X35 is expected to be released in the latter half of 2011. www.pstechnik.de |

Built into LionMore...
The Xsan file system is built into OS X Lion, allowing any Mac with appropriate connectivity to access an Xsan volume.
Case insensitivity option
For improved performance and simplicity, you can now create case-insensitive Xsan volumes. These volumes act like traditional HFS+ volumes and do not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase characters in filenames.
New preference pane
A new Xsan pane in System Preferences makes it easier to manage, mount, and unmount Xsan volumes.
Industry-standard multipathing
Lion supports the Asymmetric Logical Unit Access (ALUA) standard for multipathing and failover. This allows Xsan to be used with a variety of Fibre Channel RAID storage arrays.
