Navigating new for
The complexities of handling emerging formats such as 4K/Ultra HD, coupled
with a myriad number of content delivery platforms, is challenging previously
entrenched post-production workflows. Shawn Liew explains how broadcasters
can successfully navigate these challenges.
More power, less weight
IDX is offering the new Endura Duo
Compact batteries, designed to offer
“significant savings” in size and weight. The
Duo-C95 packs 93Wh capacity into a slim
form factor weighing 0.59kg. For longer run
times, IDX offers the Duo-C190, weighing
1.04kg, with a capacity of 185Wh and
supports a continuous load of 11A/120W.
This makes the battery ideal for high-power,
demanding LED lights and digital cinema
camera set-ups, according to IDX. As with
other IDX Duo batteries, the Duo-C95 and
Duo-C190 are equipped with 2x D-Tap and
a USB power output to power ancillaries
that are commonly found on today’s camera
systems.

roadcasters today are facing a renais-
sance of new material that is being
captured in numerous digital media
formats. In return, broadcasters need
to become more agile in developing
content, says David Colantuoni, senior
director, product management, Avid.
He tells APB: “Broadcasters also
need to be adept at distributing content
to consumers’ varied viewing devices,
including smartphones, tablets and
the Web — in addition to traditional
TV. Technology providers also need to
be agile in their development of tools
that broadcasters need to manage this
transformation.”
