NAB 2012: JVC introduces handheld camcorders

JVC Professional has launched two new handheld camcorders at the NAB Show, including its GY-HM650 mobile news camcorder.
Equipped with dual codecs, it produces full HD files on one memory card while simultaneously creating smaller, web-friendly files (1/4 HD) on a second card. With built-in FTP and Wi-Fi connectivity, the GY-HM650 delivers the footage back to a station without a microwave or satellite connection.
The GY-HM650 (pictured) has a built-in Fujinon wide-angle 23x zoom lens, low-light performance and a sensitivity of F11 at 2000 lux. The HD lens has a focal range of 29mm-667mm (35mm equivalent) and includes manual focus, servo zoom, and iris rings, along with three ND filters and a removable hood. Other features include JVC’s auto-focus with face detection and an optical image stabiliser.
Equipped with three, 1/3-inch 1920x1080 12-bit CMOS sensors, the GY-HM650 records HD or SD footage in multiple file formats, including native XDCAM EX (.MP4), Final Cut Pro (.MOV), and AVCHD, to non-proprietary SDHC or SDXC media cards. It also records .MXF files with rich descriptive metadata that is optimised for asset management. The camera also includes HD-SDI and HDMI outputs for easy monitoring of HD footage.
“Newsgathering and independent production continue to evolve. One or two-person teams have become commonplace, and many shooters are capturing images for TV, the Internet, and mobile devices,” said Gustav Emrich, European product manager. “With built-in web connectivity, simultaneous recording of a web-friendly video file, and .MXF files with rich descriptive metadata, the GY-HM650 is ideal for today's file-based workflows.”
Also at NAB, the GY-HM600 offers low light performance (F11 at 2000 lux), a long (23x) wide angle autofocus zoom lens, and file interoperability from acquisition to air.
The camera records HD or SD footage in multiple file formats, including native XDCAM EX (.MP4), Final Cut Pro (.MOV), and AVCHD, to non-proprietary SDHC or SDXC media cards. In addition to relay mode for uninterrupted recording, the GY-HM600 allows simultaneous recording to both memory cards for instant backup or client copy.

How to convert AVCHD mts/m2ts video files to regular file format on mac

AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) is a file-based format for the digital recording and playback of high-definition video.

Developed jointly by Sony and Panasonic, the format was introduced in 2006 primarily for use in high definition consumer camcorders. Favorable comparisons of AVCHD against HDV and XDCAM EX solidified perception of AVCHD as a format acceptable for professional usage. Panasonic released the first professional AVCHD camcorder in autumn of 2008, followed by Sony in the first quarter of 2010.
AVCHD 1080i is available on most AVCHD camcorders. For some models this is the only recording mode offered. AVCHD-SD is used in the shoulder-mount Panasonic HDC-MDH1, available on Southern-Asian markets, as well as on its North American AG-AC7 cousin. Several new models from JVC like the GZ-HM650, GZ-HM670 and GZ-HM690 can record AVCHD-SD video too. AVCHD-SD is not compatible with consumer DVD players, because it employs AVC video encoding instead of MPEG-2 Part 2. AVCHD-SD can be played on a Blu-ray Disc player.

MTS and M2TS are both file extensions for the high definition digital video camera recorder format, AVCHD (Advanced Video Codec High Definition). AVCHD was jointly established by Sony Corporation and Panasonic Corporation in 2006 for use in their digital tapeless camcorders.

Though both MTS and M2TS are file extensions for the same AVCHD and both support 720p and 1080i HD video formats, there is a slight difference between the two. In the M2TS file, the video file is saved in the high definition Blue-ray BDAV format. Video data on the Blue-ray discs can be saved in one of the three video codecs – MPEG2 Part 2, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, or SMPTE VC-1; and the audio data in either Dolby digital, DTS, or the uncompressed Linear PCM. The M2TS file extension is written as 'xxxxx.m2ts' where the ‘xxxxx’ are a five digit number corresponding to the audio-visual clip.

Then how to get AVCHD MTS files off HD Video cameras/camcorders to Mac?

If you want to playback your video to conputer, you will find most AVCHD camcorders are with high definition M2TS/MTS format. This format itself is good even perfect, but for Mac users, they must pay some effort to make it works well with their PC or Book. From QuickTime, iMovie, FCP, iDVD to YouTube, AVCHD M2TS format is not a fully compatible format. Even the latest iMovie'11 and FCPX. It can do nothing when the M2TS can't be detected by them.

With AVC HD camcorders, you typically need to connect the HD video camera to your Mac using a USB cable, firewire or iLink(Sony). Once connected and powered on, the camcorder should appear on the desktop as a new disk. The location of the films on the camcorders disk will vary depending on manufacturer. It is desirable that you copy the movies to your Mac harddisk before converting or editing. And there is a step by step instruction about how to capture footage from camcorder.

Mac AVCHD Converter can solve all your problems with best quality to transfer/convert and edit your HD videos.

iPad vs. Android tablet what are you expected

Which do you prefer, the Android Tablet or the Apple iPad 2? It's a toss-up; both have their devotees and their detractors. Do you go for the geek factor, or are user-friendly gadgets more your style? Is it personal taste, or is one really better than the other? You decide!
Hybrid Tablet Segment
A hybrid tablet is essentially a high-end tablet, with the added functionality of an attachable keyboard dock & trackpad. The form factor is similar to an ultrabook and it is also mouse-compatible. This segment was created by Asus, with the original Asus Transformer and has grown in popularity with the launch of the Asus Transformer Prime. Today, the hybrid tablet segment accounts for anywhere between 10-15% of all Android-based Tablets and is one of the fastest growing segments (after the Kindle Fire). Now, other PC/Tablet manufacturers have taken notice of this segment and have begun launching similar products.
Typing long emails and editing documents has long been a nightmare on touchscreen-only devices and hybrid tablets have come to prominence as a solution. Additionally, they are far more comfortable to use and carry, as compared to a tablet with a third-party keyboard accessory/dock, and offer significantly longer battery life. In terms of usage patterns, hybrid tablets could be used for productivity or high end gaming, apart from media tablet uses. Based on these usage patterns, the target segment for hybrid tablets is primarily high-end home users/power users and, in the long run, enterprise users. For these consumers, the key factors affecting their purchasing decision are most likely processing power, a keyboard dock, long battery life & a large, high-end application base. Based on this target market, the screen size and the price of the majority of products would be at the higher end of the market (10+ inches & $400-$600).
How does this affect the iPad?
The new iPad and the iPad 2 are still essentially high-end, high priced ($400+) media tablets, without the added functionality of being hybrid tablets. As these segmentation trends start to make their mark over the next year or two, the iPad will be caught between these two worlds. Apple could tackle this problem by introducing a smaller, low priced iPad (much to the dismay of the late Steve Jobs) or by introducing an iPad with a dockable keyboard (with integrated controls). Introducing a smaller, cheaper iPad would make Apple compete on far lower margins, risking their industry-leading operating profit margin. Unfortunately for Apple, introducing an iPad with a tablet dock would undoubtedly cannibalize sales of the Macbook Air, which is a high value product for Apple. Both strategies have their pitfalls, but they will be necessary if Apple expects to continue to be a major player in this industry.

Final Cut Pro X new version of Final Cut Pro

Apple has done some chatting with video editor Larry Jordan at the National Association of Broadcasters' big meeting this week in Las Vegas, and the company revealed some of the new features coming to a future version of Final Cut Pro X later on this year. First and foremost, Jordan was told that Final Cut Pro X is what Apple is working on -- these are new features for FCP X, there is no Final Cut Pro 8 on the horizon. In other words, for editors looking to use Final Cut Pro, this what you're getting.

New editing features
Final Cut Pro X offers an abundance of new editing features designed to let you add and connect clips throughout your project, streamline complex segments of your timeline, refine edits, and test out alternate takes.

The new Magnetic Timeline, a trackless canvas for editing footage, lets you add and arrange clips wherever you want, as other clips automatically slide out of the way. Clip Connections facilitates links between primary clips and secondary elements—such as titles and sound effects—so they stay in sync when you move them. The Compound Clips feature goes further by letting you group related story elements into a unit that you can edit as a single clip.

The Precision Editor enables editing in the timeline by expanding your view of an edit point so you can see used and unused portions of your clips. You can then skim clips and adjust edit points with a click. The Auditions feature provides a one-click visual way to test alternate shots.

Final Cut Pro X: The Other Many Negatives

FCPX is not an upgrade, but completely different software. An editor who is used to all of the functions of the older versions now has to re-learn everything.

There's no "reconnect media" function, which is used when one of your files doesn't import correctly or the file name has changed, and you can easily go back and locate it.

No OMF or XML export.

No multi-camera editing.

They've also removed a ton of third-party support for various effects

The color correction isn't very good.

FCPX has a bunch of effects that seem cool, but can't be changed much in any way.

ASF: Advanced Systems Format

ASF stands for Advanced Systems Format, it's Microsoft's proprietary digital audio/digital video container format, especially meant for streaming media. The most common file types contained within an ASF file are Windows Media Audio (WMA) and Windows Media Video (WMV). Note that the file extension abbreviations are different from the codecs which have the same name. When an ASF file is played back, content is delivered to you as a continuous flow of data. You no longer have to wait for the whole video and audio file fully download before you start to view them. As a result, this file format is specially designed to run on networks.

Advanced Streaming Format is an open file format specification for streaming multimedia files containing text, graphics, sound, video, and animation. Advanced Streaming Format (ASF) does not define the format for any media streams within the file. Rather, it defines a standardized, extensible file container that is not dependent on a particular operating system or communication protocol, or on a particular method (such as HTML or MPEG 4) used to compose the data stream in the file. An ASF file consists of three objects: a Header object containing information about the file itself, a Data object containing the media streams, and an optional Index object that can help support random access to data within the file. The ASF specification has been submitted to the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) for consideration. A number of programs capture this file extension.

How to play .ASF files on Mac OS X?

A solution is VLC. It plays a wide variety of video formats, including VCDs and DVDs.

Another solution is MPlayer, which plays a wide variety of formats. It's still under development and has some rough edges, so at this point VLC is a better choice.

VLC media player (also known as VLC) is a highly portable free and open-source media player and streaming media server written by the VideoLAN project. It is a cross-platform media player, with versions for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, BeOSMorphOS, BSD, Solaris, iOS, and eComStation.
VLC media player supports many audio and video compression methods and file formats, including DVD-video, video CD and streaming protocols. It is able to stream over computer network and to transcode multimedia files.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX10 digital camera review

The Sony TX10 is to rugged cameras what Scarlett Johansson is to moviemaking — it's all about the looks. Normally, anyone who is remotely interested in aesthetics will steer well clear of tough cameras as they're all as hideous as can be. The TX10, however, turns this preconception on its head with its stylish exterior.
Like the camera that this supersedes, the TX5, the TX10 couples a slide-down front panel with a 3-inch touchscreen at the back. There are only a few (tiny) physical buttons to be found, including the shutter and power button combination at the top, offset by the miniature zoom rocker on the side. A playback button and video record button can be found just beneath these main controls. The front sliding panel is a bit petulant, only wanting to move down when it's pushed from a certain angle. Behind it is a 4x optical zoom Carl Zeiss-branded lens, with a maximum aperture range of f/3.5-4.6, as well as a stereo microphone for 1080i HD video recording.
The touchscreen has plenty of the features that one would expect, including touch-to-focus and a double tap in playback mode to zoom-in on an image. Featuring Sony's Exmor R sensor, this backlit CMOS is the same variety as found on many other Cyber-shot cameras, allowing for quick continuous shooting and good low-light performance. The TX10 can shoot in 4:3 (full 16.2-megapixel resolution) or 16:9 (12-megapixel resolution).
Videography features
Format:
MPEG-4
AVCHD
H.264
Microphone: Stereo
Resolutions: 1920 x 1080 (60 fps), 1440 x 1080 (30 fps), 1280 x 720 (30 fps), 640 x 480 (30 fps)
Pros:
Sony tradition of quality pictures and video. Haven't used the extreme features yet such as underwater photography but I like the compact design that easily fits in your pocket. Takes great pictures in low lighting.
Cons:
Getting use to touch screen sometimes a little sensitive.
Summary:
If your looking for a compact camera to take HD video and high quality pictures do so. But if u want a power house then u should look else where. Overall this is a great camera for the outdoors person or just to replace your older camera.

Learn something about Sony Handycam HDR-FX7

Sony has categorized the HDR-FX7 as a consumer camcorder, despite the very un-consumer MSRP of $3500 and a very prosumer design and manual control suite. Ah, were it only so that people shopped by imposed categories. Instead, of course, they shop by price, and Canon’s XH A1 makes a very persuasive contender at a mere $500 more. How can Sony compete? The FX7’s ClearVID CMOS sensors make a great impression in bright light, but under low light conditions the performance falls to pieces. The FX7 has a pleasing, portable feel and solid image controls, but the XH A1 offers a great deal more control and makes it more accessible. The XH A1 has a ton of great audio features and the Sony FX7… doesn’t, omitting XLR inputs and external audio level controls. We like the HDR-FX7 in itself. It comes from a good family, improving in some points over the HDR-FX1, and harkening back to the DCR-DVX2100 and even XV1000. But in a comparative, competitive market, it simply can’t hold a candle to its mainchallenger.

The good: Excellent overall video quality; responsive focus and zoom.

The bad: Menu navigation doesn't circle back; useless manual; anemic audio support.

The bottom line: The Sony Handycam HDR-FX7 is an excellent high-definition camcorder from a video perspective, but it's less satisfying if you're an audio control freak.

The video frame size in pixels including 720 x 480, 720 x 576, 704 x 480, 352 x 480 and the video frame aspect ratio is 4:3 or 16:9. The file suffix .mod is marked on camcorder but changed to .mpg or .mpeg while imported to computer.

Sony NEX-FS700E pro 4K camcorder incoming

Details of the Sony NEX-FS700E handheld camcorder have emerged, suggesting consumers will be able to enjoy a recording experience previously found only in specialist top-end devices. At least they will via a future upgrade. Initially we’re looking at full HD 1080p but the FS700E will eventually be able to capture 4K RAW footage via 3G-SDI.
Other highlights include the ability to record HD-quality video in up to 10x slow motion, or up to 40x in lower resolutions. Just think of the fun you can have with that. Your shooting prowess will be enhanced with easily interchangeable lenses thanks to the boxed-in E-mount, in addition to built-in HD filters - meaning your videos will give Hollywood a run for its money.
Save up to 99 different profile settings on to a memory card and you’ll have something for every occasion, come rain or shine. You can even share said 99 settings with your friends and colleagues: useful if you’re working on a collaborative project.
No official word on pricing or availability, though the internet is awash with rumours of a June arrival.
