  • 69 IASA RESEARCH GRANT REPORT: a STUDY on the CHANGING PRICES of AUDIOVISUAL DIGITIZATION, 2006–2015 Rebecca Chandler, Avpres
    ARTICLE IASA RESEARCH GRANT REPORT: A STUDY ON THE CHANGING PRICES OF AUDIOVISUAL DIGITIZATION, 2006–2015 Rebecca Chandler, AVPreserve, USA Introduction Over the past five years in the United States and Europe there has been a decisive decline in the cost of digitization, resulting in historically low prices. This has been due to a variety of rea- sons, ranging from innovation to marketplace competition. With a shortening window of time in which to act, this economic advantage has been a boon to organizations with holdings of legacy audiovisual media. This is widely recognized and discussed among managers and budget holders within organizations. However, what has not been evaluated effectively is whether or not we are currently in a digitization market bubble. We hypothesize that obsolescence, degradation, and market factors will begin to place the cost of digitization back on an upward trajectory. What we do not know is how the curve will look. Our experience indicates that organizations are unwilling to believe that prices will increase at the same rate that they decreased, or that they will ever again reach even 50% of what they were just five years ago. However, these discussions are often emotionally-driven and take place without a well-laid foundation of data from which to judge. With the support of an IASA Research Grant, we set out to design a project that would begin to amass a shared and computable dataset that can help us ask questions and provide projections about our hypothesis. The goal of this project is to quantify and chart in detail the historical pricing trends for digitization over the past 10–15 years.

    XDCAM EX Family XDCAM EX Camcorder PMW-350 PMW-EX3 PMW-EX1R XDCAM EX Recording Deck PMW-EX30 XDCAM EX Series – Comprehensive Line-up Opens New Horizons of Visual Expression, Delivers New Levels of Convenience Since 2007 and the introduction of the first camcorder in this line-up, the SONY XDCAM EX™ Series has achieved wide acclaim among creative professionals, and now grows from strength to strength, opening up new horizons of visual expression and delivering new levels of convenience. The series already includes two outstanding camcorders – the PMW-EX1 and PMW-EX3 – which realize full-HD pictures of amazingly high quality by adopting three 1/2-inch-type “Exmor™” full-HD CMOS sensors in a compact body. An advanced workflow, based on “SxS PRO™” memory card as the recording media, ensures effective file-base operation. Now Sony evolves this XDCAM EX line-up with the introduction of two new camcorders. The PMW-350 is the first and long-awaited shoulder camcorder in the family. It comes equipped with the cutting-edge imaging technology of three 2/3-inch-type “Exmor” full-HD CMOS sensors, and it uses SxS memory card as the recording media. The other new camcorder is the PMW-EX1R, the direct successor of the PMW-EX1. It includes as standard an SD recording and playback function, as well as numerous improvements over the PMW-EX1. Both new camcorders support not just SxS PRO memory card but also more affordable “SxS-1™” media. There is also an innovative on-site backup solution with PXU-MS240 – enhancements which improve workflow and expand user convenience.

  • For Immediate Release Sony Introduces Smallest And
    For Immediate Release For further information: Peter White, +61 411 248 416 [email protected] Behind The Screens PR Anthony Kable, +61 2 9887 0422 [email protected] Sony Australia Limited Sony introduces smallest and lightest XDCAM camcorder new PMW-100 XDCAM HD422 handheld camcorder delivers on performance and mobility Sydney – 3 April, 2012: Sony introduces the full-featured yet light and compact PMW-100 handheld cam- corder. The PMW-100 joins the ever popular XDCAM HD422 line-up - making it the smallest and lightest camera in the XDCAM family. Advancement in digital imaging technology has enabled professional journalists and videographers to cover stories by using portable devices such as cell phones, DSLRs, and consumer camcorders. However, when compared to mainstream shoulder mount camcorders, there is still a significant gap in image quality, ease of editing and data management. The PMW-100 achieves the best of both worlds, by recording full broad- cast quality MPEG HD422 video within a hand-held form factor. Equipped with a newly developed 1/2.9-inch “Exmor” CMOS sensor, it delivers excellent picture perform- ance and also achieves a minimum illumination of 0.08lx. Featuring a 5.4-54mm (40-400mm in 35mm equivalent) zoom lens, the versatile PMW-100 allow users to work in virtually any production environment where mobility and flexibility is highly valued. “The PMW-100 combines exceptional picture fidelity with portability and outstanding manoeuvrability based on the proven XDCAM workflow, taking professional users to a whole new level of productivity. The development of the PMW-100 is a natural step in the progression of the XDCAM range, and is a direct re- sponse to our customers’ and long-time XDCAM users’ requests for a light and compact camera that will not only work seamlessly on its own, but also alongside other XDCAM cameras such as the acclaimed PMW-500,” said Anthony Kable, Product Manager at Sony Australia and New Zealand.

The XDCAM Series utilizes optical disc media, otherwise known as Professional Disc™ media, with state-of-the-art blue violet technology for recording. The XDCAM’s disc-based recording offers users a number of tremendous benefits such as split-second random-access capability, no overwriting on existing footage, and network capability. The Professional Disc media itself is highly robust, reliable, inexpensive, and reusable – ideal for practical day-to-day operations. This media is also extremely flexible, and overcomes the limitations of proprietary footprints, thus enabling XDCAM devices to record a wide assortment of data such as MPEG IMX™ and DVCAM™ format video, metadata, and low-resolution versions of footage onto a single disc. Since its introduction, the XDCAM Series of products for SD programming has been widely adopted by many different users all over the world, from broadcasters and production facilities to professional sports teams and corporations. Sony has been continuously enhancing the functions available on its current products, as well as developing new products to fulfill the customers’ diverse operational requirements. The latest XDCAM system offers a variety of powerful functions such as enhanced clip operations, high- resolution clip viewer software, and plug-in software for Apple Final Cut Pro nonlinear editing systems.
