B4 to 35mm PL Adapter & Sony F3 viewfinder adapter: One of the big challenges we face today is trying to shoot "ENG Style" with all the new 35mm sensor cameras.  Sure these cameras make great images working off dollies, sliders and tripods, but it gets a little trickier when trying to follow live action and shooting off the shoulder.  One of the cooler items we picked up this year can help greatly with this.  It's an optical B4 2/3" lens to PL adapter which lets you make use of some great 2/3" HD lenses from Canon or Fujinon that have an integrated powered zoom motor.  This adapter only uses two stops of light and makes ENG shooting a breeze.  Viewfinders have also been a challenge in the brave new world of large sensor cameras.  One of the most popular of these cameras is the Sony F3.  Our latest adaptive solution will let you use a traditional Panasonic HD viewfinder with the F3 to ensure crisp focus and a more ergonomic way to work with the camera.

Teradek Cube Encoder/Decoder: Last year Ohio HD learned about the Teradek Cube and bought one to try.  At that point the technology was very new and we had to return it because the video latency was too long to be useful on set.  This year we gave the Teradek another try and it has proven to be amazing.  The Teradek is a box about the size of a deck of cards that mounts to the camera and connects to the SDI output.  It then encodes the signal and generates its own WiFi network.  In this configuration it can send a wireless signal to up to three Ipads with less than a 1/2 second delay.  It can also be setup to stream the video to clients in another part of the building or across the country.  We see all kinds of cool aplications for this device on the set.  The gaffer or the art director can have their own monitors for making quick lighting adjustments, and directors and clients are no longer stuck in video village.
