Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K reduced in Price

I see that just having bought my second Blackmagic 4K  for broadcast work, the 6K has just come down in price. Does this mean that I should start saving for the arrival of an 8K version and for more lenses.

Two Atems

Now I have two atems, I have set my Son the job of designing and building a stand to hold the two atems together, so he is working on Solidworks to design a stand and hopefully we can build this on the 3-D printer The two ATEMS work seamlessly together and allow us to  have more cameras in two banks working on either the direct teaching , or on the experiments we are doing in another part of the room.

Blackmagic ATEM Pro

This arrives today to improve our streaming capability.  With its built in encoder we can do without the laptop, save the recordings to hard drive as we go and daisy chain the ATEM Mini to this to increase our HDMI camera capability.

Blackmagic ATEM Mini Upgrade

We have managed to upgrade our Blackmagic Atem mini, Pocket Cinema Camera 4K (PCC4K) and Hyperdeck today The new functionality has come at a great time to improve our live-stream capability. With HDMI having a data line the Atem mini can now manipulate all the features and functions of the PCC4K, meaning that all the setting up can be done at the switcher/ over the network giving the producer remote control of the camera allowing social distancing. The On Air or Tally feature will be invaluable as it mean that can operate as a live broadcaster without requiring the £££.

The next thing we now need to do is to produce all the graphics and effects that are associated with a more higher quality production.
