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. 

Using the DJI OSMO Pocket as a camera

This DJI Osmo pocket camera is great for  video at upto 4K, but it is also a great little digital camera as well. Its size smaller than a phone camera, allows it to be used where other cameras can't and with excellent quality too.

Live-streaming beats Corona virus COVID-19

The corona virus may be winning but you can fight back with live-streaming. Much of business can be done with emails but live streaming and web conferencing especially using an ATEM can defeat  even the toughest virus.

Snatoms X

The new version of Snatoms arrived on my doorstep. Better shapes - not just tetrahedral bonding, but most banding shapes are now available. More Atom types with Bromine, Six sided Sulfur and 5 sided Phosphorus and a couple of Alkali metals. The bonding is much improved being much stronger.
