The live broadcast of the program “360 Seconds. Broadcast News & Commentary” took place on December 11, 2023.
Hosts: Philip Grossman, host and co-producer at Visionaries; Mary Ann Seidler, owner of First Light Media and consultant for multiCAM Systems and Telos Alliance; and Maria Kholodova.
Maria: Freefly has updated its high-speed Ember camera, introducing post-capture stabilization in the Ember app. This feature, requiring firmware and app updates, offers customizable stabilization with an accompanying image crop. So, Philip, can you talk to us about this really quickly?
Philip: Yes. This Ember camera is quite a unique, niche product. It’s a high-speed camera capable of 400 and 600 frames per second. Adding post-capture stabilization is an interesting move. Initially, I was skeptical because it’s post stabilization, meaning they’re just capturing raw data off the sensor. However, this approach does make sense, as it can provide unique perspectives not previously possible with high-speed cameras. Typically, high-speed cameras have always been used on tripods; you don’t really move them around. But now, this feature allows for some handheld applications. It will be fascinating to see how this camera is used in the broadcast and cinema markets. Alright, great.
