Overview of Participants at Cine Gear Expo in Atlanta, October 2024.
ZEISS Cinematography
- ZEISS CinCraft Scenario camera tracking system showcased as an LED wall installation with support from Form Studios
ZEISS CinCraft Scenario is a real-time camera tracking system that works both indoors and outdoors, on film sets, with green and blue screens, and in LED volumes. It utilizes natural markers, reflective markers, and even digital markers on LED screens. The system provides real-time camera tracking data and records it for post-production use.
- Supreme and Nano Prime lenses
ZEISS Nano Primes are the first high-speed (T1.5 throughout) cine lenses made specifically for mirrorless full frame cameras – initially available with Sony E-mount. These primes offer a pleasing, versatile look that is adaptable for an extensive range of shooting situations and a compact, lightweight design that makes them easy to use on any set or location. Available in six focal lengths (18mm, 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 75mm, 100mm), this matched set conveniently covers wide-angle to telephoto.
Chroma-Q
2inspire PoE Family – These compact, quiet fixtures deliver bright output and come in three sizes, with each fixture producing both adjustable studio-quality white light and pure theatrical-grade colors.
The 2inspire family includes three distinct models: 2inspire TM 100, 200, and 300, which boast light outputs of 500 lumens, 1200 lumens, and 3000 lumens respectively.
Each 2inspire TM fixture requires a single Ethernet cable for power and data, leveraging the latest advancements in Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology. This simplifies installation, reduces deployment costs, and maximizes efficiency.
2inspire TM was globally unveiled at the PLASA 2023 exhibition, held from September 3-5 at Olympia London.
A.C. Lighting, a Division of A.C. Americas
At the Banshee booth by Avenger Manfrotto Imagine More, a heavy-duty cinematic lighting solution was showcased. Its compact, foldable design makes it easy to transport, and the stand extends up to 3.4 meters (11.1 feet) and supports up to 120 kg (265 lbs).
Flanders Scientific, Inc.
Flanders Scientific, Inc., a specialist in professional display devices and color management systems, has unveiled its XMP Series QD-OLED displays. This new line of monitors offers high contrast, exceptional color accuracy, and superior off-axis imaging at lower prices and in larger sizes than previous professional HDR displays.
At the booth, Flanders is showcasing the 1000-nit XMP310 QD-OLED HDR Mastering Monitor.
The XMP310 is a 31.5-inch UHD HDR and SDR reference monitor, utilizing the same QD-OLED panel technology as the 55-inch XMP550, with a peak brightness of 1000 nits, a 1.5 million:1 contrast ratio, and an exceptionally wide color gamut.
Historically, achieving display consistency between 31-inch master displays and larger-format screens has been challenging due to the use of different display technologies. However, the XMP310 (31.5-inch), XMP550 (55-inch), and XMP650 (65-inch) overcome this challenge by utilizing the same advanced QD-OLED panel technology and color management system. This ensures exceptional compatibility across various monitoring environments.
From production to post-production, these matching reference displays allow operators, IT specialists, editors, colorists, and clients to focus more on creative work and less on display matching challenges.
