They're also more comfortable to wear than anything I've experienced before, plus they're extremely strong. The 410 can also carry up to a 15.4'' laptop, and the 610 can carry up to a 17'' laptop. Both can carry a tripod externally and be connected to an optional "trolly" if you want to wheel it around.KD-MSWCAT8X8 / 4X4KD-BBTX / RX* Supports all SD, HD, and VESA (VGA, SVGA, XGA, WXGA, SXGA, UXGA, WUXGA) resolutions up to 1080p (60Hz & 50Hz)KD-MSVA4X4ProAzden SMX-20 Stereo Mic (MSRP $200)* Capable of switching RGBHV signals by utilizing Left and Right Audio connections for H & V signals.* Front LED's indicate the selected Source and Input/Output statusKD-MSCAT8X8 is a Video/Audio Matrix Switcher capable of switching up to 8 Component/VGA Video Sources/Inputs to 8 independent Zones/Outputs via CAT5/6/7 with Analog or Digital PCM Audio and is also available as a 4X4.* Serial IR, Optical IR, Front Panel Control, Discrete Remote Codes, and RS-232.

Every other booth had one, and they all look the same to me. Granted, my perspective on this issue is different from that of EventDV readers who have taken the DSLR plunge; for the type of work I do, for various reasons, DSLRs don't match my workflow. I do plan to purchase a Micro 4/3 or Super 35mm model this year but most likely in a traditional camcorder configuration. If, for some reason, I do need a rig, I may make one in my garage.Wednesday, 6/15/2011 02:30 PM - 04:00 PM Room W221A* SD & HD: 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p VESA / VGA (RGBHV): From 640x480p up to 1920x1200pThere are several places the HERO would come in handy for event shooters. I could see placing them in chuppahs, altars, or venues where you have restricted access. The only downside is that the HERO isn't a low-light performer. If you keep that in mind and use it accordingly, you'll be able to get amazing results.KD-MSA8X8ProKey Features:KD-MSWCAT8X8 / 4X4* Enables the use of less expensive CAT5/6/7 cabling for HDMI/DVI signal distributionWednesday, 6/15/2011 02:30 PM - 04:00 PM Room W221A* Video, Audio, IR and RS-232 distribution via a single CAT5 cableJoin Mike Tsinberg, holder of 40 Video Patents and Owner of Key Digital, for an in-depth discussion on the consultant specified, field-proven HDMI technologies performing in commercial A/V systems today and how to make HDMI plug and play for proven and reliable Custom Digital Video systems.

That said, there were some interesting production accessories.* Inputs support Analog Balanced/Unbalanced and Digital Coaxial PCM audio (48KHz)* Full independent matrix switching of Video and Audio* CAT5 pass-through ports for incremental expansion to up to 48x48 or 40x56KD-MSVA4X4ProNew products to be showcased at InfoComm 2011:* Full support for HDCP, HDMI 1.3a/b and 3D* Audio Toggle Switch for Analog / Digital Audio Selection* Independent Audio format configurations are supported at each output* Allows extension of HDMI signals distances that standard HDMI cables cannot achieve* 1080p/60 signals up to 150 feet, 1080p/24 signals up to 250 feet over a single CAT5/6/7 cableBlackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio (MSRP $995)This is the one you've been hearing about, the new sub-$6,000 interchangeable-lens Sony camera with the Super 35mm Exmor CMOS Sensor that many say might hit the sweet spot for shooters in our industry who want the DSLR look without the DSLR. It records to Memory Stick or SDHC cards. You can use many types of lenses, some requiring adapters. The form factor is a big box with a flat form factor and a flip-up LCD screen. It comes with the same short shotgun mic found on the Sony Z7 and S270.* Transmits (KD-BBTX) and receives (KD-BBRX) HDMI Video, HDMI Audio, Digital or Analog Audio, IR and RS-232 over a single CAT5/6/7 cable* Bi-Directional and Simultaneous IR and RS-232* Video, Audio, IR and RS-232 distribution via a single CAT5 cable up to 1,000 ft* Full Audio control per output for volume, treble, bass, balance, and lip-sync from analog or digital sourcesKey Digital will be hosting our Annual InfoComm Texas Hold'em Poker Tournament for the Pros.

Without the optional LCD, this tiny 1080p camera is about the size of a three-pack of miniDV tapes. The camera records to internal flash memory. The cameras all come in a waterproof case. This same camera is used to capture underwater shots in the hit show Deadliest Catch.Kata Fly-By-74PL/76PL Organizer Bags (MSRP $239.99/$329.99)* Independent or simultaneous muting of Video and Audio* Inputs support L/R Analog and PCM Coaxial Digital Audio and can convert Analog to Digital or Digital to Analog with full Audio control.KD-BBTX / RXCome Play with the Pros!* Full integration with Key Digital KD-VACRX and KD-VACWPRX or KD-CVARX Balun productsFor more information and to ensure you’re signed up for this fun event, please go to http://www.keydigital.com/UpCommingEvents_.aspxHDMI/DVI Video, Analog & Digital Audio Smart Balun(TM) with Control over single CAT5/6/7 Transmitter / ReceiverKata Pro-V-410/610 Backpacks (MSRP $467)This can be very useful to live event producers. It's hard to believe that I paid almost the same as ATEM's $995 MSRP for an S-Video/ Composite Videonics MX-1 switcher 15 years ago. This model will be available in July and could give NewTek's TriCaster a run for its money, even if you need to add some HDMI-to-HD-SDI converters.Please join us for another year of exciting new products and surprises at this years InfoComm 2011 at the Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, FL, June 15th – 17th* Serial IR, Optical IR, Front Panel Control, Discrete Remote Codes, and RS-232.
