Battery makers showing their remote power wares at NAB Show have addressed issues such as battery cell safety and HD/4G cameras' high-power demands.
Graham Sharp mounts an Anton Bauer Digital Series Battery onto a camera.
ANTON/BAUER introduced its Digital Battery and Performance Charger series, designed for the power needs of today's 4K camera setups. The batteries contain a digital filter that increases run time and extends the life cycle of the battery packs. New technology allows more accurate power status readings. The companion Performance Charger series charges up to four batteries at a time, and features an LCD touchscreen.
BLOCKBATTERY showed off its 2F1 universal battery system, with interchangeable mounts that allow one battery pack to be adapted for A/B, V-lock or direct mounts. Depending on the mount, the output voltage is either 28VDC or 14VDC. The 2FI-120 features a 4-LED fuel gauge and D-tap socket for mounts outputting 14VDC.
FREZZI showcased its FBL-240 on-camera professional battery, providing 240 Wh of power in a lightweight form-factor. It weighs 3.1 pounds, and can be purchased with either an A/B or V-lock mount. It can provide eight hours of run time to a 30- watt load.
IDX debuted four new Endura lithium ion V-Mount batteries to its Endura battery family, ranging from 73 Wh to 146 Wh. Each battery comes equipped with a D-Tap and a 4 Step Power Indicator LED. A new internal pack design for the batteries cradles each cell securely to enhance the reliability and safety of the battery.
Steven Manios Jr. with Manios Digital and Film loves his PAGlink stackable three-stud batteries.
PAG showed its PAGlink battery packs, which feature an innovative linking technology to allow two or more to be stacked together (up to a maximum of eight) to allow higher current and longer run times. Linking the batteries combines their capacities and allows for a high-current draw of up to 12 amps.
LIGHTING
This NAB Show saw more LED remote phosphor lighting fixtures. As the name remote phosphor in a professional cine an video lighting fixture suggests, the technology separates the light-producing LEDs themselves from the color producing phosphors, which are often in the form of a coating on a translucent panel placed in front of the LEDs. This not only separates the LEDs from the phosphors, but also allows switching color temperature rendering by interchanging the phosphor-coated panels. Remote phosphor is not possible (at least for now) in LED point-source lighting fixtures such as Fresnels.
AADYNTECH debuted its SpaceLight LED, a tungsten-balanced fixture with an output of 52 foot-candles at 25 feet. It draws less than 7 amps, and can be controlled locally using its menu-driven interface through a tethered, plug-in digital remote, or via DMX control through a lighting console.
ARRI unveiled its L5 LED Fresnel, the smallest fixture in its L-series line of LED lights. It's half the weight of ARRI's L7 Fresnel and provides all the features of its larger cousin, such as a color temperature range from 2,800 K to 10,000 K, green and magenta correction, hue selection, saturation control and on-board DMX.
BBS LIGHTNING showcased its remote phosphor Area 48 LED Soft Light, with multiple power options including an integrated battery that can be used with V-mount or gold-mount batteries or standard AC power. It also offers internal DMX 512 for remote control and flicker-free dimming. The company also showed its LED Force V LED Light Engine, engineered to upgrade existing Ellipsoidals to LED illumination in either daylight or tungsten color temperature.
CHIMERA introduced its 1x1 LED Lightbank, designed to mount and soften popular 1x1 LED panels. The Lightbank has a removable front face and comes with a speed ring with a 5/8-inch (16 mm) receiver. Also new from Chimera are the Lighttools EZ Soft Egg-Crate grids. A built-in tensioning frame holds the Soft Egg Crate in formation, ensuring maximum control over soft light for motion picture and still use.
CINEO unveiled its Maverick remote phosphor LED lighting fixture, designed to meet the needs of field production in a lightweight, DC-powered and weatherproof form factor. Like the rest of Cineo's fixtures, the Maverick utilizes interchangeable phosphor panels to provide a variety of color temperatures in one fixture.
COOL-LUX showcased its CL series of panel-type LED lighting fixtures, available in 3,200 K, 5,600 K and bi-color models. There are four different sizes in the CL series, ranging from an equivalent output of a 160-Watt tungsten fixture up to a 2,000- Watt equivalent fixture. CL500-series fixture is built with a heavy-duty aluminum frame and chassis, and has a rugged aluminum yoke with a dual 5/8-inch adapter that can be used on conventional light stands or overhead mounts.
DEDOLIGHT introduced its largest focusable LED lighting fixture, the DLED 12.1, available in both daylight and tungsten color balance, and featuring a beam angle range from 65 to 8 degrees. Use of Dedolight aspheric optics allows for its large focusing range, clean beam and smooth light distribution.
FLOLIGHT invited its booth visitors to build their own lighting kits. Expanding on the company's own preconfigured kits, customers can choose from more than 800 possible permutations, mixing of spot and flood fixtures into a custom kit. Included in these kits are free 8-foot light stands and a carrying bag.
Frezzi's Kevin Crawford (R) describes features of the EyLight for Government Video's Bob Kovacs.
FREZZI debuted its EyLight, a professional camera light with an internal quick-swap rechargeable battery that delivers sustainable power to traditional tungsten and LED lamps in a compact all-in-one design.
HIVE presented its BEE Plasma Flood, a 276-watt daylight fixture, termed adjustable daylight because its color
