Couldn’t make it to the National Association of Broadcasters Show (NAB) in Las Vegas this week? Don’t worry, we have you covered. 

Check out all of our coverage from NAB, and read below for everything you need to know from day three

Blackmagic Design Ursa Broadcast Camera, ATEM Television Studio Pro 4k & Pocket Cinema Camera 4k

The Ursa Broadcast Camera — named by Blackmagic as two cameras in one — includes 4K functionality as a field camera for ENG and programming work, and a professional studio camera. The unit includes a 2/3 inch sensor size when using 4K B4 mount, as well as a 12-pin broadcast connector for electronic control. The camera records onto regular SD cards and has a new extended video mode that comes with no use to color grade, as well as recording DNx145, DNx220X or ProRes. 

The ATEM Television Studio Pro 4K is a live production switchers for broadcast, professional and AV use, featuring two HD models with 4 SDI and 4 HDMI inputs, as well as an Ultra HD model with 8 12G-SDI inputs. Check out more information about the Studio Pro 4K here

The Pocket Cinema Camera 4k comes in a carbon fiber reinforced composite body and stays lightweight and portable. The unit includes both CFast and SD card recording, and a USB-C connection that lets you record onto an external drive. The backside of the camera holds a 5-inch touchscreen display, while the lens comes with a 4/3 size sensor, 13 stops of dynamic range and dual native ISO up to 25,600. 

Wescott Flex RGBW Mats and Flex Cine DMX Dimmer

Set to be released in Q3, the Wescott Flex RGBW Mats allow for a full-spectrum color selection, an increased-gauge wire, and a connector with improved durability. The Flex Cine DMX Dimmer allows for full control of the RGBW mats and controls any legacy (and upcoming) mats. The dimmer is Wi-Fi enabled, which lets you connect to outside apps, and has built-in color modes, and source matching capabilities. 

Aputure Lighting 

Starting with the Light Storm 120d II, the company unveiled their new video light, perfect for silent shooting. With a cool-to-the-touch LED, as well as a fan that keeps the unit running smoothly, it’s ideal for YouTubers and video recording. The Mark II is also 30 percent brighter than the 120d, and the controller box and adapter are now in one single unit. The company also announced their Leko Mount, Fresnel Mount X, Barndoors, Light Dome II, and Chimera softbox for the LS1, that will be coming later this year.
