BVE

At BVE 2016 we stopped by the Global Distribution stand to check out their latest Shape accessories and shoulder rigs for the Sony FS7 and FS5. In addition we take a look at the Shape cage for the Atomos Shogun 4K recorder featuring Shape's push-button technology and handles.

BVE 2016 isn't all about cameras, and even though they are everywhere simply because manufacturers have to use them to display their accessories whether it be wireless solutions, lenses or monitors. We stopped by the TV Logic and Holdan booths where we saw a few new models that might be of interest to some of you.

At BVE 2016 we had a chance to check out the latest product release from Convergent Design - the Apollo multicamera recorder/switcher, which can record up to 4 Full HD streams from 4 cameras and record into industry standard 10bit Apple ProRes codec on SSD drives for a quick turnaround. The Apollo can also be used as a video switcher for live events saving you a lot of money and eliminating the need for large and bulky pieces of equipment.

At BVE 2016 we had a chance to stop by the Panasonic booth and see the first trade showing of the new Varicam LT 4K lightweight camera as well as the brand new Litepanels Astra 1x1 Bi-Color Soft.

We love the last week of February, as it's the one time of the year where the UK broadcast video industry gets together for Broadcast Video Expo. Bigger and better than ever, BVE 2015 was once again held at the London Excel centre in East London, where major and independent brands from all over the UK and Europe, dealer, and tens of thousands of video professionals and enthusiasts from all walks of life got a rare chance to get their hands on the latest video and audio kit.
