You may recall that a few months ago, Sony released the highly anticipated Firmware 8.0 for their Sony PMW-F5 and Sony PMW-F55 cameras. However, it is worth nothing that unlike conventional previous firmware updates this firmware is serial numbers specific meaning that certain F5 and F55 cameras within a serial number range cannot perform the upgrade.
Blackmagic Design Camera 4.0 Update is now officially released. Camera 4.0 is a major update to the user interface of the URSA Mini and much more. Thanks to Camera 4.0, the user experience with the URSA Mini 4K and 4.6K is completely overhauled giving users more intuitive and simplified access to the camera parameters.
The Video Assist monitor/recorders from Blackmagic Design go from strength to strength with the latest firmware update version 2.2, which adds an MXF wrapper for DNxHD and the 4K DNxHR codecs on the Video Assist 4K, as well as false colour for assisting camera operators with exposure. The firmware also adds improvements to the focus assist peaking with the addition of more colours - Red, Green, Blue and White.
