Most of us were raised seeing media images of surveillance footage on the nightly news. From the Kennedy assassination to the Ray Rice debacle, recorded footage is as important historically as it is personally. But we are close to seeing the end of days when security cameras captured video in indecipherable, grainy black-and-white and the footage required hours or even days of sifting through. Recent advances in video surveillance technology have sparked a host of exciting innovations that have not only improved image resolution but have also

With its recent release of Media Composer 8.3, you can now edit and output native 4K footage. Prior to this release, working in 4K was only possible by importing your footage through Avid AMA, and working with lower-resolution versions of your footage. However, Avid has introduced its DNxHR codec to support 4K workflows. DNxHR comes in six flavors, from DNxHR LB (low bandwidth) all the way up to DNxHR 444 (Cinema Quality), allowing you choices in compression and

In the past five to six years, camera technology has advanced by leaps and bounds and, in that time, cinema-quality video has become significantly more accessible. Consider the Blackmagic Production Camera 4K. This camera has a Super-35mm-sized sensor with a global shutter, and it shoots 4K raw. Ten years ago, a camera with specs like that would cost more to rent for one day than to buy the Blackmagic Production Camera

As GoPro cameras continue to increase in resolution and quality, they have become more prevalent on professional video production sets. One of the reasons action cameras have become so popular is that they can, with the right accessory, be mounted virtually anywhere. While there is a plethora of accessories available for the GoPro, most are intended for sport, adventure, or casual applications, rather than for use with professional video equipment—just look at the all of the handlebar mounts, suction cups, and “selfie” poles flooding the

The widespread adoption of 4K video isn't a question of if but, rather, a mash-up of when and how. There are a handful of ways that we already consume the format. When you visit a modern movie theater, the odds are high that you’ll be screening a 4K digital video projection. Netflix, YouTube, and Vimeo are all experimenting with 4K streaming options—but most of us don't have the right kind of hardware to appreciate them. Premium 4K or Ultra

Large image sensors are among the most in-demand components of video cameras, and it's easy to see why. Relatively recent advances in image-sensor technology have allowed even advanced hobbyists to produce world-class footage. However, this is only half of the story. The recent popularity of interchangeable-lens camera systems is perhaps the single greatest factor driving our emerging creative freedoms.
"... with lens adapters, your creative options are practically limitless."
When it comes to choosing camera gear, lenses are one of your

Whether this trend is spurred by the design aspects of the cameras or by manufacturers advancing their capabilities, the end result is that mirrorless cameras can now deliver up to 4K video in a small, lightweight form factor that most DSLRs cannot match.
Evolving from their humble origins as consumer-oriented, point-and-shoot cameras,

Heading out on the road or flying across the country for a video project isn’t exactly a paid vacation (as much as I’d like it to be!). It usually means I need to streamline my kit in order fit it all into baggage, and I always cross my fingers and hope that I packed everything necessary. One of the heavier collections of items, and often bulky, tends to be the extra batteries and specialty chargers I’ve included for devices like GoPros, smartphones, monitors, external recorders and, of course, my cameras. I recently heard about the Power
