Revolutionary fuel cell technology is currently being tested for broadcast cameraadaptation, and will hopefully make battery packs a thing of the past. What's thedifference between a battery and a fuel cell? A battery merely stores electrons,but fuel cells make them. In addition, a standard rechargeable brick battery runsfor about two hours, whereas N-Gen can last four to five hours before needing arefill. Fuel cells are faster, too: a brick battery takes about six hours to recharge,up to six times longer than it takes to refill an N-Stor canister. This means thattelevision camera operators will be able to replace three inefficient six-poundbrick batteries with one highly efficient N-Gen system at a total of seven pounds. http://www.yubanet.com/artman/publish/article_48392.shtml

Markertek customer STS is pleased to announce the addition of a new hybrid C/Ku-band HD truck to its state-of-the-art fleet of satellite uplink trucks. The new truck hasthe combined capabilities of two complete satellite trucks. It features a 4.6-meter C-band dish and a separate, 1.8-meter Ku-band dish.

STS President Charles Spoto says the new dual-band truck will be especially useful atspecial events where both C-band and Ku-band are needed because “you don’t havethe expense of two trucks traveling to that location.”

“We’ll be able to put up four digital paths at once, where with a normal truck you usuallyonly have two,” says Spoto. He notes that the reduced costs of space and parking willbe an added benefit to customers.

The new one-of-a-kind truck — designed by the technical crew at STS and built byFrontline Communications of Florida — can deliver high-definition (HD), standard MPEG-2 and analog transmissions. The truck is set up to deliver C-band event broadcasts in HDor standard definition, as well as satellite news gathering.

The C-band antenna is a dual-offset reflector with rapid-deployment mount assembly, likethe Ku-band transportables on the other two STS trucks. The C-band reflector is made of precision dual-skin monocque with aluminum feed supports and base mounts. This results in superior stiffness and high performance under wind-loading conditions. The antenna, which is designed to military specifications, is the highest-quality C-band transportable available.Check out www.satellitetechsys.com for more on these amazing rigs.

As Presenting Sponsor, Markertek was proud to share in the success of the WFF's bestyear to date, featuring some of the industry's best talent in directing, producing and acting.

Markertek was also pleased to showcase its continued focus and support of digital cinematography.Many of the feature films were crafted purely in the digital domain, most notably The Orange Thief (Winner of Best Editing for Feature Narrative), shot digitally and edited in Apple's Final Cut Pro.

Markertek Sets Motorcycle National Speed Record at Bonneville Salt Flats!How did a broadcast supply house set a national speed record? Well, Mark, owner/founder

of Markertek, happens to be a motorcycle enthusiast, and he and some friends have amotorcycle (BMW, Ducati, Jawa, British bikes, new and vintage) club that meets onTuesday nights. Last March, they caught ‘World’s Fastest Indian’ starring AnthonyHopkins at a little movie theatre in Rosendale, NY. Thus inspired, club members ScottKolb and Chris Bernard approached Mark about fabricating a 100%-custom

streamliner motorcycle, and entering it in the world motorcycle speed trials at BonnevilleSalt Flats in Utah in September—only five months later! Could it be done?

It could! In short, on September 4, 2006, they broke the national land speed record fora partial streamliner motorcycle with a 100%-custom frame in the 125cc class at 119.368miles per hour. The previous record was set in 1978 at 115 miles per hour.

What’s their secret? Mark says “it was true Markertek ‘get-it-done’ philosophy, pairing brilliant shoptechnology with plenty of coffee. And TecNec gaffers tape.”

Other highlights from the event included the fastestmotorcycle record, set by seven-time AMA flat-trackchampion Chris Carr at 354 mph out and a return speed of347 mph in the Bub Streamliner.

Some Markertek customers were on the flats as well:Speedvision, Discovery Channel (Biker Build-Off) anduplink buddy Dave Garbutt from Wild Hare Satellite.www.wildharesat.com

Markertek will be backnext year to

break another record!

Are you a QuickTime Pro 7 user? If so, you may not be aware of a cool time-saving feature that's "flown under the radar"... until now! QuickTime Pro 7 provides theability to record audio or video directly to a QuickTime file. If you just need a quick capture, you won't need to use a third-party application to make it happen. Youcan go Pro at Apple’s web site for just $29.99. Simply connect your camera or mic, and launch QuickTime Pro. Pull down the File menu, and choose "New Movie Recording"or "New Audio Recording", and a new preview window will open. Click the red "Record" button on the bottom, and away you go! Go Pro, and you will be able torecord faster than you can say "Podcast"!

Problem: I have noticed that some DV devices output black level at 0 IRE. I am accustomed to the black level of video at 7.5 IRE. When I edit footage from broadcastequipment the black is set at 7.5. When I mix it with DV footage where the level is 0 IRE, I have a mismatch. What is the best way to deal with this?Solution You can use a transcoder which allows the black level to be set at 7.5 IRE. The LAIRD LTM-6000D will work very well for this. If you have a transcoder thatkeeps the level at 0 IRE then you can pass the signal through any good Time Base Corrector and the black level will be added on the output.

Problem: I need a low cost solution to monitor my SDI signal while recording to my VTR.

Solution: What is needed here is a 'sniffer'. A sniffer is an industry term for a means to visually check the signal and make sure it is as desired. Delvcam makes a costeffective 7” dual LCD SDI/Composite Video rack-mount monitor (DELV-2LCD-7XLS). This 'sniffer' works perfectly for composite and SDI monitoring and is just $1395.99.

Many editors really appreciate the world of DV-based edit systems such as Avid Express and Vegas Video. These powerful NLE systems work on most PCs & Macs andallow a desktop approach to editing. There are situations when a project shot in SDI needs to be edited in DV for presentation and cost effective reasons. The solutionis a high quality signal transcoder such as the LAIRD LTM-6000D. This product will accept all analog and SDI signals and convert them to Firewire (IEEE1394) DVsignals. It handles audio and video in digital and analog formats. The 6000D also works as a stand-alone signal converter which smoothly works between the analogworld and digital.

Problem: I need to make a long run HDMI connection, but heard there is a limitation on HDMI cable lengths. What can I use to get good long distance HDMI cable runs?

Solution: The standard length is 5 meters or 15 feet. However, there are several manufacturers of HDMI cable extender products which will drive “long haul” HDMI cables.I would suggest you purchase them from a reputable distributor that has tested and confirmed their operations. An excellent piece is the Ocean Matrix Long Haul HDMI Repeater. Model number: OMX-HDMIREP. It works in-line, includes a power supply and typical extended run lengths are up to 150 feet.

Professional video editors will significantly benefit from a pair of products manufactured by Laird Telemedia.For those of you who don’t know Laird, they’ve been around for almost 40 years and have a stellar reputation as one of thetop manufacturers in the broadcast industry. We have seen significant sales and interest in the LTM-6000D broadcast specDV-SDI media converter and the LTM-ER4HD edit router. -Both are core products for any edit suite.

Converts SDI, DV, Component, Digital Audio and More

This one does it all and then some! Today’s studios and post houses are operating underall sorts of hybrid conditions between digital and analog. Many still have clients bringingin anything from mini-DV to Betacam to VHS. When it comes to signal conversion, Laird’sInertia is the answer! It has I/Os for SDI, FireWire, Component, S-Video and Composite inaddition to AES/EBU digital audio and 2-channel analog XLR audio.

A clever feature of the Inertia is its simultaneous outputs. There’s enough outputs on thisthing to sink a ship! No matter what you’re converting to and from, all outputs are alwayslive and there are two sets for each video format. We use this feature to make client DVDdubs while dumping out our master, and use another Inertia output to confidence-monitorthe process.

The LTM-ER4HD is a unique 4x1x4 NLE router. Select your audio, video, or RS422 independently or together to and from your NLE—we’ve even included full duplex RS422 machine control.

The ER4HD is passive, so whether you need to switch HD, SDI or analog video, the LTM-ER4HD will do the trick. It will not, however, convert signals. That’s where the LTM-6000D to the right comes in handy.

A Flexible, Semi-Rigid Wrappable Split Braided Sleeve!F6’s unique split, semi-rigid braided construction makes it the ideal solution forsituations where ease of installation is of primary importance. The lateral splitallows the tube to open up to accommodate a wide variety of bundling re-quirements, and the semi-rigid braid configuration simply closes around the en-tire installation without the need for any additional fasteners (velcro, tape,etc.) The 10 mil PET braid is lightweight, quiet and flexible. The 25% edge over-lap (at nominal diameter) allows coverage around inline plugs, connectors andsplices. F6 will bend to a tight radius without distorting or splitting open and,unlike full rigid tubing, will not impair or affect the flexibility of harnesses.
