Creative Cloud Updates, Panasonic's Latest Addition and TV Logic!

New Updates from Adobe for CC Users
 
Love it or hate it, Adobe's Creative Cloud looks like it's here to stay and the fact that Creative Cloud subscriptions exceeded one million users earlier this year speaks for itself.
 
That's over one million users who will be pleased to hear that Adobe have just announced over 150 new features for Creative Cloud (now that's something you won't be getting with a boxed product!)
 
The new features which were announced at IBC in September affect all the favourites such as Premiere Pro CC and After Affects CC, and include enhanced support for 4K workflows, new mask tools in After Affects and SpeedGrade, GoPro support in Prelude and powerful upscaling tools to name a few. Other updates also include a range of performance enhancements, the result of which is a greatly improved user experience.

Now Shipping: Panasonic's New AG-AC8EJ
 


Panasonic's AG-AC8EJ
Another announcement at this year's IBC was Panasonic's AG-AC8EJ and we're pleased to be able to say that this latest offering is now shipping.
 

Priced at just over £1000.00 (ex vat) it's fair to say that this is one of Panasonic's budget cameras but don't let that put you off. This model is a lightweight shoulder mounted unit packed full of features and offers excellent value for money - ideal for anyone looking to purchase their first camera or take a step up from the world of small form-factor consumer camcorders.  This model is also fully compatible with Eye-Fi Wi-Fi SD cards which means recorded files can be transferred to a PC via a wireless network!

TV Logic Monitors - Now Online!
 


Here at Planet PC we're updating our website with great new products all the time and this week has been no different. Fans of TV Logic will be pleased to hear that we've recently added some of their excellent monitors to our website so if you haven't already done so get yourself over to www.planetdv.net and have a look. TV Logic's fantastic range caters for a wide range of applications and includes portable field monitors, rack-mounted units and specialist grading monitors. They've also got a rather nice looking 56" 4K display (although the price tag is just a little bit higher than the resolution!)

metaSETZ tally systems now available!

Here at Planet PC we're pleased to announce that we are now stocking tally systems by metaSETZ!

Based in the US, metaSETZ produce an excellent range of tally systems primarily for use with NewTek's Tricasters (although they have also recently added support for Livestream's Studio switchers).

This is great news for Tricaster users looking for an affordable tally solution but even more so for those running a Tricaster 40 due to the fact that the TC40 has never had tally functionality until now.

The importance many place on tally is not to be underestimated and the fact that metaSETZ's tally systems are TC40 compatible is also very good news for prospective Tricaster owners - especially those who feel tally is essential for their productions. These are people who may have reluctantly dismissed the TC40 in the past or simply just don't have the budget for one of the TC40's bigger brothers.

There are many who wouldn't believe the TC40 could get any better but we think it's fair to say that metaSETZ has helped make it even more attractive, and we're confident this will open doors for many looking to take the next step in live production.

What's more is that metaSETZ's tally systems also feature an intercom pass through which means both tally and intercom can run on a single Cat5 cable run which is great news - because when it comes to cables, less is definitely more.

metaSETZ currently produce three models - the TLC-4S, TLC-8S and TLC-8D and between them they are compatible with the full range of Tricasters. The tally lights (TL2) are purchased separately from the base units and all are available via the Planet PC website at www.planetdv.net.

For more information visit the metaSETZ website at www.metasetz.com or alternatively give our friendly sales team a call on 01274 713400.

Thinking about purchasing a TC40? Now you have no excuse!
