New GoPro Protune with Technicolor CineStyle Color Profile

GoPro Partners with Technicolor to Incorporate CineStyle into GoPro’s new Protune Firmware for HD HERO2 at NAB 2012

GoPro and Technicolor announced yesterday at the NAB 2012 Show in Las Vegas they have worked to embed Technicolor’s CineStyle™ color profile for the debut of the new GoPro Protune (a free firmware upgrade available for the HD HERO2 camera, available this summer).

Certified by Technicolor, and developed by GoPro, the Protune mode firmware upgrade is a significant development for the professional production and post-production market, which incorporates Technicolor color science into GoPro’s latest product launch. These new features combine to allow professional filmmakers a vastly improved and flexible workflow for seamless integration with other source material and post-production platforms.

Key features of the GoPro Protune mode include:

- 24fps frame rate, enabling GoPro HERO2 content to be easily intercut with other sources without a frame rate conversion;

- 35Mbps data rate for the industry’s highest quality compressed image with virtually zero artifacts;

- Neutral color profile, allowing for greater flexibility in a color correction workflow;

- Log curve encoding, offering more detail in shadows and highlights;

- Reduced sharpening and noise reduction for improved flexibility in professional post- production and color design workflows.

“GoPro Protune mode is an extraordinary development for the entire professional production market – from filmmakers, cinematographers and DITs, to editors and colorists who are increasingly relying on the HERO2 for cinematic productions,” said David Newman, senior director of software engineering for GoPro. “Developing this with Technicolor has provided us with a level of technological expertise that optimizes Protune for the professional market. Filmmakers are making critical decisions every day on the tools they’ll invest in for their cinematic productions, and we are confident our collaboration with Technicolor makes their decision that much easier.”

“Technicolor is thrilled to make its color science available to GoPro throughout its Protune upgraded firmware,” stated Technicolor’s Alejandro Guerrero, senior vice president, Technicolor Digital Productions. “With more than 130,000 (and counting) cinematographers already using our CineStyle color profile, we are committed to expanding the CineStyle toolkit and are thrilled to support GoPro as it expands its market base.”

MUTEC 2010 Leipzig – Museums and the digital challenge

MUTEC 2010 - LEIPZIG - GERMANY
International Trade Fair for Museum and Exhibition Technology
18 - 20 November 2010

Germany is a country of museums: More than 8000 galleries and museums and constantly more than 100 million visitors per year during the last years have been an impressive proof.

However, the financial crisis and the state’s and the municipality’s need to economise do not leave this culturally and socially important sector unaffected and confront museums with the problem to offer exciting exhibitions in a modern and attractive area despite their short budgets.

At the MUTEC, 65 exhibitors show which investments museums can make to meet these requirements. The MUTEC 2010 will be in Leipzig from tomorrow, 18 November, to 20 November. Its central topics are Museum Architecture, Fittings and Scenography, Multimedia, Visitor Service, Data Management, Archiving and many more.

MUTEC 2010: MUSEUMS AND THE DIGITAL CHALLENGE

The show also focuses on the digital challenge. Numerous meetings and conventions proved: The topic is highly explosive and affects not only conventional industries but also politics, the media and the cultural sector.

The Digital Century makes museums face new challenges but it also offers new chances. Mulitmedia-based techniques increase the attractiveness of a visit to a museum and can quickly and smoothly provide background information. Immersive installations and 3D-systems can create a unique experience for the visitor. The new techniques impart knowledge by interactive information portals, make use of the possibility to attract and retain visitors through social networks such as facebook or twitter and build up virtual worlds and augmented realities for the generation Web 2.0 and the digital natives – the visitors to the museum of the future. 

How can museums prepare for the digital society? Which possibilities are there, and which actions and initiatives are required not only to survive the competition of the internet, but to make use of own resources and  treasures? Which investments offer a sustainable solution? How do other institutions deal with these challenges and how can museums benefit from the possibilities of mobile marketing? Which part can museums play in this “new” world? The ancillary program of the MUTEC with the topic Museums and Digital Life will deal with these questions and show possible trends.

MUTEC 2010 is organized by Albrecht gmbh parallel to DENKMAL – European Trade Fair for Conservation, Restoration and Old Building Renovation.

Venue: Leipzig Exhibition Center – Leipziger Messe – Hall 2

Samsung SCH-S250 : 5-Megapixel Camera Phone

SAMSUNG Introduces World’s First 5-Megapixel Camera Phone : the SCH-S250

Samsung S250

(c) Samsung

Samsung Electronics unveils the world's first mobile phone (model: SCH-S250) equipped with a 5-megapixel camera. Just one year after the introduction of its first 1-megapixel camera phone and 3 months after its first 3.2-megapixel camera phone, Samsung proves its technological prowess again with this revolutionary product.

The CCD (charge-coupled device) camera and high-sensitivity flash allow the user to take the same quality pictures one gets from a top-end digital camera. Similar to Samsung's premium grade camera phones, the S250 can also function as a camcorder. The 92MB onboard memory can store up to 100 minutes of video (320x240), and a 32MB auxiliary memory is included as a standard feature. The shutter speed is as fast as 1/1,000 th of a second, allowing the user to film beautiful landscapes as well as subjects as close as 10 cm. The S250 can be connected to a TV to display video during shooting or to show footage that has already been recorded in the mobile phone.

The S250 comes with a unique “stretch” design, reminiscent of the futuristic phones seen in the movie The Matrix . The high-quality camera lens and LCD remain covered and protected when the phone is closed, and when it is stretched open, the product has the feel of a regular digital camera.

Samsung has also set a new standard in mobile phone display technology. Until now, mobile phones had been equipped with LCDs capable of 262,000-color resolution. The S250 boasts a QVGA TFD-LCD (Thin Film Diode-Liquid Crystal Display) that has previously been adapted only for top-end TVs and desktop monitors. The display can reproduce 16 million colors, over 60 times the color compared to existing mobile phone displays, all the hues found in nature; thus, QVGA resolution has been referred to as “true color.”

Samsung has also taken voice recognition to a higher level by introducing text-to-speech (TTS) conversion. Now the user can listen to incoming text messages or the prepared “to-do” list rather than having to read them.

The S250 supports high-image-quality games and 3D sound effects. If a call is received in the middle of a game, the user can restore the game later and resume play.

Other advanced functions in the S250 include an MP3 player, mobile banking capability and 64-polyphonic sound.

According to President & CEO Kitae Lee of the Samsung Electronics, “Our development of a 5-megapixel camera phone will elevate the competitiveness of the Korean mobile phone industry. At the same time, I would like to see our technological advances contribute to the growth of the global mobile phone industry and create a more convenient way of life.”

President Lee adds, “It's very important to lead the trends through continuous introductions of innovative new products. Samsung Electronics possesses the world's leading technologies and state-of-the-art design capabilities, and we are committed to developing distinctive products for our customers.”

Samsung cooperated with the Japan-based Asahi Pentax, one of the most respected camera lens providers in the world, to develop a camera module customized for the mobile phone. This partnership began in the first-half of 2003.

The SCH-S250 will be available in the Korean market this October.

Samsung SPH- S2300 : 3,2 megapixels camera phone

SAMSUNG 3.2 megapixel Digital Camera Phone: the SPH- S2300 

Samsung S2300 Camera phone

Samsung unveiled its first 3.2 megapixel digital camera phone (SPH- S2300) with 3 times optical linear zoom today. The SPH-S2300 is the world’s first camera phone with optical linear 3X zoom.

Linear Zoom, an upgrade from the stage-type of non-linear zoom, allows users to zoom into subjects at a more precise magnification. Most digital cameras on the market have adopted this format to improve picture quality. By adopting a 3X linear zoom, as well as operations expected of a high quality digital camera, Samsung was able to raise the functionality of its camera phone to that of digital cameras.

Along with a 4X digital zoom, the S2300 can magnify pictures up to 12 times. It allows users to choose an image size from a maximum of 2,048 x 1,536 to a minimum of 640 x 480 and between an ISO setting of automatic, 100, 200 and 400. White balance can be used automatically or manually and a manual setting allows users to alter settings to accommodate weather and lighting.

Instead of a LED flash, a camera flash, whose brightness can be adjusted, is installed, allowing users to take pictures of subjects that are in darker settings with outputs that are similar to that of a digital camera. The S2300 also has an auto focusing function that allows the user to take pictures where the main image is in focus and the background out of focus to produce pictures that were only possible with manual focus cameras.

Like a high quality digital camera, the S2300 offers camcorder functions and a high quality microphone. Users are able to record images for more than 2 hours and with Samsung’s unrivaled TV-out function, they can connect the phone to a TV to view video and images directly through a TV.

Users are able to extend the memory capacity with a mini SD card, which can be used as a portable storage device when connected to the PC through a USB cable.

The phone adopts a design that salvages the special features of a digital camera. The front is designed like a digital camera with a zoom lens that projects up to 3 cm out of the device and boasts a hidden antenna (so called ‘intenna’ design). Because menu, zoom, shutter and ok buttons are arranged similar to a digital camera, users are able to operate the S2300 like a digital camera. The rear looks like a mobile phone with a slide-down panel that contains keys for functions, such as menu, send and ok, and covers two rows of dial buttons.

Kitae Lee, President and CEO of Samsung Electronics stated, “Although the number of pixels of camera phones were a widely debated issue, it is meaningless to simply compare camera phones based on this parameter. The key is how efficiently and harmoniously a camera phone can embody the functions of a digital camera with identical number of pixels.” He adds, “The S2300 is a totally new product that offers the functions of both a high quality digital camera and phone.”

The S2300 is currently being tested and with the carrier’s approval, Samsung plans to start selling the S2300 in the Korean market in July.
