CMOS Cameras - Facts & Fiction

There's been a lot of talk of late about "rolling shutter artifacts" with the new generation of cameras with CMOS sensors. We'll test them out ourselves and see what all the fuss is about.

Steve Wargo of Show-N-Tell Productions has generously offered his Sony PMW EX-1 camera for us to put through it's paces. We'll test it in handheld, with whip-pans, strobe lights, run it through test charts and keying!

Mitch Ives of Insight Productions will be bringing his Macbook Pro with the Primatte Keyer and a portable greenscreen for us to test the keying potential of the EX-1

We'll have a test chart provided by Broadcast Rentals, so we can put the EX-1 on the scopes, and see how it performs!

We'll also be giving away a copy of Roxio Toast 9 Titanium, the essential utility for optical media!

The meeting starts at 6pm but don't expect dinner - there's at least 3 great restaurants at the corner. So, come early and grab a bite or plan on a late dinner at Pei Wei, Zoe's Kitchen or My Florist Cafe.

IFP Phoenix is on the West side of 7th Ave, Just North of McDowell. Go down the ramp to park, then take the stairs or elevator to the 2nd floor. IFP's  offices are at the far South end of the building:
