Blackmagic’s DaVinci Resolve has been used for grading the new Lamborghini Huracán Performante Spyder commercial “Capture it if you can”. Post Atomic relied on timewarp, image stabilization and beauty tools for a grade that respected the Lamborghini's pearl finish.

Panasonic has released a new firmware update for its HE130 PTZ camera that fixes the problems with NewTek NDI|HX mode. The new version fixes frame drops in IP streaming transmission by prioritizing the encoder task to improve the processing speed as well as suppressing all the unnecessary processes; and optimizations for NDI|HX driver (supplied from NewTek). The streaming protocol is now changed from TCP to UDP so that NW processing load is reduced; and transmission intervals between control commands for cameras are corrected. To enable NDI|HX mode, you need to purchase NDI|HX Upgrade from NewTek. The latest NDI|HX Driver need to be installed.

The Serv platform brings high definition real-time video monitoring to iPhones and iPads over Wi-Fi.

The HDMI-only Serv model supports up to 4 iOS devices at one time, while the dual input Serv Pro can stream to more than 8 iOS devices in high definition.
