New podcast in the EDIUS Podcast series continues where the previous left off, covering mono/stereo audio wokflows.

The new podcast shows how to quickly and easily separate two stereo tracks into monaural channels. Visit podcast.edius.net YouTube channel to watch the ongoing podcast series.

Schneider-Kreuznach introduced Xenon FF-Prime Cine-Tilt lenses, the world’s first full-frame cine primes to offer dynamic tilt functionality. These groundbreaking new lenses combine a similar form factor and capabilities as the company's popular full-frame primes with an added tilt function up to ±4°. By sustaining the field of view during focus and tilt actions, the new cine-tilt design means that previously unimaginable images can be taken by moving and tilting the focus plane. The new lenses make it possible to capture out-of-focus areas in the frame, especially when using tilt with a large aperture. A 4° tilt angle on the sensor plane corresponds to an 80° focal plane, which varies according to the selected focal length and aperture setting.



Like Schneider-Kreuznach's standard Xenon FF-Primes, the new version answers today's practical needs for full-frame imagery beyond 4K in a lightweight and compact, uniform housing. The color-matched lenses feature minimized breathing and a bokeh reminiscent of classic Hollywood. Designed and built in Germany, the new design incorporates sophisticated mechanics for smooth and accurate tilt action. The tilt of the lens is controlled via a high-precision ring with 120° rotation that is as intuitive to operate as pulling focus. Thanks to the common 0.8 module gear, the Cine-Tilt can be used with standard follow-focus systems.

Schneider-Kreuznach's Cine-Tilt lenses offer the multifold benefits of standard Xenon FF-Primes plus tilt functionality, so there is no need to swap lenses during a shot. With the tilt set at 0°, the Cine-Tilt lenses provide identical images to the standard FF-Primes. The homogenous set comprises focal lengths of 25mm, 35mm, 50mm, 75mm and 100mm -- all with T2.1. Schneider-Kreuznach’s Cine-Tilt FF-Primes will be available in a Sony E-mount this spring, either individually or as a set.
