For those of you going to IBC in Amsterdam (September 8-13 at the RAI Convention Center), I’d like to issue a personal invitation for you to see the introduction of the latest enhancement to our Genesis® recording technology: the brand-new Genesis® SSR-1 HDCAM-SR-format dockable recorder. Presenting will be John Galt, head of Panavision’s Advanced Digital Imaging group, and generally acknowledged as the “godfather” of Genesis®.

The presentation will be held on Friday, September 7, 3:30-4:30 pm (15.30 - 16.30 hrs.) in the IBC Big Screen, located in the RAI Auditorium. Seats are first-come/first served.

The SSR-1 has been designed to reduce the camera to roughly the same weight as the lightest sound-recordable 35mm film cameras. Weighing only 2.5 kilos (5.5 lbs.) the Genesis® SSR-1 is intended for use in handheld, Steadicam and similar shooting situations.

John will discuss the benefits of the HDCAM-SR format, and other Genesis® developments including design choices, existing and future workflow. He’ll also discuss how we see those choices affecting present and future professional-level high-end production and post-production.

There may also be a surprise or two. Stay tuned.

Regards,

Andy Romanoff

President – Panavision Remote Systems
