Intel shows off 20GB Thunderbolt

Electronista has the news on Intel showing off 20GB Thunberbolt which could handle uncompressed 4K and a 4K display.Now this would be an awesome addition to a new MacPro, though again, I wouldn't hold my breath!

New MacPro this month?

Electronista has a rumor that it may happen this month, though I am not holding my breath. I am betting on the WWDC, whenever that is. And I am also betting it won't be as much as we want in a replacement.

Super 16 sized 1080p HD sensor, built in SD card reader, High resolution LCD, ProRes and Lossless CinemaDNG RAW recording, Active Micro Four Thirds lens compatibility, Micro HDMI monitoring with Overlays.The 4K will make up for the decencies of the current camera with a Super-35 Sensor!

PVC on Sorenson Squeeze 9

Scott Simmons at the Pro Video Coalition has an extensive post on the newly upgraded Sorenson Squeeze 9.You can also Check it out at the Sorenson Media Website.Squeeze has always been a top not compression suite, and it has only gotten better here, with a great and easy to use interface, that is much nicer to look at and easier to interact with than Media Compressor it's only real competitor.Great to have integration with Adobe, AVID and FCP so you can compress right from them (though I still like Media Compressor being able to work from the project files).The filter to add source timecode to a compressed clip is very very cool, and could dave so much time.Pre and Post Roll stitching to add a video to the head or tail of a compression is a very cool idea.It is $799 for standard and $999 for Pro which will render ProRES on a mac and AVID DNxHD, and upgrades depend on which version you currently have!No idea what mine would be since previous to this version I have not been able to get Squeeze to work on my Mac since version 6, which came with Media Composer, but finally this version has solved that problem, and Squeeze does now run for me and run very well.
