1. Terms and Conditions for Restaurant-Specific Vouchers
For this section, Restaurant shall be defined as a merchant who offers food and beverage for sale in its regular business operations, and is making such food and beverages available to purchasers of KTRE Deals vouchers.
Redemption frequency is determined by restaurants, and shall be contained in the voucher offer on KTRE Deals.
Use of Restaurant-Specific Vouchers for alcoholic beverages is at the sole discretion of the restaurant. Restaurant agrees to comply with all state laws pertaining to the same.
It is at the discretion of the restaurant to determine whether KTRE Deals vouchers can be combined with any other restaurant vouchers, third party certificates, coupons, or promotions.
Restaurant-Specific Vouchers cannot be used for taxes, tips or prior balances, unless permitted by the Restaurant.
Valid for dine-in only unless otherwise stated.
The issuing of restaurant credit is at the sole discretion of the restaurant unless otherwise required by law.
Neither the seller nor the restaurant is responsible for lost or stolen vouchers or restaurant voucher reference numbers.
Reproduction, sale or trade of this Restaurant-Specific Voucher is prohibited unless done so in compliance with the law.
Any attempted redemption not consistent with these terms & conditions will render the Restaurant-Specific Voucher void.
Void to the extent prohibited by law.
The KTRE Deals offer (including, but not limited to, any discounts) expires on the date specified on the KTRE Deals voucher, except that the Merchant may continue to redeem the unused cash value you paid for the KTRE Deals (which is usually less than the original face value of the KTRE Deals) to the extent required by applicable law. See Section 3 below for a more detailed explanation.
If you redeem the voucher for less than its face value, you will not be entitled to a credit, cash or new voucher equal to the difference between the face value and the amount you redeemed, unless otherwise required by law. You will only be entitled to a continuing redemption value as noted above if the amount that you paid for the voucher exceeds the amount you redeemed.
All purchases of vouchers for Restaurants may have statutory limitations on the amount of the voucher value that can be redeemed for alcoholic beverages. For example, for customers purchasing vouchers for Restaurants in Ohio, the redemption of the KTRE Deals voucher may be subject to the limitations imposed by the Ohio Revised Code Title [43] XLIII, Section 4301.01, which imposes a limitation of redeeming vouchers at restaurants that serve both food and alcoholic and intoxicating liquor beverages, such that the redemption of such voucher can only be applied to alcoholic and intoxicating liquor beverages for up to 30% of the value of the voucher. Compliance with state statutes or codes (for example, the Ohio Revised Code) is the responsibility of the Merchant. KTRE Deals's sole role in the transaction is as a marketing agent for the Merchant voucher, and the applicability and compliance with any relevant statute or code is solely determined and consummated by the Merchant, and KTRE Deals has no role in such determination or action on the part of the Merchant.
2. Terms and Conditions for Non-Restaurant Merchant Vouchers
Merchant Voucher may be applied only to merchandise sold by merchant, and may not be applied to shipping or handling charges.
Limit one (1) voucher per redemption. Only one voucher can be used per order unless otherwise specified by merchant.
The issuing of credit is at the sole discretion of the merchant unless otherwise required by law.
Neither the seller nor the merchant is responsible for lost or stolen voucher or voucher's reference number.
Voucher cannot be combined with any other vouchers, third party certificates, coupons, or promotions, unless otherwise specified by merchant.
Reproduction, sale or trade of this voucher is prohibited unless done so in compliance with the law.
Any attempted redemption not consistent with these terms and conditions will render the voucher null and void.
Void to the extent prohibited by law.
The KTRE Deals offer (including, but not limited to, any discounts) expires on the date specified on the KTRE Deals voucher, except that the Merchant may continue to redeem the unused cash amount you paid for the KTRE Deals (which is usually less than the original face value of the KTRE Deals) to the extent required by applicable law. See section 3 for a more detailed explanation.
3. Additional Terms and Conditions for All KTRE Deals Products
All vouchers printed from the KTRE Deals website or any website associated with KTRE Deals are promotional vouchers that are offered to customers below their face value and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of KTRE Deals and the participating Restaurant or merchant. The Merchant is the seller of the goods or services which you are purchasing.
The holder and issuer of a Restaurant-Specific Voucher is the restaurant. The holder and issuer of a Merchant Voucher is the merchant. As a holder and issuer of the Voucher, the restaurant or merchant shall be fully responsible for any and all injuries, illnesses, damages, claims, liabilities and costs suffered by or in respect of a customer, caused in whole or in part by the restaurant or the merchant, as well as for any unclaimed property liability arising from unredeemed Vouchers. Restaurant-Specific Vouchers and Merchant Vouchers are redeemable in their entirety only and may not be redeemed incrementally.
According to the laws of the respective states in which you purchased your voucher, and in which you wish to redeem your voucher at the Merchant, the Merchant is responsible for allowing you to redeem your voucher for the cash value based on the money you actually paid for your voucher (i.e. if you paid $20 for a voucher which gives you $50 of value to the Merchant, the cash value that you paid is $20, not $50), for a period of time that may extend beyond the expiration date on the voucher. While the expiration date on the voucher dictates the last date that you can use your voucher at Merchant for the promotional offer which is stated on the voucher, state laws (which vary state-by-state, and which are generally made available by each State on the web) may provide that the Merchant is responsible for honoring the cash value that you paid for your voucher for a period of time beyond the expiration date stated on the voucher. If applicable, this is a statutory provision which applies to the Merchant, and it is the sole responsibility of the Merchant (and in no way the responsibility of KTRE Deals, as KTRE Deals is not the Merchant, has no obligations of the Merchant, and is merely selling the promotional voucher on behalf of the Merchant) to comply with such applicable laws and statutes which may govern the Merchant.
Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Rev Rocket, LLC/KTRE Deals harmless from any liability, loss, costs, damage or expense, including attorney's fees that may arise either directly or indirectly from the sale and purchase of the goods, services, or vouchers. Please see the Section on INDEMNIFICATION.
Additional Terms and Conditions for Users/BuyersYou will indemnify and hold Rev Rocket, LLC/KTRE Deals harmless against any and all expenses and losses of any kind (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by them in connection with any breach or alleged breach of any of the foregoing representations and/or warranties.
Buyer or seller assume ALL liability for the GOOD, SERVICE, OR PROMOTIONAL VOUCHER DURING THE TRANSFER OF POSSESSION OF THE GOOD, SERVICE, OR PROMOTIONAL VOUCHER, including, but not limited to, the TRANSFER of the GOOD, SERVICE, OR PROMOTIONAL VOUCHER from the seller to the buyer.

AT NO TIME DURING the TRANSFER OF OWENRSHIP AND POSSESSION OF the GOOD, SERVICE, OR PROMOTIONAL VOUCHER, SHALL Rev Rocket, LLC/KTRE Deals BE HELD LIABLE.

Blackmagic Goes 4K with S35 Global Shutter Sensor for $4K, and a Pocket Cinema Camera for $1K!
We've all been speculating that this year's NAB show would be a major one in terms of new cinema-style cameras at incredibly low price points. After Blackmagic Design shook up the cinema camera world last year, the market seemed destined for another company to swoop in an steal the BMCC's thunder. However, a photo of two brand-spankin' new Blackmagic Cinema Cameras has been leaked, and it's definitely real. It appears that Blackmagic has done it again, and their thunder is locked down in a vault that would leave even Danny Ocean and his team of 13 stumped. Check out the photo below for the limited details that we have at this point.
Jim Geduldick posted this on Twitter:
Blackmagic on the takeover new cams Super 35 4k production & S16 pocket cam. #4k http://t.co/kwR71ltQfA— Jim Geduldick (@Filmbot) April 8, 2013
For those of you having a difficult time reading those fuzzy little letters on the boxes, here's what they say:
Blackmagic Production Camera 4K
Compact 4K camera with large super-35 sensor, global shutter, Ultra HD and 4K support, built-in SSD recorder, touch LCD metadata entry, compressed CinemaDNG RAW and ProRes recording, Thunderbolt and EF lens compatibility, Includes DaVinci Resolve and UltraScopes.
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera
Ultra-portable super-16 digital cinema camera with super wide 13 stops of dynamic range. 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.
There are some really significant bits in this photo, the largest of which are the full-size sensor and the considerable upgrade in terms of resolution. Plus, a global shutter on a camera in this price-range is absolutely unheard of, the nearest competitor likely being the F55. I'm also highly intrigued by the phrase, "Compressed CinemaDNG RAW" recording. If Blackmagic has managed to considerably shrink the size of their DNG RAW frames, this camera will likely prove a much more affordable option for shooting RAW due to the amount saved on data storage. Overall, this camera looks to be a serious production tool with serious production features.
The Pocket Cinema Camera looks to be another interesting release. At a price that competes with low-end DSLR's, and with cheap SD cards as a recording medium, the camera is well-positioned to be the perfect entry level cinema camera for folks who couldn't quite afford the original BMCC. Not to mention that it has some seriously potential as a crash cam on higher end productions. Lastly, there will be an official announcement tomorrow regarding these cameras (and NFS will have awesome coverage of it, of course), so keep your eyes wide open and your ears peeled, because it's sure to be an exciting day.
To me, it seems pretty clear now that Blackmagic means some serious business when it comes to manufacturing cinema cameras. But what do you guys think? Do these new cameras have you excited? Let us know in the comments.

This is the one I've been waiting for.
Had a feeling that if I went on the MFT waiting list, something better would be announced before I got one.
April 8, 2013 at 2:53AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
They said last fall that creating a S35 would not be ideal because of how much the thing would cost vs. S16, and here we are now with a $1k cost difference...
This has to probably upset quite a few BMCC owners that recently received their 2.5k cameras 5+ months later than they should have.
April 8, 2013 at 2:54AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Ok, now you've got my attention. The question is... does anyone actually trust them to deliver the goods?
April 8, 2013 at 2:55AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
128GB SanDisk SDXC card is $140 at BH and max. read/write speed is 45MB/s.
April 8, 2013 at 2:55AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Was waiting for the camera that would make me sell my 5D mark 3 in the same price range. Found it.
April 8, 2013 at 2:56AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Except: the sensor is probably the CMV12000, which has very low DR...
April 8, 2013 at 3:54AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
If only it weren't a touch screen again...
April 8, 2013 at 3:03AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Haha, as soon as hit submit I realized what a spoiled ass I'm being. This is awesome! If it can ship on time, perform more consistently than the last model, and I can see my aperture from the get-go, then I would be lucky to have this thing.
April 8, 2013 at 3:06AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Now how long will it take to get this on the street? The track record for getting the cameras to the film makers has not been great. I don't want to wait on a list forever and then by the time I get the camera they announce the next line of cameras that bursts my excitement of the camera I am already waiting for.
April 8, 2013 at 3:05AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
I'm looking forward to seeing this one at the booth... hopefully they will have a real one out this week - not just a banner.
April 8, 2013 at 3:08AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Amazing. I wonder where they got the sensor from? Hoping it's the Toshiba one in the Nikon D5200.
April 8, 2013 at 3:14AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Dude, the mini could be a great step up from my GH2. I'd love to just go all out and get the new 4K version, but at my current skill and income level there isn't a point. I'd rather upgrade to the small one and then once I prove I can make money, I'll upgrade. Wow, this is just exciting...
By the way, was that picture taken from a camera phone from the '90s? Like a god damn UFO video!
April 8, 2013 at 3:16AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
"Whoa," as they say.
Laforet's lauded stabilizer might be a nice evolution of that market, and one destined to be used across many a professional production, but if we're talking about "game changers" here, then nothing compares to this.
Blackmagic has beaten Red to the punch in releasing an almost universally affordable 4K camera. 4K for $4k is now a reality, and any of the manufacturers that recently entered to the cheap 4K camera marketplace must be sweating non-magical bullets.
Sony's newly-revealed line of small 4K cameras now have a direct competitor at a startling price point. Canon's 1DC, previously one of the cheapest 4K cameras out there, is now teetering on the edge of irrelevance for those who don't need stills capability.
April 8, 2013 at 3:16AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Will they tell us exactly how many cameras they intend making? Since their last camera is still not readily available...
April 8, 2013 at 3:17AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
If they were available right now, I'd buy one each, but I hate waiting.. so regardless of the release history of BM I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear this.. I can't help but think if they said: why yes they're ready built and tested and we're just building up stocks then that would actually be exciting.. It's like these guys are anti zen, they're always trying to make me liven the future! ;)
April 8, 2013 at 3:18AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Okie dokie!
Take my money BM!
THIS is what I have been waiting for.
April 8, 2013 at 3:19AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Lets hope that the 4k camera also records 1080p Prores at up to 60fps.
April 8, 2013 at 3:23AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Also, $1000 for 1080p ProRes and Cinema DNG RAW?
People might not like the S16 sensor size, but there's really nothing even remotely close to those specs otherwise. With good on-board software functionality and lens compatibility, it suddenly becomes a tremendous value.
(... now the only bit that could make this announcement perfect would be that the BMPC actually uses the EF-M mount instead of the regular EF-S one, enabling it to be compatible with many more lenses, etc.)
April 8, 2013 at 3:25AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
It' a Micro 4/3 mount not an EF ;-)
April 8, 2013 at 7:53AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
It's a Micro 4/3 Active mount not an EF ;-)
April 8, 2013 at 7:56AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
As I abbreviated in parenthesis, I was talking about the BMPC or Blackmagic Production Camera, the actual name of Blackmagic's 4K camera, which has an "EF-compatible lens mount." That said, I can see where you might have been confused, since I was talking about the Pocket Camera for the rest of the post before then.
April 8, 2013 at 3:40PM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Global Shutter, super 35, and black magics legendary dynamic range.
Well, game over. Red and Arri might as well sell off the remainder of their factories for scrap.
Jim Jannard is having some seriously loose bowel movements over this.
April 8, 2013 at 3:25AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
And you say this based on a banner!? Let's see some real product & footage first.
April 8, 2013 at 7:03AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Wow. Thrilling, and so many more questions!
- How much compressed is compressed?
- I guess there is some option for higher fps in the production camera, but will they have managed to cram in 1080p50 / 1080p60 in the pocket cinema camera?
- Considering the tiny form factor on the pocket cinema camera, how long will a battery last...
Nonetheless the Pocket Cinema Camera would be very interesting for me :)
April 8, 2013 at 3:28AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
The super 16 with 13 stops in my pocket is exactly what i have been waiting for to replace my '550D on the go travel shooter.
April 8, 2013 at 3:36AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Dope! Where do I preorder? Rock on BM.
April 8, 2013 at 3:37AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
i wish they can ship these in 5 years...still %90 of bmc orders not completed yet
April 8, 2013 at 3:46AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
I wonder if RED has their lawyers on it?
April 8, 2013 at 3:47AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Yes, groundbreaking cameras indeed. Allthought: who made the 4K sensor ?
Allso, considering how much 4K material takes resources, are they really gonna make something worthwhile in that form factor ? There is still a reason why for example Sony F55 has a fan in both camera body and external recorder...
April 8, 2013 at 3:47AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
I think this a wonderful announcement, however, does anybody know what "compressed CinemaDNG RAW" means? Would that be like Cineform Raw or something? One of the key points I believe....
April 8, 2013 at 3:48AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
I'd look at this for an idea of the "compressed RAW".
Adobe has a version of DNG called Lossy DNG which seems like it compresses the files by a factor of about 3:1. I'm only assuming that Blackmagic is using this, or something similar.
April 8, 2013 at 4:04AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
R.I.P. Canon "Cinema EOS". Especially the 1DC. 8bit, psuedo-4K, DSLR dynamic-range, jello-city, $12,000? Hahahaha!

hey Age of Enlightenment - I totally agree!

Don't forget the passing of the Sony NEX-FS700.
April 8, 2013 at 11:15AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Actually, the Sony F700 is one of the cameras offering several competitive advantages over this camera. I wouldn't count on this new BMC offering much in the way of high frame rates. The Sony F700 still offers the best bang for the buck for slow mo acquisition.
April 8, 2013 at 12:31PM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Black Magic Design steps up the dream game but seriously needs to step up the delivery game, cant just live for ever on unicorn tales! Get your game on!! At least 15,000 units can be sold if deliverable.
April 8, 2013 at 4:22AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Another great excitement from Black Magic Company, This time i ll be exited when people will get hands on these camera, i am still on a waiting list for the last released camera it was exactly one year ago.
Hope fully they(BM) have learned this from first experience and supply the cameras to the people on time.
April 8, 2013 at 4:25AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
I'm so happy that what I've been hoping for is true! BlackMagic is absolutely the best thing that's happened to cinema in a LONG time. Hopefully their compression is open source too! I'm glad I never supported the companies that hold onto IP and use it to cripple us in post.
April 8, 2013 at 4:34AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
I bought the 5d3 knowing the RAW game was gonna take off like a hoodlum caught in the act. 5D3 holds it's value no problem so when this bad boy is tested and ready I can sell the 5d3, having spent a few hundred dollars in the end and put that cash towards picking one of these suckers up.
This is truly exciting. The bigger sensor is the clincher for me - couldn't handle the crop sensor it has right now. I'm just happy to see BM pushing the envelope. The 1k cam is quite impressive as well. Raw for 1k in such a tiny package. You could have 3 cam setup inconspicuously, and end up with some seriously hot footage with all that RAW info.
Others will have to follow!

Whoa! Global shutter S35 4k....
"Ultra HD and 4K support".... Does that mean the 4k will be recorded externally? If so... I'm not quite as excited. If it is internal... Then my recent second hand scarlet purchase isn't looking as awesome value. Global shutter would be sensational.
April 8, 2013 at 4:43AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
I'ts April 1st today?
Do they learned about their faults of the first camera?
Will these have a format and delete function? :D
Will these can record without dropping frames?
And I guess getting rid of moire would be too much for this money...
April 8, 2013 at 4:46AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
And answer from Red: they bought the Tessive Time Filter tech to "simulate" global shutter... Last price from Tessive 1950, - dollars for kit.
Price with Red label on it 4500,- dollars...
Shame that it still inferior to real global shutter (like in Sony F55 or new BM camera), you lose at least two stops. Not really usefull with old Epics or Scarlets.
April 8, 2013 at 5:01AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Amazing I want both! This will be the 'game changer' from NAB 2013 forget what Vincent said about MoVI. I wonder if it is the sCMOS sensor from BAE systems. firstname.lastname@example.com, global shutter and 13 stops. Also wonder if the size of the production camera will increase over the current model. Blackmagic take my money!!

Dragon's out and Red now has global shutter. This is nice for people on a budget. But at only 13 stops... its tough to take seriously these days.
April 8, 2013 at 5:58AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Electrically controlled semi-transparent LCD-panel in front of sensor IS NOT a true "global shutter". It is Red hype once again.
Bit like Dragon DR, that was first 18 stops. Then it was 20 stops.
Now when the Dragon cmos is finally shipping, it is "Epic MX DR + 3 stops".
Which in real life means about 15 stops. Very good, but nothing like "18-20 stops".
April 8, 2013 at 6:09AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
You're claiming Epic MX DR is 12 stops? What?
Whatever; I've gotten so used to the DR on the Alexa and Epic that I don't even think about it when doing stupid shit like shooting actors in shadow with intense sunlight in the exact wrong direction. I wouldn't be able to work with a camera limited to 13 stops.
And if you've ever used a tessive, while it isn't perfect, it does get rid of a lot of the downsides, and electronically variable ND has a huge number of applications.
My money's already in line for a Dragon.
April 8, 2013 at 6:27AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
The Epic is 13 stops. What are you on?
April 8, 2013 at 7:04AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Seriously? 13 stops at this price point is great. The new $150k Phantom Flex "only" has 11.
April 8, 2013 at 6:10AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Maybe for big time film makers its tough to take seriously, but for me, it's like a step up into the bigger game. So for you red and high-end Sony users, good for you that you can afford that stuff. Not a dig at anyone by any means. But let us little guys have our moment in the sun if you will please?

Not at all. My guess is demand for the BM ProdCam will be immense. I'll shoot with my original BMCC until the ProdCam becomes available. Anyway, technology moves fast (for all companies except Canon, Panasonic et al). We have to get used to it. Buyers of the original BMCC should not be expecting Blackmagic to hold back with new products.

Also, it looks like the two cameras have different strengths. Production Camera: resolution and global shutter. Original Cinema Camera: dynamic range.
April 8, 2013 at 9:04AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
They shouldn't be upset really. This is a different camera for people with different needs. If they bought for what they needed, they should be ok. If they bought because their eyes got big and had a sudden urge to empty their wallets, that's their fault. Early adopter syndrome strikes again

Good morning! Wow, woke up to this news (highly impressed) also got a text from my buddy saying convergent designs odyssey monitor/recorder has 2k (continuous 2k recording at 240 fps) and 4k support for the fs700. I'm excited and would like to say thanks for the great coverage this year guys. :)

Jaw hits floor wallet opens to no money for new equipment. Looks like I got some work to do to save up luckily I know black magic will give me enough time to save up. Hopefully we can get an external battery with this camera!
April 8, 2013 at 6:44AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
battery really is a non issue my first camera the EX3's batteries were £100+ per battery which would get you 4hr's.
This camera has devices already that can take Sony's more commonly available and considerably cheaper batteries meaning for £200 could probably get a ridiculous level of running time.
April 8, 2013 at 7:04AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
no word on the DR of the 4K one though, which is suspicious since global shutter reduced DR.
April 8, 2013 at 7:09AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Sounds good but you wont see these until 2014. They already have a camera they cant deliver on time, adding 2 more to that line is not just too realistic...
April 8, 2013 at 7:32AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
CinemaDNG already has the option of lossless (roughly 2:1 to 2.5:1) -- just nobody has bothered to implement it until now. It's a shame they didn't go with CineForm RAW, as it has more compression options: uncompressed (essentially CinemDNG), lossless, and lossy.
April 8, 2013 at 7:50AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Maybe they couldn't go with Cineform. Cineform has a license from RED for the compression scheme which is based on wavelet. I don't think that RED would have liked it.
Compared to the Kinefinty it may sell way more so maybe they weren't allowed to get Cineform
And anyway, Cineform means getting a license and that means, more expensive Cameras...
Personally my very happy that they went with the Cinema DNG compressed, that's going to be fine. File size should be halved, that's great!
April 8, 2013 at 8:13AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
I believe CineForm RAW predates Redcode (which Red has acknowledged in its patent filings), and it's freely licenseable from GoPro. David Newman has stated that the CF license would be cheap, and,given the volume of units that BM would be dealing in (if they could ramp up their camera manufacturing), I believe it would be a nominal additional fee.
April 8, 2013 at 9:58AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
4K for $4K... s35 and global shutter? uhm cough... cough... drool... ehm... Please do elaborate... :D
Oh, and DaVinci is still included for the 4K cam? And a s16 raw 1080p for 1K? Even cutting in on the Bolex market?
If they continue like this (and get us some fixes to firmware), they could get a rather large part of both the Nikon and Canon HDSLR-market (the stills-crowd though wouldn't likely notice it)
Any word on sensor-aspect ratio? is it 16:9 or maybe even a whoopin' 4:3 or 3:2 enabling true 2:1 anamorphics? One can only dream...
I would say "Shut up and take my money!" but that money is non-existant right now, no fault of BMCC of course
April 8, 2013 at 7:51AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
"I would say 'Shut up and take my money!' but that money is non-existant right now, no fault of BMCC of course"
So's the camera, at least for purchase. It's $4K -- between now and it release, you probably will be able to save up enough cash.
April 8, 2013 at 8:02AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Someone posted a link earlier in this thread about the new cinemaDNG 1.4 details. One of the interesting aspects was it seemed to infer that cinema DNG actually always records the full size of the sensor and then crops it down to 16:9 but the new version would have the option of restoring the 4:3 aspect ratio. That was my understanding anyway I might have just read it wrong. Have a look yourself there's a link in one of the earlier comments.
April 8, 2013 at 8:57AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
This is amazing. ONE problem that many people aren't talking about:
What the hell are we going to call these things? Blackmagic need to give them some real names haha, even just some numbers or something!
April 8, 2013 at 7:54AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
this camera and my arri super 16mm and I'm set till next year's NAB.
April 8, 2013 at 7:56AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
I always said it might need a product like this to make me interested. Nice efforts by Canon, KineRAW and Digital Bolex, but it's only now that i can say: "I'm interested." 4K (luxury), Super35 (very reasonable), Global shutter (obligatory!!!) and CinemaDNG RAW (ok not real RAW, which would be occasionally interesting, but even professional TV programs don't record RAW most of the time) and all that for about 3000 €. Hello, Beauty!
April 8, 2013 at 8:03AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Cinema DNG is real RAW. It's uncompressed. It's the realest RAW there is. RED RAW is compressed RAW, arguably less raw. I've now said the word RAW so many times that it sounds strange.
April 8, 2013 at 8:46AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
"Less RAW" doesn't mean a thing...
A Compressed RAW is still RAW. A RAW file is just an non-debayered image, Redcode and DNG Compressed are non-debayered so they're RAW.
RAW has nothing to do with compression or lack of.
April 8, 2013 at 8:53AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Whopps! I got a sh**load of things messed up in my previous post. ProRes was the target, but my bullet hit CinemaDNG. Sorry for that one. Of course you guys are right! All my remarks were actually referring to ProRes instead of uncompressed formats. The Alexa, for example, does record compressed ProRes and it's used instead of RAW formats in a lot of TV productions, at least here in Germany, because of the wide use of Final Cut. On second thought, it also would have been a big surprise if Black Magic would deliver less image quality in what in all other regards is a clear upgrade to the 2.5K BMCC. Sorry, guys!
April 8, 2013 at 9:25AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Industry destroyed (in a good way :)).... wow
April 8, 2013 at 8:05AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
Arri, RED and Sony will not see this as competition as the 4000$ price-tag aims more at semi-professionals. Then again, from a technical point of view Blackmagic offers a lot of features that most cameras even in the 20000$ area don't have which should put a lot of pressure towards Sony and RED and maybe even towards Arri.
If BM can deliver, a second digital revolution might be on its way - just like when the 5Dmk2 was released. If it has effect on the pro market, we might see either massive price drops or extreme improvements on dynamic range and/or low-light performance (and probably also the introduction of 8k which I'm a lot less excited about)

MONTGOMERY – Governor Robert Bentley on Tuesday called for legislative support of a bill that could help attract thousands of additional jobs to Alabama.
The Alabama Commercial Aviation Business Improvement Act of 2013 will level the playing field between Alabama and surrounding states in the recruitment of aviation industry suppliers. Those suppliers are expected to begin locating near Mobile to provide supply-chain support for the new Airbus plant. Neighboring states already have similar laws in place. By approving this legislation, Alabama can help ensure the state remains competitive with other, nearby states in recruiting jobs by attracting those suppliers.
"This bill will have a significant economic impact on Alabama," Governor Bentley said. "We already expect Airbus to provide 1,000 jobs for Alabamians, and Airbus suppliers will bring thousands more. We want those jobs in Alabama, not in a neighboring state."
The bill applies to a small category of lawsuits which involve manufacturers of commercial aircraft with 100 seats or more. It is intended protect the rights of Alabama citizens to bring suit against the manufacturer, but will also protect the manufacturer from out-of-state and foreign plaintiffs who may seek to file suit in Alabama simply because the manufacturer located its plant here.
"Without this legislation, Airbus suppliers could very easily decide to locate in nearby Florida or Mississippi – states that have already implemented bills similar to the one being introduced in Alabama," Governor Bentley said. "We have worked hard to create a positive business climate here in Alabama, and this legislation is needed to help us build on our progress and attract even more jobs."
The Alabama Commercial Aviation Business Improvement Act (Senate Bill 238 & House Bill 330) is sponsored by Senator Cam Ward, Senator Vivian Figures and Representative Bill Poole.
"With so many potential jobs on the line, we need to move as quickly as possible to make sure our legal climate is competitive with our neighboring states," Senator Ward said. "I am proud to work with the Bentley Administration on legislation that will help us continue our mission of creating more jobs. I hope the Legislature will move quickly on this pro-business measure."
"It is critical that we lay the proper foundation to attract additional suppliers for Airbus and realize the thousands of multiplier jobs that will come," Senator Figures said. "I stand ready to work with Governor Bentley, my colleagues and Airbus to bring as many jobs as possible to our great state of Alabama. It is our time for a great economic boom, and we must do everything we can to make it a reality."
"Just as recruiting Mercedes-Benz to Alabama in the 1990s helped usher in a new era of economic development in the automotive industry, the recruitment of Airbus is poised to do the same for the aerospace industry," Representative Poole said. "We need this legislation to help attract the Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers that will bring additional jobs for Alabama citizens."
The Alabama Commercial Aviation Business Improvement Act provides that the manufacturer would be liable for causes of action occurring no more than 10 years after delivery of the aircraft. If the cause of action occurs at the 10-year deadline, the plaintiff still has two years to bring the action.
Alabama Department of Commerce Secretary Greg Canfield reiterated that the legislation will help ensure that the jobs and investment that come with the expected aerospace corridor locate in Alabama instead of other states.
"The aerospace corridor to be created by the announcement of Airbus will be one of the biggest projects our state has seen," Secretary Canfield said. "We are going to do everything we can to help make doing business easier for the aerospace industry in Alabama so that the new jobs come here."
The Alabama Department of Commerce estimates that the Airbus plant will have a $409 million impact on the state's economy. The Airbus plant will directly employ approximately 1,000 Alabamians. In addition, the construction phase of building the Airbus facility in Mobile is expected to create more than 3,000 construction-related jobs over a three-year period. The Department of Commerce estimates another 3,700 Alabamians could be employed by Airbus suppliers locating in the state.

Stunning Master Bathrooms
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 29
A master bath is a place of peace and solitude, made even richer with luxurious décor to match. Be it a cascading backsplash of marble, glittering custom tile mosaics, or classic clean white porcelain, these spaces are secluded retreats from the rest of the world. Read on for some of our most stunning master baths.
Here, a restful palette of green and white surrounds a lovely soaking tub with floor-mounted faucet. White-and-green sheers are draped gracefully above an arched window behind.
Gorgeous Gray Master Bath
"European Gray" from Benjamin Moore wraps this master bath in sophisticated serenity. The ambience is given a creative edge with asymmetrical walls and a sky-high ceiling. A clean white floor from Calcutta Mosaic, freestanding tub, and antique chair upholstered in creamy white fabric from Nancy Corzine keep the space bright and airy.
Playful Pink Master Bath
A wall of playful "Mardale" floral wallpaper from Cowtan & Tout gives this master bath color and texture. A basketweave marble floor lends texture to the otherwise neutral space; a glass shower enclosure adds a contemporary touch.
Marble Master Bath with Vintage Details
A skirted tub from Sunrise Specialty is outfitted with Waterworks' crystal-handled "Boulevard" faucet for a touch of glam. Vintage fashion prints line the top of the marble wall, above which mirrored panels help to visually expand the space.
Marble-Wrapped Master Bath
Calacatta Gold marble surrounds the spacious tub and forms a faux mantel to display bath salts and soft candlelight. White wood paneling add reads clean and classic against the eye-catching floor of Walker Zanger mosaic tiles.
Artfully Chic Master Bath
This master bath pairs contemporary simplicity with colorful artwork for a fresh look. Behind the freestanding tub, a wall of small patterned tiles serves as eyecatching art. An antique chair upholstered in lively fabrics and monogrammed with an elaborate "W" serves as a focal point.
Master Bath with Lively Patterns
An Asian-inspired Brunschwig & Fils wallpaper and a vintage chandelier set the tone in this master bath. The original tub was converted into a spa-like daybed upholstered in terrycloth. A subdued palette of greens, browns, and pinks brings in color without overwhelming the patterns of the wallpaper and daybed pillows.
See more of this bath on the following slide.
Master Bath with Lively Patterns Detail
An old hutch found at a flea market was given a new lease on life with "Elephant" paint from Behr and a backing covered in seagrass material to allow the display items to pop.
Master Bath with Natural Elements
This bath from the 2010 Healthy Home project is made from sustainable, allergen-free materials that are healthy for both people and the environment. A bathtub from Kohler is framed by quartz surfacing from Cambria. Niches in the surrounding walls provide space for soaps and salts; seagrass shades can be pulled down for privacy. Faucets, toilets, and other Kohler plumbing fixtures are Water Sense-certified to conserve water usage.
See more of this health-conscious home.
Light and Airy Master Bath
A deep, luxurious tub from BainUltra is tucked into a niche in this master bath. Shelving around the rub ensures that there's a good book close at hand during a long soak. Tiles from Ann Sacks create a mosaic "rug" on the floor.
See more of this bath on the following slide.
Light and Airy Master Bath
The vanity stretches along the far wall with built-in twin sinks, a "Calcutta Carrara" marble countertop, a plush bench, and a dressing table. Two wide mirrors reflect the natural light, which spills in from the oversize round window.
Classic White Master Bath
Natural light abounds in this master bath dressed in classic white and clean lines. Honeycomb tiles cover the floor for retro appeal, while the freestanding soaking tub gets its own floor-mounted faucet. Built-in cabinetry with open shelving displays seaside goodies like sponges and shells.
Elegant Master Bath
Elegant architecture sets the stage for a smoky blue, ivory, and shimmering silver color palette that soothes in this master bath. The central feature is a Greek-style tub with a gracious marble surround. Creamy white-painted trim and tranquil blue damask-print wallpaper create a gracious presence beneath a ceiling covered in torn pieces of wallpaper flecked with silver leaf.
Exotic Bathroom
Nestled within a niche, this marble-top bathroom vanity includes an antique Moroccan veil repurposed as a skirt-both whimsical and exotic. The sconces are from Marrakech, never intended to be lights, just decorative objects. But once installed over a bulb, the pierced metal objects transform into glamorous fixtures. See the next slide for another detail from the same bath.
Exotic Shower
Sheathed in mosaic tiles, this open arched shower features fiber-optic lighting that twinkles overhead like a starry sky. A matched pair of towel warmers keeps sumptuous bath towels fresh, dry, and ready to snuggle.
Master Bath with Tub
Clearly intended for indulgence, a freestanding soaking tub from Victoria and Albert holds court in the corner of this master bathroom. A graceful Niermann Weeks chandelier and pretty Cowtan & Tout toile fabric valance with ribbon braid trim add a feminine touch.
Tiled Master Bath
A celebration of natural stone, this master bathroom's shower, floor, and tub surround all feature beautifully grained, polished Equator Marmara marble tile from Artistic Tile. Antiqued Silver La Leaf Glass tile sheaths the subtly gleaming walls, while a Curly Ribbon Clear Venetian Chandelier shines from above. The animal-print upholstered bench adds a whimsical touch.
Natural Master Bath
Multiple windows and views of the town give this master bath a tree-house ambiance. Still, bathers can maintain their privacy due to the large windows being covered in dramatically patterned Roman shades. Walls were upholstered in the same fretwork fabric as the shades, creating an enveloping sense of comfort.
Victorian Master Bath
A vintage-inspired two-leg console sink adds elegant curves to a pristine white bath decked out with polished nickel fixtures. Classic white subway tiles cover the walls, while the floor is clad in Iridium Mosaic tiles in lush periwinkle tones. A rectangular pivot mirror and matching sconces in polished nickel add a feeling of luxury.
Master Bath in Marble
Tucked into an alcove, the master bath's luxe tub is surrounded by Carrara marble. The same strongly figured stone is used to frame the nearby shower. Opposite the shower, a marble-topped vanity is crafted from hand-milled mahogany in order to look more like fine furniture than a commonplace bath fixture. Both the sink and tub are from Lefroy Brooks.
Master Bath Retreat
The centerpiece of this master bath retreat is a hand-hammered copper tub designed by artisan Robert Kuo, backed by a custom-designed glass-tile mural designed by tilemaker and artist Erin Adams. The mural, inspired by a waterfall design on an antique Japanese screen, was installed in three panels reminiscent of a folding screen. Adams also designed the woven-pattern tiles installed below the mural-creating a grass-cloth-like weave but on a larger scale.
Dusty-blue toile wallpaper and fabric add an ultra-feminine touch to a master bath whose freestanding bathtub nestles within a bay window. Skirted slipper chairs float above a wide plank hardwood floor. A lush Roman shade dresses the bay window with gracious style.
French-Inspired Bath
This luxurious French-inspired bath is anchored by a capacious tub underneath two windows framed with formal damask swags and opaque silk café curtains with gold tassels. An ornate crystal chandelier twinkles overhead, while dazzling metallic accents give the space an opulent personality. Outside the tub area, glittering mirrored panels hide practical storage options.
Master Bath in White and Silver-Sage
Richly patterned marble sheaths the vanity and shower surround in this master bathroom. Gently arched woodwork (mirroring arched openings elsewhere in the room) turns the bathroom mirror into a gorgeous focal point. Silver-sage-painted walls and white-painted wainscoting create tranquility.
French-Inspired Master Bath
Rescued in Provence, then shipped to the U.S. for this project, an antique leaded-glass window offers a centuries-old backdrop to a contemporary tub. Ivory sheers add delicate beauty without obscuring the breathtaking view. An antique crystal chandelier hangs above marble-tile floors.
His-and-Her Bath
A his-and-her bathroom with a dramatic neutral palette boasts an extra-high freestanding two-person tub -- Michael S Smith for Kallista - beneath a black Murano glass chandelier. To serve as a backdrop for the tub, a stunning chinoiserie-style mural of art glass and mirrored tiles was commissioned from artist Erin Adams. The mural features a pomegranate tree with opalescent art-glass tiles that suggest mother-of-pearl inlay. A centrally-located cherry "spa bar" is outfitted with a sink and two warming drawers for towels. Two sets of louvered doors mask storage spaces outfitted for his and her customized needs.
Boldly Patterned Master Bath
Green fleur-de-lis motif wallpaper from Brunschwig & Fils (on both walls and ceiling) is tempered by classic white woodwork and black accents in this master bath. A calm respite is offered by white beadboard wainscoting and a marble-top console sink with brass legs. The room's quirky footprint is accentuated by a black-and-white harlequin-pattern tile border.
Blue-and-White Master Bath
Abundant white cabinets and a stunning honed Calcutta marble tub surround are set off by walls painted Benjamin Moore's "Palladian Blue." The black chest and contemporary chandelier are from Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams.

We have navigated the highest-pressure situations in the most sensitive environments. Our expertise can help identify solutions to your most pressing communications challenges.
A new energy future has dawned in North America. It promises to fundamentally benefit everything from manufacturing competitiveness to geopolitical considerations. And renewable energy and the new abundance of natural gas promises a bridge to a lower carbon future. The challenge is that in a digitally hyper-connected world every organization operating within the energy sector is facing the harsh business reality that environmental and shareholder activists present serious challenges to every energy play.
Whether you're an upstream producer, an energy services supplier, a solar or wind operator, or provide transportation and distribution, even the soundest business strategies can be disrupted or derailed by activists, major incidents, and change or delay in regulatory approvals. Flying below the radar is never an option, and deciding to "weather the storm" is a surefire way to see your reputation, and your brand valuation evaporate.
At LEVICK, we don't ignore this reality. Nor do we merely acknowledge it. We embrace it.
LEVICK's Energy Practice specialists will not only protect and preserve your reputation against attacks that are increasingly digital in nature, but help you harness the power of digital communications in order to strengthen and enhance your brand amongst the most crucial stakeholders.
Corporations in the global marketplace compete amid unprecedented anti-corruption enforcement challenges. In the last decade, civil and criminal actions have increased exponentially. Penalties have soared into the billions of dollars. Top executives are serving time in prison. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) is just one area of exposure as all signs point to further increases in U.S. and international enforcement.
Most governments, companies, organizations and universities will, at some point, fall victim to data loss or theft. It's no surprise that recent surveys confirm that risk managers have replaced "catastrophic incident" with "cyber-attack" as their chief concern in disaster modeling. All the while, breaches continue to occur on a nearly daily basis.
It is a sad reality of our contemporary society that religious institutions, high schools, colleges, athletic organizations, and diverse other repositories of the public trust face horrific, often unjust exposure when members of their organizations are accused of personal misconduct that victimizes innocent people, often children. Understandably, the public ire is significantly enflamed when the misconduct involves sexual abuse.
Labor and Employment issues can be a challenge for any organization. Unfortunately, they can sometimes erupt into an acute crisis. For companies doing business nationwide an otherwise ordinary employee lawsuit may create a class action threat. Age, gender, and race are always sensitive and potentially contentious issues that can damage corporate reputations long after lawsuits are resolved. Collective bargaining and labor management relations are always a challenge, before, during, and after negotiations.
Effective product liability communications ensures that regardless of the outcome of litigation or regulatory action, your brand will emerge intact and positioned to grow. It employs digital media strategies that overpower critics and adversaries attacking you online. It reassures the public that responsible remedial action has been taken. It demonstrates collaboration with regulatory agencies like the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) or the FDA, so that you win the trust of regulators and the consumers they protect.
Highly publicized and brand-damaging food, drug, and consumer product recalls are a fact of life for today's manufacturers and retailers. Heightened regulatory scrutiny, Congressional oversight, increasingly aggressive news media, and anxious consumers agitating on social media combine to make the stakes higher than ever for a company facing a recall incident.
There are moments when one company's crisis can potentially harm an entire industry. When many companies are affected by a problem, the best communications solution is often a single source of consistent and persuasive information representing all. At the same time, trade associations and groups often serve on the front lines when it comes to brand-building, reputation management, and fighting the public policy battles that can alter the direction of entire industries.
Insider trading. Fraud. Ponzi schemes. FCPA violations. Perjury. For companies today, it gets harder and harder to draw a clear line between the crimes of a renegade individual and the complicity or negligence of the corporate entity. Meanwhile, public perceptions directly influence prosecutorial decisions (as well as stock price, rating agency reviews, employee morale, and potential activist investors), especially when the public is intensely distrustful of corporations writ large.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) Justin Sears scored 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds to lead Yale to a 76-64 win in overtime against Brown on Saturday.
Austin Morgan finished with 16 points for the Bulldogs (7-12, 1-1 Ivy League), who have won two of their last three games. It's a bounce-back win for Yale, which lost 65-51 to Brown this month.
Brown, which trailed by 11 points in the second half, forced overtime after Tucker Halpern made two free throws to tie the game at 58-all with 55 seconds remaining.
But the Bears (7-9, 1-1) could not keep up with Yale in OT. The Bulldogs used a 7-0 run that was capped by Morgan's two free throws to claim a 70-62 lead with 1:34 left.
Yale continued to surge forward, holding Brown to only two points the rest of the way.
Cedric Kuakumensah and Matt Sullivan each scored 13 points for the Bears.
