When the Polk County Commission meets, most of the discussion is likely to center to whether duck hunting will continue to be allowed at the popular Circle B Bar nature park and, if so, how often.
BARTOW | When the Polk County Commission meets Wednesday to review the 72-page updated management plan for Circle B Bar Reserve, most of the discussion is likely to center around one page.
That's the part devoted to whether duck hunting will continue to be allowed in the 500-acre central marsh at the popular 1,267-acre nature park and, if so, how often.
Polk County Environmental Lands staffers and the county's Conservation Lands Acquisition and Selection Advisory Committee have recommended holding only youth hunts rather than the five days of regular hunts as allowed in the current plan.
Representatives of both factions likely will be well represented at Wednesday's meeting and are calling for everything from a complete ban on hunting at Circle B to expanding hunting to 20 days per year.
Those pushing the ban argue hunting will make Circle B less attractive as an increasingly popular environmental education and ecotourism venue.
Hunting advocates argue the county should and can accommodate a variety of recreational uses at the nature park and that hunting should be one of them.
The issue has generated more discussion, debate and competing claims than any other topic in the 15 years since Polk voters first were asked to go to the polls to tax themselves to buy and preserve some of the last environmentally important pieces of land in Polk County.
Duck hunting advocates include Dennis Dutcher, regional director of United Waterfowlers-Florida, and Ralph Putnam, state chairman of Ducks Unlimited.
On the other side are environmentalists and other park advocates as well as longtime rancher Al Bellotto, who operated a cattle ranch on the property from 1948 to 2000.
Bellotto sold the property to the county and the Southwest Florida Water Management District for $7.4 million.
Dutcher told commissioners at a recent meeting that efforts to curtail hunting at Circle B are a step backward.
"More hunting opportunities need to be created to keep hunting alive," he said.
That reflects a concern in the hunting community and state wildlife agencies. In recent years, they have been trying to recruit young people and women into the hunting ranks in the face of declining interest in the pursuit.
That decline has affected hunting license revenue, which helps to fund these agencies.
The hunt has the support of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, according to a recent letter submitted at the request of County Commission Chairman Sam Johnson.
Diane Roth Eggeman, director of Wildlife Commission's Division of Hunting and Game Management, said in a June 2 letter that Circle B could sustain hunting if the hunts were limited to no more than two hunting days per week and no more than 13 groups of hunters.
"Further, because access to public waterfowl hunting is especially limited in your portion of the state, we view this opportunity as a particularly valuable component of the recreation provided at (Circle B)," she wrote.
But for Bellotto, the issue isn't whether duck hunting can occur at Circle B, it's whether it should occur.
"There are places for certain things," he said, explaining he didn't think Circle B was any more appropriate for duck hunting than downtown Lakeland's Lake Morton, which also attracts a number of migratory waterfowl every year.
The reason, Bellotto said, is hunting is incompatible with his vision of Circle B when he agreed to sell the land.
He envisioned the site as something that could become Polk's Central Park, referring to the famous 843-acre green space in New York City's urban landscape.
"Lakeland, Winter Haven, Auburndale, Bartow and Eagle Lake are all going to grow together and this will be a jewel for families so they won't have to drive 20 miles to find a quiet place for a picnic," he said.
The sound of gunfire from duck hunting will ruin that atmosphere and will drive away the wildlife he and his family spent decades trying to attract to the property, Bellotto said.
Whether the hunting will drive away wildlife more than temporarily has been a matter of dispute.
Audubon members conducted bird counts in Circle B's marshes before and after hunts during the last hunting season there.
The marsh where the hunting was permitted is also one of the prime wildlife-viewing areas at Circle B.
The Audubon team, led by veteran local birdwatcher Chuck Geanangel, counted 468 ducks in the area set aside for hunting before the hunts began in mid-December. By the time the hunts had ended in mid-January, the number of ducks in the count area had dropped to 94.
Hunters reported shooting 357 ducks.
Dutcher and his fellow duck hunters have criticized the count's conclusions, arguing any reduction in wildlife numbers is only temporary, adding that migrating waterfowl move around the area anyway, regardless of whether hunting occurs.
Gaye Sharpe, Polk's natural areas manager, and her staff recommended that hunting be limited to youth hunts, which she concluded would be more in keeping with the evolution of Circle B from a relatively undeveloped natural area to the site of Polk's Nature Discovery Center, a building complex that houses an environmental education center, classrooms and a meeting room.
When the County Commission first approved hunting at Circle B in 2003, relatively few people visited the site - the average number of visitors was 100 to 200 per month.
Since Polk's Nature Discovery Center opened last year, and the parking and trail system have been improved, Circle B attracts several hundred visitors per day.
In addition, beginning next year, the center will hold daily classes for students from all over Polk County.
There has been a concern that if hunting is allowed, some visitors may go elsewhere and some parents may not let their children attend classes there because of safety concerns.
Hunters, however, say that concern has no real basis because there's no danger to other visitors.
Sharpe said the plan calls for less hunting than in the past because the Circle B management plan has always made management of the property to protect its natural resources the top priority.
But Newton Cook, United Waterfowlers-Florida's executive director, criticized the staff recommendation as an overreaction to public pressure.
Cook wants two days of hunting per week during the duck-hunting season, which runs from Sept. 20 to 24, from Nov. 22 to 30 and from Dec. 6 to Jan. 25, plus a youth hunt from Jan. 31 to Feb. 1.
He blamed the proposed limits on "misinformation, irrational fear and emotions versus science and facts" and referred to critics as "anti-hunting elements."
Circle B hunting opponents call the charge a red herring.
Marian Ryan, a longtime Sierra activist and park advocate, said the real issue is that hunting at Circle B could diminish the nature park's role in promoting ecotourism in Polk County.
"(Circle B's) trail system provides easy access to world-class wildlife viewing opportunities," she said. "Almost a quarter of a million tourists with wildlife-watching plans travel to Florida each year, making us the No. 1 destination in the country for wildlife viewing activities."
Hunting throughout the tourist season, as proposed by the duck hunters, could make Circle B less attractive, she said.

The Kepler Space Telescope, which is responsible for the detection of 2,245 exoplanets and 2,342 others to be confirmed, is running out of fuel. The telescope has only a few months left until his lights go out. The spaceship will go down in history as one of the greatest astronomical tools ever used.
Kepler is a formidable hunter of exoplanets. Robust, it will have resisted many failures. But after 9 years of flying and making countless discoveries, fuel is running out. "So, while we anticipate flight operations ending soon, we are prepared to continue as long as the fuel allows," says Charlie Sobeck, Kepler Space Telescope System Engineer. "Our current estimates are that Kepler's tank will run dry within several months – but we've been surprised by its performance before!"
Why surprised? Because an incident in 2013 nearly put the spaceship out of action. It had suffered a mechanical failure rendering it unable to maintain its gaze on the original field of view. However, mission planners had managed to save the telescope using the pressure of sunlight to maintain its pointing. This second phase of the mission, called K2, required Kepler to examine each part of space every three months. These quarterly adjustments are dubbed "campaigns" by NASA, which estimated at the time, that Kepler would be able to perform only 10 campaigns before running out of fuel. Against all odds, phase K2 has already completed 16 campaigns, and is currently in the middle of its 17th.. Thus, it's possible to send a spaceship to supply it. The researchers will then try to get the most out of Kepler over the next few months, making sure that it sends all its data back to Earth. Once there is no more fuel, the ship will be abandoned and left adrift. The telescope is not equipped with a fuel gauge, so Kepler's team will look for warning signs of its imminent death, such as a pressure drop in the fuel tank or poor performance of its thrusters.
Once Kepler is out of use, astronomers will nevertheless continue to study its data for many years. As mentioned before, there are still thousands of potential exoplanets to confirm. As for the next generation, it will soon be provided by TESS, whose launch is scheduled for Cape Canaveral on April 16th. Its mission will be to detect the terrestrial planets that gravitate in the habitable zone around the stars. To achieve this, the space observatory — which uses the method of detection of transits — will observe the whole sky focusing on the brightest stars, on average 30 to 100 times more than those observed by the Kepler space telescope.

|Oracle FAQ
|Your Portal to the Oracle Knowledge Grid
Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: SGA too large?
Sounds like fun. :-}
You don't say if there's only one instance running on the machine, or if you have to support multiple instances on the same box. I'm assuming from the tone of your message that it's probably just the one instance. I'm also assuming that since it's Applications 11 that you probably have a *bunch* of users, but that they're coming in via SQL*net, not direct connects. Please correct me if any of this is wrong. Also, you might just double-check with your management that you know about "everything" that is intended to be on the machine, you wouldn't want to tune your Apps to rely on all 12 procs/12 gigs and then have them say "Now add this database...".
I don't have any idea about the SGA limit that degrades performance, but you may have trouble getting above a 4 Gig limit, especially on Solaris 2.6.
I would try to migrate ASAP to Solaris 7 (or 2.7 if you prefer) and Oracle 8.1.6 if the Applications will allow it (check Metalink for support matrix to be sure). I've found over the years that when you deal with large memory sizes, the latest O/S and Oracle seem to be the best...
Definitely consider MTS and/or Connection Management if you have lots of connections.
If there are some slow running reports on large tables, you can maybe help a little by setting the degree of parallelism on a table-by-table basis, especially if your I/O subsystem will support it. Be sure you're configured properly for parallel, check your init.ora params. If you're not OFA compliant, get there.
I would also suggest that your company consider the Veritas Database Edition for Oracle, if you don't already have it. It includes the volume manager, Veritas file system (no more fsck!), and the Quick I/O and cached Quick I/O modules. The cached Quick I/O in particular can use that extra memory that you can't allocate to the SGA to give you *better* than raw performance on file-system based volumes. IMHO, well worth the money, especially for large systems like this.
HTH, *Dale*

The following pictures are from the dress distribution made in Burma by the Hope Project group based in Victoria. These were sent in by Barbara Dodson and thought I would publish it so everyone gets updated on the status of dresses collected last September. These are some of the dresses and t-shirts that have actually been given to the school kids already.
Thank you to all the donors who made this distribution possible. Much appreciated.

About Drafty Loans
Drafty is part of Gain Credit (formerly Global Analytics) who are more well known for their Lending Stream brand that provides fixed 6 month loans. Whilst Stream lacks flexibility, this isn't the case with the impressive line of credit facility packaged together here. This project was tested throughout 2015 and the full launch would follow in summer 2016. It is clear that they were greatly inspired by the early traction of SafetyNet who opened with this concept in the UK back in 2014. Drafty's service is competitively priced with high sums available making this a worthy overdraft alternative. It is however prime specialised and you'll need to be earning at least £1250 monthly.
The low interest rate is the standout quality in place here. This fixed rate comes in low at 0.18% daily that creates highly competitive short term and instalment term prices. The value does slip as you head close to a year and so shorter borrowing is advised. Drafty's growth has been improving consistently. In the various niches competed in, they usually rank between the top 5 and 10 spots for Alexa ranks. This is notable, but you'd perhaps expect more investment from the owner who pours plenty into Lending Stream. Drafty's support team is available 7 days a week and existing customers have access to funds 24/7. This pot can be £3000 max (new) or £5000 (return).
About Tappily Loans
Tappily was launched by Indigo Michael in 2017 to compliment the successful SafetyNet Credit brand. Tappily's service is structured the same as a revolving credit facility. The key difference is that the interest rate is lower (0.34% daily vs 0.8%). The loan amounts are also higher at £100 to £2500 vs SNC's £100 to £500 (£1000 reloan). A further minor difference is that the interest cap is longer at 75 days vs 40 days. This cap isn't however important to factor in since repayments are taken at payday. You can instantly reloan, but this would trigger a new contract and so you'd never reach the cap unless you weren't receiving a pay packet or having £50 paid in.
The rollout of this revolving prime product made sense in order for the owner to compete more against overdrafts and leading payday loans. At the same time, there has been mounting pressure from Drafty who have been attempting the same thing. Tappily's early sector growth was very slow. It did seem that they weren't attracting many visitors at all, but then across 2019 their Alexa rank spiked and continued to progress and they also started to attract more reviews on Trustpilot. Don't forget that as with the case at SafetyNet, you'll have access to your money pot 24/7 and will have the same protection built in to protect you from banking fees.
About SafetyNet Credit Loans
SafetyNet Credit has shown great innovation in short term lending in a similar fashion as seen with Wonga. They clearly haven't imitated Wonga's trajectory in becoming a household name, but to be fair they haven't poured their profits into TV ad campaigning and sponsorships. More natural growth has been seen here, but they have attracted close to 500,000 customers. SafetyNet's owner (Indigo Michael Ltd) started out life in 2012 through the launch of ClearAccount. SafetyNet's launch followed in 2014, whilst ClearAccount became a financial tool and ended up being sold on. A further project (Tappily) was rolled out in 2017. This is a prime alternative delivering higher sums and lower interest.
As a credit line facility, you'll be granted access to your determined limit 24/7. There is no need to reapply, you can instantly request more money when needed and repay across any short term. Whilst £100 is the minimum limit, once approved you can advance from just £20 inwards (moving £1 upwards). Overdraft protection is also built in to protect from excessive bank fees. There is an interest cap of 40 days that is handy if you lose your job, but repayments are taken when you're paid that overrides this. Do note that online banking usage is required for all applicants. The lender is only permitted with read-only access that must be renewed every 90 days.

Jiu Jitsu changed my life. Super cliché but its true. When I started training I was a little over two hundred pounds, at 5'8″ that's overweight but nothing crazy. I was very active, I went to the gym almost every day. The problem was I ate like shit. Seriously, I would rarely eat a vegetable unless it was on a pizza or a subway sandwich. I was living the typical college life.
After about a year of training I started to implement a few lifestyle changes that my training partners often talked about. I lowered the amount of sugar in my diet and started eating salad more often. I noticed some big changes from this, I had more energy and I just felt better all around (who knew you shouldn't eat pizza and doughnuts every day?).
Me and one of my buddy's decided to go on a trip to watch a UFC Fight Night, just so happened that there was a Jiu Jitsu tournament the day before in a town close by. So me and my friend sign up and compete. Because of the little bit of dieting I had been doing I was down to 190 pounds and competed in the white belt 190 lbs division. I competed and didn't do terrible but I lost. One of the guys I competed against who got gold came up to me after our bracket was done and said "man you gave us a hard time, why don't you cut some weight? You would kill it in a lighter division." This one comment seriously changed my life. Everyone I competed against was in really good shape and I was not. They were also about half a foot taller than me. I started thinking to myself, He's right. Why don't I just lose some weight?
After that tournament I got really serious about my health and fitness. I watched as many videos and read as much information about dieting as I could. Over the next six months I lost forty pounds and I've successfully kept that weight off for about a year and a half now. Not only do I feel much better but my Jiu Jitsu completely changed. When I was two-hundred pounds I would try to use my weight and out muscle everyone, but as I lost the weight this wasn't an option anymore. I started working my guard game a lot more, soon it was my go to. I became a lot more dexterous and my technique became much better and continued to grow faster.
I think losing that forty pounds was the best thing I've ever done for myself and it all stemmed from Jiu Jitsu. There are I few lessons I've taken away from this experience. One is that getting into good shape and staying there is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. Everyone should strive for optimum health and fitness. The second thing I learned is that Jiu Jitsu will get you in shape. You shouldn't wait to join JIu JItsu until you get in shape. I have a buddy who said he was going to get in shape before he started Jiu Jitsu. He spent months at the gym before he showed up to a class and when he did he got his ass kicked just like everyone else does. What will make you better at Jiu Jitsu is training more Jiu Jitsu. Getting in shape will accelerate the process but you shouldn't wait until you're in shape, just start training now and you will get in shape.

McGregor to face assault charge next week after detectives serve summons following bar incident
UFC star Conor McGregor will appear in a Dublin court next week to face an assault charge, the Herald can reveal.
Detectives have served a summons on the 31-year-old fighter to appear before a judge next Friday morning.
McGregor, who is originally from Dublin but living in Kildare, is now expected to appear before Dublin District Court on October 11.
The DPP had directed earlier this year that he should be prosecuted over the alleged assault and a summons has formally been served on him by gardai for the court case.
He faces a single assault charge under Section Two of the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act.
It carries a maximum prison term of six months upon summary conviction, a fine of €1,500, or both.
CCTV footage of the incident emerged in August and appears to show McGregor throwing a single punch at the alleged victim.
The injured party, a male in his 50s, does not move from his seat, but turns to face McGregor as he is being taken away from the scene.
Staff can be seen reacting with shock following the incident.
One woman behind the bar is seen putting her hands up to her mouth.
McGregor, who is wearing a light brown sweater and glasses in the footage, then disappears out of camera shot.
A complaint was later made to detectives at Sundrive Road Garda Station and investigators took a statement from the alleged victim.
A spokesperson for McGregor has been contacted for comment in relation to his scheduled court appearance next week.
In May, the Herald revealed how McGregor had been quizzed by gardai in relation to the pub incident.
He was not formally arrested but met with detectives by appointment who questioned him on his version of events.
After the CCTV footage was widely circulated, McGregor appeared on ESPN where he apologised over the incident, saying: "I was in the wrong.
"That man deserved to enjoy his time in the pub without having to end the way it did.
"I tried to make amends and I made amends back then.
"It still, that doesn't even matter. I was in the wrong.
"I must come here before you and take accountability and take responsibility. I owe it to the people that have been supporting me.
"I owe it to my mother, my father, my family.
"I owe it to the people who trained me," he told the programme.
McGregor, a former double-weight UFC champion, has had a number of court appearances in recent years for a wide range of offences.
Just 24 hours before being quizzed over the Drimnagh pub incident, McGregor had charges against him dropped over the alleged robbery of a fan's phone in Florida.
The fighter - nicknamed 'The Notorious' - had been charged with robbery by sudden-snatching and criminal mischief over an incident involving a fan in Miami. The charges were dramatically dropped before the trial after the state prosecutor revealed that the alleged victim had refused to appear in court.
On July 26 last year, McGregor escaped a criminal conviction in New York over a well-publicised fracas at a UFC promo event at Barclays Centre in Brooklyn.
After a number of court appearances, the district attorney (DA) informed the judge that felony charges against McGregor were being dismissed.
He instead pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, avoiding jail and a criminal record as a result.
As part of the plea bargain struck between his legal team and the DA, the Dubliner had to carry out five days' community service and between one and three anger management classes.
McGregor has also appeared before the Irish courts previously in relation to road traffic offences.
Last November, he was disqualified from driving for six months and fined €1,000 for speeding. The fighter was clocked driving at 154kph in a zone with a 100kph limit.
The previous November he was fined €400 at Blanchardstown District Court for speeding.

text: Godfrey 1,644 Posted November 25, 2019 I watched mostly for the women's matches and despite some silliness I thought they delivered. Big weekend for Rhea and Keith Lee but they deserve it, especially Lee. They could both win the belts this week and hold them forever and everyone would be on board. The WALTER elimination is a bummer but at least he looked good against Braun first instead of getting one shotted like Mark Henry a few years back. I don't think it hurt him at all, I just wanted to see him wrestle more. They could've put off Cole/Dunne and the main would've had more heat and I'm sad to see Kofi on the pre-show but aside from that I thought it was a solid if overpopulated show. Kind of amazed they pulled off matches with that many people and few if any miscues. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZEISS Supreme Prime cine lenses might not be the go-to glass for an average indie job but these lenses certainly are a cutting-edge state of the art pieces of technology. The latest addition to the family goes by the name ZEISS Supreme Prime Radiance. Optically superb, yet slightly warmer and with added character. ZEISS Supreme Prime Radiance Lenses. (image credit: ZEISS) This new line of high-end cine lenses comes in seven focal lengths to start with: 21mm / 25mm / 29mm / 35mm / 50mm / 85mm and 100mm. All of them share the same specs other than focal length: fast T1.5 aperture length: 119mm (4.7″) / front to PL mount flange 95mm (3.7″) front diameter weight: 1.22 kg (3.13 lbs) -> 50mm up to 1.7 kg (3.74 lbs) -> 100mm close focus (from image plane): 0.26 m (10″) -> 25mm up to 1.1m (3'9″) -> 100mm new T* blue coating These are the facts, but what's the story? ZEISS Supreme Prime Radiance These new lenses are branded Radiance, as in Glow or Luminosity, even Vibrancy, maybe. According to ZEISS, they produce a slightly warmer overall look in comparison to the original Supreme Primes. However, the real magic here is how these Radiance lenses handle flares. The cinematographer should be able to obtain control if and how a given lens is flaring and to use these 'optical errors' to a creative benefit. And that's exactly the promise of the new T* blue coating. Rather than removing the lens coating in order to gain character, ZEISS decided to improve the formula of their already unique T* coating in a way that flares can be reproduced and controlled while still fighting nasty side effects. Watch a sample clip below but keep in mind that YouTube's auto-compression algorithms are not considered a cinematic gold standard. At all. According to ZEISS, they intentionally left out the more extreme focal lengths the regular Supreme Primes offer, 15mm or 200mm for example. Both lines mix'n'match just fine so you could add one or two Radiance versions along with a set of regular Supreme Primes. Here's a behind the scenes of the above clip: Controlling flares without their nasty side-effects such as loss of transmission or loss of contrast should be easier using these new lenses and adding a bit of a character to modern cine glass really seems to be the path the industry is heading down. With all these high-K cameras with ultra-low-noise sensors, the glass in front of it becomes the one thing in the chain you can choose deliberately to apply a certain look to your footage. The blue-ish flares of these Radiance primes are just gorgeous, at least to my eye. Judge for yourself in this final clip, a side by side comparison between Supreme Primes and Supreme Prime Radiance lenses: Just like the Supreme Primes, these Radiance variants come with support for ZEISS eXtended Data technology which is based on Cooke's /i technology but adds ZEISS's own distorting and shading lens data for streamlining post-production. Pricing and Availability As mentioned earlier, this is not a cheap set of lenses. To be honest, this not even a set of lenses you would buy at all. It's more targeted at rental houses or really big production companies, I'd say. One lens is about $24,000, the whole set of 7 clocks in at around $170,300.

Sony just announced the a9 II full-frame E-mount mirrorless camera. Aimed at professional sports photographers and photojournalistst, the Sony a9 II is all about speed. It has the same 24.2 MP CMOS sensor as the original a9. The camera is capable of 20fps continous blackout-free stills shooting with AF and AE tracking with electronic shutter (up to 10fps with mechanical shutter). The new a9 II also features better in-body image stabilization, weather resistance, and gigabit ethernet port for high speed communication. Available in October for $4,500 (€5,400). Sony a9 II Sony a9 sits on top of the alpha series of mirrorless cameras. It is aimed at professional photographers, who does not require the maximum possible resolution (for those Sony has the a7R series), but who require speed and other useful features (for example sports photographers and photojournalists). The first generation Sony a9 was presented during NAB 2017, so it has been more than two years. Today Sony announced the a9 II. What are its specs and innovations? Sony a9 II – Speed Above All As I mentioned above, the a9 series is all about speed. Sony a9 II (full model name: ILCE-9M2) features blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 20 frames per second (with electronic shutter) with Auto Focus and Auto Exposure tracking, 60 times per second AF/AE calculations. This applies for 1/125 sec. or higher shutter speed. In AF-C mode the maximum continuous frame rate will depend on the shooting mode and lens used. The number of AF calculations will depend on the lens used. A software update may be required for some lenses. The high speed shooting can last for up to 361 JPEG images or 239 compressed RAW images (in "Hi" continuous shooting mode with UHS-II memory card), with no viewfinder blackout, allowing the photographer to follow the subject and action with no interruption to the EVF during picture taking. For times when mechanical shutter is preferred or required, the new A9 II has been improved to shoot at up to 10 fps, about 2x the speed of the A9. Sony a9 II – Front and left side view The new camera now offers an anti-flicker shooting mode that automatically detects and adjusts for the presence of fluorescent or artificial lighting to maximise image quality. Please note, that only 100 Hz and 120 Hz flicker is detected. Continuous shooting speed may decrease. Flicker-free shooting is not available during electronic shutter, BULB exposure, or movie recording. The new A9 II has the same 35mm full-frame stacked 24.2 MP CMOS image sensor with integral memory as the original A9. There is an upgraded BIONZ X image processing engine to enhance speed in AF/AE detection, image processing, face detection and accuracy. What also got improved is the 5-axis optical in-body image stabilisation system that now provides a shutter speed advantage of 5.5 steps. Sony a9 II – Rear and right side view Fast Communication Sony a9 II includes an in-built 1000BASE-T Ethernet terminal, enabling gigabit communication for high-speed, stable data transfer operations. Additionally, File Transfer over SSL or TLS encryption (FTPS) is supported for increased data security and PC remote (tether) shooting performance is improved, with decreased release time lag and reduced live view screen delay when using the 'Remote Camera Tool' desktop application. The speed of the camera's built-in wireless LAN functionality has also been increased, adding a stable and fast 5 GHz (IEEE 802.11ac) band, in addition to the 2.4 GHz provided in the original a9. (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards are all supported, 5 GHz communication may be restricted in some countries and regions) Sony a9 II with battery grip / View of the Ethernet terminal The a9 II features a new Voice Memo function that allows spoken information to be attached to images in the form of voice memos that can be replayed when the images are reviewed. The voice data can also be included with images sent to an editor. Voice memos can also be automatically converted to text and added to JPEG images in the form of IPTC metadata using the 'Transfer & Tagging add-on' "Imaging Edge" application on a mobile device. This is only available in regions where Google services are available. Voice Memo exceeding 50 seconds cannot be converted to text. Fast Autofocus The a9 II focusing system is comprised of 693 focal-plane phase-detection AF points covering approximately 93% of the image area, as well as 425 contrast AF points. Additional notable focusing capabilities include Real-time Eye AF with right eye / left eye selection, Real-time Eye AF for animals (for stills only – Real-Time human eye AF is available for movie recording as well), Real-time Tracking, selectable focus frame colour, Touch Pad focus point control while using the viewfinder and more. Sony a9 II – Top view The Sony a9 II features upgraded dust and moisture resistant design. There is a stronger sealing at all body seams as well as the battery compartment cover and media slot. It uses Sony NP-FZ100 2280 mAh batteries. Improved grip configuration provides for more comfort and sure hold. The camera is compatible with Sony VG-C4EM Vertical Grip. There is now USB Type-C connector that supports fast USB 3.2 Gen 1 data transfer and dual media slots that are both compatible with UHS-I and UHS-II SD cards. Digital audio interface has been added to the camera's Multi Interface Shoe (MI Shoe) enabling the new ECM-B1M Shotgun Microphone or XLR-K3M XLR Adaptor Kit to be connected directly to the MI Shoe. Sony a9 II with lens Video Capabilities XAVC S codec at UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) at 24.00p/25p/29.97p with 60 to 100 Mb/s bitrate or at Full HD (1920 x 1080) at 24.00p/25p/29.97p/50p/59.94p/100p/119.88p with 50 to 100 Mb/s bitrate. All internal video recording is 8-bit 4:2:0. The camera is capable to output 8-bit 4:2:2 video up to 4K UHD externally via HDMI micro port. The camera features 3.5mm jack for microphone and a headphone jack. So unfortunately no improvements there, which means this camera will produce the same type of video we have become used to from the Sony Alpha series. Sony, we're waiting for your 10-bit capabilities in those cameras!! Price and Availability Sony a9 II will be available in October 2019. The price is set in the premium segment – around $4,500 (in Europe around €5,400 including VAT). What do you think of the new Sony a9 II? Do you have experience with the first generation?

Dream Chip Technologies GmbH from Garbsen Germany just announced their brand new "ATOM one SSM500" super slow-motion camera fully fitted for an EVS or stand-alone workflow. The 500 is the number of frames it can output in 1920×1080 @ up to 60fps via 4x 3G-SDI channels directly to the EVS for slow-motion replays. Let's take a fast first glance. Is this what sportscasters, tv stations and broadcasters have been waiting for? Decide for yourself. ATOM one SSM500 – Exploded View ATOM one SSM500 – Core Features With a 2/3″ CMOS Sensor and Full HD Resolution of 1920×1080, the camera supports shutter speeds from 1/25 – 1/10000s. The dimensions of the camera are rather small and compact, with 165mm in length and a diameter of 60mm. It weighs about 400g. This is similar to the Sony A7III (371g, body only) and equates to about 4x GoPro Hero 7 Silver units (94,4g each) or less than half the weight of a Canon 5D Mark III (860g, body only). Camera control is operable via RS485 and IP, while the camera uses a voltage range of 11V – 36V at a power consumption of 20W (1,7A @ 12V). Framerates (1920 x1080): 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 50.94, 60, 50i, 59.94i, 60i ATOM one SSM500 – Inputs and Outputs (Backside) Video outputs EVS SSM mode or Trigger mode are offered with a recording time of 60 seconds @ 500fps (internal memory), while 500fps also is the highest possible frame rate. The colour sampling changes with the frame rates chosen: 300fps @ 12bit – 500 fps @ 10bit. The native ISO (sensitivity) of the CMOS sensor is ISO 640, and the camera offers HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) and PQ (Perceptual Quantizer) as HDR modes. The camera makes use of the C-Mount. ATOM one SSM500 – Front View All the information here is from press documents by Dream Chip. The manufacturer states that all the data contains preliminary information and is subject to change without notice. Aside from that, information on the dynamic range of the camera was neither available from lab tests nor manufacturer information. Workflow ATOM one SSM500 – Slow-Motion Workflow ATOM one SSM500 – Final Notes The ATOM one SSM500 has now extended the line of ATOM one cameras and seems mainly designed for sports and event coverage purposes. Due to its weight and size, it easily fits with all types of camera mounting options, such as on a Polecam or attached to sports goals, among numerous other options. Users familiar with EVS systems and workflow environments will find this camera easy to integrate for all types of slow-motion replays when covering sports games. Aside from these larger productions, the camera is also usable for smaller projects or in cases of stand-alone usage. When used all by itself the ATOM one SSM500 records internally and integrates smoothly with the free ProVideo Software, that takes care of the process. ATOM one SSM500 – Side View What do you think about the new ATOM one SSM500 camera? Do you see any uses for it in your field of production?Read more

The new memory card from SanDisk is the world's first 1TB microSD card. It is certified as UHS-I V30 for video and A2 for use in smartphones (minimum random read and write for launching and loading apps). The card is now available for pre-order. New 1TB MicroSD Memory Card from SanDisk. SanDisk, a part of Western Digital, is a popular company when it comes to reliable memory cards. Majority of my memory cards are from SanDisk and, although they can be a bit pricey, they never failed me. SanDisk announced the world's fastest 1TB UHS-I microSD flash memory card already at the end of February at Mobile World Congress. Now it is possible to pre-order this memory card. What are its features apart from the gigantic capacity? SanDisk 1TB MicroSD Memory Card The 1TB SanDisk Extreme UHS-I microSD card reaches speeds up to 160MB/s (read) and up to 90MB/s (write). The cards reach these speeds by leveraging Western Digital's proprietary flash technology. For us filmmakers, the minimum certified writing speed is the most important number and that is V30 (30MB/s). That means this card can sustain a bitrate of 240Mbps without any problem. The new SanDisk Extreme card will also be available in 512GB capacity. The cards are shockproof, temperature-proof, waterproof, and X-ray-proof. Those new cards feature the A2 specification for launching and loading apps. That defines performance as minimum random read of 4000IOPS, minimum random write of 2000IOPS and minimum sustained sequential write of 10MB/s. The A classes are specifically created for use with smartphones which need quick access to lots of small files when running apps directly from a memory card. More information about this application performance class can be found here. The 1TB microSD card comes with a full-size SD adapter. On a side note – the SDXC (Secure Digital eXtended Capacity) technology announced in January 2009 supports cards up to 2TB of capacity. When it comes to speed, it maxes out theoretically at 312 MB/s over the four-lane (two differential lanes) UHS-II bus. Previous SDHC had a maximum limit of 32GB. The upcoming technology SDUC (Secure Digital Ultra Capacity) was announced in June 2018 and it will support memory cards with a hard-to-imagine capacity of up to 128TB and speeds up to 985 MB/s. Do we need 1TB MicroSD Card Right Now? The possible benefits of such a huge card for us filmmakers could be the use in smartphones, drones and action cameras. 1TB of storage might come handy if you want, for instance, record a very long timelapse with a GoPro and you can't swap cards. It can also be good if you capture a lot of video content with your Android phone. Now, for instance the FiLMiC Pro app does not allow to record video with the highest bitrate settings directly to the SD cards, but you can transfer those big files there later and make space in your internal memory for more clips. Of course, there's always a danger of losing a lot of footage of a large card goes bust out lost, so its immense size shouldn't be the only consideration. Other than that, the only downfall I see with this card right now is its price. The MSRP of the new 1TB microSD form SanDisk is a whopping $449.99 US ($199.99 for the 512GB version). That's simply how it is with innovative products. With world's largest capacity memory cards it has always been the case. Sure, if you don't need 1TB of storage on one card and you can swap cards, then you are better off with two 512GB cards right now. There are situations, however, when you simply need all that capacity on one card and SanDisk allows that now. What do you think of the new 1TB microSD card from SanDisk? Did you ever need all that capacity on one microSD card? Let us know in the comments underneath the article.Read more

Sony keeps on refining its flagship camera, the VENICE. With an optional HFR (high frame rate) license this beast will be capable of shooting 4K at 120fps. The firmware 4.0 itself will be free of charge but the optional HFR mode will require a credit card swipe. Both updates will be available in June 2019. When Sony releases firmware version 4.0 for its VENICE flagship digital cinema camera in June this year, it will come with an optional software module which requires some extra cash. While the cost is yet to be determined, the features are set already. Sony VENICE 4.0 Sony is working closely with James Cameron's Lightstorm Entertainment on their upcoming extension system (CBK-3610XS) which basically splits the camera in two pieces: the comparably tiny camera head and the actual camera (read: recorder) itself, tethered together via a single cable and up to 5.5m apart from each other. The system is currently being used to shoot the AVATAR sequels. Firmware version 4.0 adds support for this upcoming tech plus some nice additions for pro shooters: Support for Cooke's latest /i3 and ZEISS eXtended Data technology (which is based on Cooke /i Technology) 700 Protocol for remote controlling the VENICE extended Mask+Line setting in the Frame line set-up selectable functions for the assignable buttons of the DVF-EL200 viewfinder progressive HD-SDI output in 25p and 29p With the newly developed 700 protocol, Sony is further expanding the camera's existing remote-control capabilities. The VENICE now offers paint control, iris control, recording start/stop and clip control. This could be useful for multi-camera setups as well as live events. Support for the Cooke /i3 and Zeiss eXtended Data protocols enables embedding the incoming metadata straight into a RAW/X-OCN/XAVC file or the HD-SDI output of the VENICE. Since there's no need for dedicated metadata equipment this welcomed update helps reducing clutter around the camera on set. The embedded metadata speeds up and simplifies post production workflows for high end shoots. Optional HFR Mode – 4K 120p On top of the free to download firmware 4.0 there will be an optional HFR license key for purchase ($$ tbd). That HFR (high frame rate) key will unlock the following recording options on the VENICE: 120fps at 4K 2.39:1 60fps at 6K 3:2 110fps at 4K 17:9 75fps at 4K 4:3 anamorphic Originally Sony planned to release just a 2k 120p mode but, as Sebastian Leske (Product Marketing Manager, Cinematography) claims: Last year at Cine Gear Expo, we announced that Version 4.0 will include 120fps in 2K. However, we are excited to announce today that, as a result of the hard work of our engineering team, Version 4.0 will now include 120fps in 4K. All High Frame Rates support X-OCN recording including X-OCN XT (not available for 6K 3:2 50p/60p ). High frame rates up to 60fps support XAVC 4K and ProRes recording, too. Pricing and Availability Both the firmware update 4.0 and the optional HFR license will be available in June 2019. Pricing on the HFR license is yet to be determined, the firmware itself will be free to download. It's nice to see Sony's efforts in making the VENICE a better and more robust camera with every update. Other companies, however, like RED for example, deliver their cameras with everything there is (software-wise at least). No paid licenses are required in order to shoot 120 fps at 5K 2.4:1 with a RED Dragon-X 5K S35. Let's see how much cash you have to spend for that HFR upgrade! Links: Sony What do you think?

This is a classic RED moment. Using their own reduser.net forum, Jarred Land has announced a new camera by simply posting a single picture of it. The RED Ranger called camera won't be for sale, though. Your only way to get your hands on one is to check with your local RED authorized rental house in early February. This new RED Ranger camera is a rental-only item. RED's CEO Jarred Land explained over at reduser.net that these cameras as you can imagine are pretty expensive to make in low quantites. It doesnt really make sense unless you buy at least 10 of them. The rental houses were smart and after a discussion I had with them as a group at cinegear, this is the result. So the Red Ranger can be seen as a custom built-to-order camera. Land notes that anyone could inquire about such a custom camera, but you would have to order a ton of them.. RED Ranger This camera looks like a slimmed down Panavision DXL2 which makes total sense since RED, among Panavision and Light Iron, is one of the three main contributors to the DXL line of cameras. It sports the same sensor, too: The RED Monstro 8K VV. This sensor features over 16 stops of dynamic range, it's able to capture 16-bit RAW footage, sports a native ISO setting of 1600, and offers recording in up to 60 fps in 8K (12:1 recdcode) RAW. It's 40.96mm wide and 21.6 millimeters tall capturing images at nearly twice the area of standard S35 sensors. Panavision DXL2 cinema camera The new form factor of the RED Ranger camera satisfies the demands of a fully-fledged production: Lots of I/O is already on board, no need for additional modules. This might be a little bit contrary to the "obsolescence obsolete" statement of RED but in this case a single package that leaves nothing to wish for seems to be a good idea. Further Specifications None. This typical RED announcement leaves us with lots of room for chatter and speculations. Since the RED Ranger should be available at several RED authorized rental houses pretty soon we'll be able to learn more about this new camera in just a few weeks. Image courtesy of Matthew Tremblay, Jarred Land and RED Digital Cinema. The RED Ranger is not the first custom RED camera. Remember this freaky RED Helium beast of a camera? Or the custom RED Xenomorph they build for David Fincher back in 2016? So it appears that RED likes to build custom cameras.. You just need to have very deep pockets (or an A-list directors name on your ID card). The Future of RED While this RED Ranger is a rental item only, maybe this is a glimpse into the future of RED cameras. The DSMC (digital stills and motion camera) and DSMC2 designs are not for everybody since the brain itself doesn't get you very far. In most cases you need to spend the same amount on additional modules and accessories. This Ranger concept would give us a complete camera in one package which, to me, would be nice. How about you?

2018 is almost over and these lines were supposed to summarize the almost 365 days behind us and provide a glimpse of 2019. But instead of listing each and every major tech product of 2018, I'll take a slightly different approach. What is the future of indie filmmaking and how does modern gear technology in mirrorless cameras helps to shape that future? image credit (cropped): Lucas Favre via Unsplash.com FUJIFILM X-T3, Canon EOS R, Nikon Z6 and Z7, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K (BMPCC4K), Sony A7 III or the Panasonic GH5 / GH5s to name just a few (make sure to read Johnnie's article about best small cameras of 2018). All these cameras are tiny in comparison to proper digital cinema cameras. And all of these cameras are very potent filmmaking devices which were impossible to think of just a few years ago. Video Technology The one key spec which impacts the resulting video quality the most is bit-depth and chroma sub-sampling. There are more factors, but the ability of recording 4:2:2 10-bit is one of the most important factors that sets a pro camera apart from a consumer camera. Guess what: this barrier is about to collapse. The GH5, released in early 2017, is already capable of recording 4:2:2 10-bit internally but it sports a micro four thirds sensor "only". Many of the mirrorless cameras of 2018 either record 4:2:2 10-bit internally or at least output it via HDMI. The BMPCC4K records raw as a cDNG stream (Blackmagic RAW seems to be around the corner) but –again– it "only" uses a micro four thirds sensor. The Sony A7 III tops out at 4:2:0 8-bit (internally) and 4:2:2 8-bit (externally) but it sports a full-frame sensor. Wait and see what the upcoming a7S III will offer! The FUJIFILM X-T3 does 4:2:0 10Bit internally and steps up to 4:2:2 externally, all with a super35 (APS-C) sized sensor. With cameras like the Panasonic Lumix S1 and S1R and the aforementioned Sony a7S III, which are anticipated for an 2019 release, the number of 4:2:2 10-bit capable devices with large sensors will grow but the compactness of the camera bodies will remain the same. Pro technology trickles down to more affordable gear, that's a trend which started earlier of course but in 2018 we got to a point at which the transition from mega-bucks cameras to very affordable gear is in full swing. The point is: These less and less bulky cameras don't compromise on quality any longer. To me, 2018 marks the year in which the equation small device = poor quality is no longer valid. This opens a door to a new thinking and new concepts for indie filmmakers. Other Gear It's not only cameras, obviously. Everything regarding indie filmmaking gear gets smaller, more lightweight yet super capable without compromising on quality. The good ol' V-mount / Gold mount batteries for powering your (big) pro camera are now available in tiny sizes. Bebob offer their V-micro line of batteries, CoreSWX have the Hypercore 9 Mini and the Power Base EDGE (even as a specialized model for the BMPCC 4K). Building a decent rig becomes a whole lot simpler if the battery is not the bulkiest part of it! External video recording is still a thing, for obvious reasons. But even solutions for full-fledged external recording become smaller and yet as feature-packed as full-sized gear. The Atomos Ninja V fits a mirrorless rig perfectly while the larger Shogun Inferno might seem a little bulky on such a camera. The BMPCC4K renders an external recorder obsolete and to be honest I'd be happy to see more (smallish) cameras with such potent recording options, including high frame rates, in 2019. Stabilizing Shots Internal sensor stabilization is another buzz word of 2018. Not every camera has it and it's one of these things which might tip your buying decision to one or the other make and model. If you, like me, chose a non-stabilized body such as the superb FUJIFILM X-T3 you might want to get a gimbal for certain smooth tracking shots. In 2018, grabbing a powerful yet decently priced one, is not a problem anymore (here's our review of the X-T3). The gap between huge devices such as the MōVI Pro or the DJI Ronin 2 and smaller single handed gimbals is no longer very big. Sure, a bigger device can handle (way) higher payloads but the single handed Ronin-S is indeed a very capable gimbal for all of the aforementioned mirrorless cameras (here's our review of the Ronin-S)! It's actually kind of overpowered for such a camera which ensures very good reliability and performance even for demanding movements. Other options are the Tilta Gravity G2X or the new Zhiyun Crane 3 Lab. DJI Mavic 2 Pro. Source: DJI Wanna film things from above? The new DJI Mavic 2 Pro is a pocket-sized drone which packs lots of punch for its tiny size. You can carry one of those along with your other gear all the time. If you need it: it's there waiting to lift off. If you don't: no worries, maybe next time. Compared to that bringing an Inspire 2 to set is a bit of a hassle. The Inspire 2 is the better drone, sure, but for many use cases the Mavic 2 will be just fine without comprising too much on image quality. Packing Stuff You see where this is heading, right? In late 2018 you can pack a whole truckload worth of filmmaking gear into one reasonable sized backpack. Useful options would be the new Peak Design Travel Backpack complete with packing cubes in various sizes (2018) or the WANDRD PRVKE (from 2016). Peak Design Travel Backpack (with folded away straps). It's all about portable, versatile, customizable and modular gear. Everything gets smaller, yet more powerful. Being a one-man band is not an obstacle anymore but an opportunity. Grab your bag and go. Camera, on-board monitor, lenses, gimbal, drone, travel tripod, batteries, media, it's all in there! All of the above-listed gear would leave the technically savvy guy (or gal) of 2015 with an incredulous look and a strong craving reflex. Just because the specs seem to be way too good to be true for such smallish pieces of gear. State of Mirrorless Cameras You could easily employ a recent mirrorless camera as a B-cam next to a proper camera such as a Canon C300 mark II. Depending on the job, you could even replace the bigger camera without being left behind with bad image quality. You can use a Mavic 2 Pro instead of a Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 or Inspire 2. Sure, there are differences in terms of image quality but the point is: The Mavic 2 Pro is not bad – at all! The aforementioned gear is not inferior just because it's not playing in the premier league of filmmaking. All of it is very decent indeed. Nice cam.. but it's huge! Image credit: Jakob Owens via Unsplash.com Being in this business for more than a decade (15 years to be exact) I know that cutting edge gear always was kind of the minimum requirement for most jobs. And I think these times are over for good. Cutting edge gear will always be a thing but for the average indie filmmaker it's not only OK but very reasonable to employ average prized gear for their jobs. As I've stated before: Average doesn't mean inferior any longer. Just like with audio gear, video gear doesn't need to be cutting edge anymore in order to perform at a very decent level. Pro cameras will always play their role and depending on the job they are worth the bulk and cost. On many other jobs, however, a smaller package will do just fine. Just grab your tiny yet super powerful mirrorless camera and off you go! Post on the go And when you're done shooting, recent developments transform your laptop into a pro workstation: Just connect a portable eGPU and edit / grade / export away. Everything in a traditional post production pipeline can be achieved using a laptop right there in the field. Again, full-fledged post suites are still a thing of course but you can do it on the go. This was impossible in 2015 but here we are on the brink of 2019… This is the future and it will evolve in 2019 and beyond. As I stated in the beginning, this article was meant to sum up 2018 and in a way it did. My approach is putting together a one-bag solution with 2018 tech for all my indie filmmaking needs for 2019 and I will write up a dedicated post once I've finished building it.
