What's the difference between a battery and a fuel cell? A battery merely stores electrons, but fuel cells make them. In addition, a standard rechargeable brick battery runs for about two hours, whereas N-Gen can last four to five hours before needing a refill. Fuel cells are faster, too: a brick battery takes about six hours to recharge, up to six times longer than it takes to refill an N-Stor canister. This means that television camera operators will be able to replace three inefficient six-pound brick batteries with one highly efficient N-Gen system at a total of seven pounds. http://www.yubanet.com/artman/publish/article_48392.shtml ExpoTV... the YouTube of Product Reviews!

BubblePLY has created an easy way to add comic-book style bubbles to videos from popular video sharing sites. Markertek thinks this effect may have applications other than video sharing sites. Perhaps as a clever way to spice up your upcoming video production. www.bubbleply.com Motorola Patents Bacteria Killing Technology Motorola has patented a cell phone that kills bacteria lodged in the microphone and earpiece cavities. The phone contains an LED that radiates ultra-violet light with a wavelength of 250 nanometers, which is particularly lethal to bacteria. Optical guides inside the phone body steer the UV light into the cavities and sanitizing takes just three minutes. www.motorola.com Innovative Telephone Interface Connects Personal Phones to Blogs & Network Markertek has learned that a new start-up firm has designed a way to bring voice to social networks and blogs. With the free Jaxtr service, users can link their phones with their online network to hear from callers worldwide while keeping their existing phone numbers private! It’s a real time, live call-in show format for both the audience and the producer. www.jaxtr.com More Than Half of all Internet Users Shooting Video! -But... A new study found that 54 percent of adult internet users are shooting video but only 11 percent upload it to the internet. One of the chief reasons for the disparity between producing and posting video is the difficulty consumers have with the editing and upload process. Markertek recommends you check out our Professional VideoCasting / PodCasting Center. We have the solutions! www.markertek.com/podcast.asp New Consortium Formed to Develop Standard for Wireless HD No more cables for HD? WirelessHD, which intends to specify the unlicensed, globally available 60 GHz frequency band, will enable wireless uncompressed high-definition, high-quality video and data transmission and is first targeted to be built into HDTV's as well as a wide range of audio video (A/V) devices, both fixed location and portable. www.wirelesshd.org First Live HDTV Broadcast From Space On Nov. 15, 2006, NASA, a Markertek customer, made history with the first live HDTV broadcast from space, in cooperation with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, Discovery HD Theater and the Japanese broadcast network NHK. Images from this historic event flashed across the screen in Times Square! www.nasa.gov HearHere™ -- A Search Engine for Audio & Video is Here Here! Pluggd, a Seattle-based audio and video search start-up,has developed a web friendly way to search words in an audio or video production using speech recognition. This technology could be big for broadcasters to marry the web experience with video and audio content. www.pluggd.com Markertek client MTV Networks has created a new unit dedicated to growing its mobile-entertainment business. MTVN Mobile Media will be responsible for managing mobile partnerships and content distribution and will support the teams at individual MTVN brands in developing mobile content and applications including personalization, entertainment, information and messaging products. “MTVN Mobile Media will help our brands to take it even further in distribution and product development, and it will expand our global wireless footprint even more so that the communities around our brands can access our content anywhere,” said MTVN chairman and CEO Judy McGrath. www.mtv.com VISIT THE MARKERTEK ONLINE NEWS CHANNEL EVERY DAY FOR MORE INDUSTRY-FIRST BREAKING NEWS....

Markertek customer STS is pleased to announce the addition of a new hybrid C/Kuband HD truck to its state-of-the-art fleet of satellite uplink trucks. The new truck has the combined capabilities of two complete satellite trucks. It features a 4.6meter C-band dish and a separate, 1.8-meter Ku-band dish. STS President Charles Spoto says the new dual-band truck will be especially useful at special events where both C-band and Ku-band are needed because “you don’t have the expense of two trucks traveling to that location.” “We’ll be able to put up four digital paths at once, where with a normal truck you usually only have two,” says Spoto. He notes that the reduced costs of space and parking will be an added benefit to customers. The new one-of-a-kind truck — designed by the technical crew at STS and built by Frontline Communications of Florida — can deliver high-definition (HD), standard MPEG2 and analog transmissions. The truck is set up to deliver C-band event broadcasts in HD or standard definition, as well as satellite news gathering. The C-band antenna is a dual-offset reflector with rapid-deployment mount assembly, like the Ku-band transportables on the other two STS trucks. The C-band reflector is made of precision dual-skin monocque with aluminum feed supports and base mounts. This results in superior stiffness and high performance under wind-loading conditions. The antenna, which is designed to military specifications, is the highest-quality C-band transportable available. Check out www.satellitetechsys.com for more on these amazing rigs. Carr-Hughes Productions goes Mobile with Video Production Trailer Built by Markertek! Greenfield Center, NY - Jim Carr of Carr-Hughes Productions checked in during a breather from being out on the road producing in their new Markertek-built mobile production trailer, the VPTR-1.

The Carr-Hughes Mobile Edit Unit features the powerful Avid Adrenaline editing suite to handle production needs in a comfortable and professional environment. All the equipment is contained in a custom designed production trailer with full heating and AC onboard as well as conventional work areas for producers. "We're proud to be bringing this state of art solution to the field," said Jim Carr, Lead Producer and Director as well as a co-owner of Carr-Hughes. "In addition, with the Air Speed Avid set-up we can acquire, edit and even play-out instantly, even as we're taking the feed in." The trailer was an instant production solution for CBS and the Speed Channel over the 17-week 2006 Amp'd Mobile Supercross international tour.

How did a broadcast supply house set a national speed record? Well, Mark, owner/founder of Markertek, happens to be a motorcycle enthusiast, and he and some friends have a motorcycle (BMW, Ducati, Jawa, British bikes, new and vintage) club that meets on Tuesday nights. Last March, they caught ‘World’s Fastest Indian’ starring Anthony Hopkins at a little movie theatre in Rosendale, NY. Thus inspired, club members Scott Kolb and Chris Bernard approached Mark about fabricating a 100%-custom streamliner motorcycle, and entering it in the world motorcycle speed trials at Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah in September—only five months later! Could it be done? It could! In short, on September 4, 2006, they broke the national land speed record for a partial streamliner motorcycle with a 100%-custom frame in the 125cc class at 119.368 miles per hour. The previous record was set in 1978 at 115 miles per hour. What’s their secret? Mark says “it was true Markertek ‘get-it-done’ philosophy, pairing brilliant shop technology with plenty of coffee. And TecNec gaffers tape.” Other highlights from the event included the fastest motorcycle record, set by seven-time AMA flat-track champion Chris Carr at 354 mph out and a return speed of 347 mph in the Bub Streamliner. Markertek-Fueled 125cc / 100% Custom Frame Class Winner Markertek will be back next year to break another record! Some Markertek customers were on the flats as well: Speedvision, Discovery Channel (Biker Build-Off) and uplink buddy Dave Garbutt from Wild Hare Satellite. www.wildharesat.com Check out all the action at BUB Racing. www.bub.com © BUB Racing / Helen Strang Woodstock Film Festival & Markertek Score Big Win The Woodstock Film Festival celebrated its seventh year of 'fiercely independent' film this year. From October 11th through October 15th, film industry players came together over an outstanding collection of over 150 films, panels, concerts and special events in Woodstock, NY and the neighboring towns of Rhinebeck, Hunter, and Rosendale. Meira Blaustein & Matt Dillon © WFF / J. Kelley The roster of international films includes seven world premieres, two North American premieres, seven U.S. premieres, nine East Coast premieres and fifteen New York premieres. Submissions were up nearly one-third over last year, to some 2,000, reflecting the continued growth of the festival's role in the independent film world. The overall increase in submissions included a substantial rise in world cinema and documentary entries. This year's festival attracted over 15,000 visitors over the five-day span. The 7th Annual Woodstock Film Festival welcomed filmmakers and industry leaders alike to its annual gala in New York's beautiful Hudson Valley to packed houses and rave reviews. As Presenting Sponsor, Markertek was proud to share in the success of the WFF's best year to date, featuring some of the industry's best talent in directing, producing and acting. Barbara Kopple & Rosie Perez Markertek was also pleased to showcase its continued focus and support of digital cinematography. Many of the feature films were crafted purely in the digital domain, most notably The Orange Thief (Winner of Best Editing for Feature Narrative), shot digitally and edited in Apple's Final Cut Pro. Orange Thief's win offered proof that quality feature films don't require a Hollywood budget to produce. © WFF / J. Kelley With presenters such as Matt Dillon, Rosie Perez, Melissa Leo, John Sloss, Rachel Grady, Arianna Bocco and Patrick Smith, the Woodstock Film Festival once again proved that this is a world class event. The Woodstock Film Festival is the pride of the Hudson Valley Region as its annual event continues the tradition of visual art, music, crafts, theater and alternative lifestyles befitting the Woodstock name.

Kelley Breaking News • Tech Tips • Unique Solutions for Broadcast and Pro-Audio Professionals Markertek Tech Solutions Prepared By The Markertek Engineering Department Little Known Quick Time Feature Are you a QuickTime Pro 7 user? If so, you may not be aware of a cool time-saving feature that's "flown under the radar"... until now! QuickTime Pro 7 provides the ability to record audio or video directly to a QuickTime file. If you just need a quick capture, you won't need to use a third-party application to make it happen. You can go Pro at Apple’s web site for just $29.99. Simply connect your camera or mic, and launch QuickTime Pro. Pull down the File menu, and choose "New Movie Recording" or "New Audio Recording", and a new preview window will open. Click the red "Record" button on the bottom, and away you go! Go Pro, and you will be able to record faster than you can say "Podcast"! DV Black Level Problem: I have noticed that some DV devices output black level at 0 IRE. I am accustomed to the black level of video at 7.5 IRE. When I edit footage from broadcast equipment the black is set at 7.5. When I mix it with DV footage where the level is 0 IRE, I have a mismatch. What is the best way to deal with this? Solution You can use a transcoder which allows the black level to be set at 7.5 IRE. The LAIRD LTM-6000D will work very well for this. If you have a transcoder that keeps the level at 0 IRE then you can pass the signal through any good Time Base Corrector and the black level will be added on the output. SDI Monitoring Problem: I need a low cost solution to monitor my SDI signal while recording to my VTR. Solution: What is needed here is a 'sniffer'. A sniffer is an industry term for a means to visually check the signal and make sure it is as desired. Delvcam makes a cost effective 7” dual LCD SDI/Composite Video rack-mount monitor (DELV-2LCD-7XLS). This 'sniffer' works perfectly for composite and SDI monitoring and is just $1395.99. SDI to DV Signal Conversion Many editors really appreciate the world of DV-based edit systems such as Avid Express and Vegas Video. These powerful NLE systems work on most PCs & Macs and allow a desktop approach to editing. There are situations when a project shot in SDI needs to be edited in DV for presentation and cost effective reasons. The solution is a high quality signal transcoder such as the LAIRD LTM-6000D. This product will accept all analog and SDI signals and convert them to Firewire (IEEE1394) DV signals. It handles audio and video in digital and analog formats. The 6000D also works as a stand-alone signal converter which smoothly works between the analog world and digital. Long Haul HDMI Runs Problem: I need to make a long run HDMI connection, but heard there is a limitation on HDMI cable lengths. What can I use to get good long distance HDMI cable runs? Solution: The standard length is 5 meters or 15 feet. However, there are several manufacturers of HDMI cable extender products which will drive “long haul” HDMI cables. I would suggest you purchase them from a reputable distributor that has tested and confirmed their operations. An excellent piece is the Ocean Matrix Long Haul HDMI Repeater. Model number: OMX-HDMIREP. It works in-line, includes a power supply and typical extended run lengths are up to 150 feet. WAVELENGTH Product Focus Professional video editors will significantly benefit from a pair of products manufactured by Laird Telemedia. For those of you who don’t know Laird, they’ve been around for almost 40 years and have a stellar reputation as one of the top manufacturers in the broadcast industry. We have seen significant sales and interest in the LTM-6000D broadcast spec DV-SDI media converter and the LTM-ER4HD edit router. -Both are core products for any edit suite. The Anything to Anything Box Converts SDI, DV, Component, Digital Audio and More LTM-ER4HD Manage Your Media Flow A 4-Machine Multiformat Signal Router for Non-Linear Edit Systems The LTM-ER4HD is a unique 4x1x4 NLE router. Select your audio, video, or RS422 independently or together to and from your NLE—we’ve even included full duplex RS422 machine control. The ER4HD is passive, so whether you need to switch HD, SDI or analog video, the LTM-ER4HD will do the trick. It will not, however, convert signals. That’s where the LTM-6000D to the right comes in handy. We recommend that you visit the Laird booth at NAB 2007 to get your eyes on these great products. Laird booth SL2009 will be next to Avid in the Main Hall. This one does it all and then some! Today’s studios and post houses are operating under all sorts of hybrid conditions between digital and analog. Many still have clients bringing in anything from mini-DV to Betacam to VHS. When it comes to signal conversion, Laird’s Inertia is the answer! It has I/Os for SDI, FireWire, Component, S-Video and Composite in addition to AES/EBU digital audio and 2-channel analog XLR audio. A clever feature of the Inertia is its simultaneous outputs. There’s enough outputs on this thing to sink a ship! No matter what you’re converting to and from, all outputs are always live and there are two sets for each video format. We use this feature to make client DVD dubs while dumping out our master, and use another Inertia output to confidence-monitor the process.

The OMX-ADA1X3 splits a single input source into three identical outputs with no discernible signal degradation. The machine allows a signal output level reaching +18dBm, and has front panel accessible right/left signal level controls thus making it suitable for all professional applications. It can also be used as a 1:3 unbalanced audio stereo DA. The OMX-ADA1X3 is fed from an external 12V DC, and is housed in an extremely compact enclosure, making it ideal for field use as well. OMX-ADA1X3 • Reg. $180.00 Discount Price $119.00 The Ocean Matrix DA1X54 is a high quality 1x54 Composite Video Distribution Amplifier using BNC connectors. It is comprised of three independent 1x18 channels with looping inputs, so the 1x54 configuration requires that the three channels be looped together using short cables. The three channel design allows it to serve as a 1x18 DA for component video or RGsB sources, or as three separate 1x18 DA's for composite video. The OMX-DA1X54 offers exceptionally flexible controls. Each channel is subdivided into four groups of either three or five outputs, and each group has its own set of gain and cable EQ controls to optimize signals for different cable lengths.

A Flexible, Semi-Rigid Wrappable Split Braided Sleeve! F6’s unique split, semi-rigid braided construction makes it the ideal solution for situations where ease of installation is of primary importance. The lateral split allows the tube to open up to accommodate a wide variety of bundling requirements, and the semi-rigid braid configuration simply closes around the entire installation without the need for any additional fasteners (velcro, tape, etc.) The 10 mil PET braid is lightweight, quiet and flexible. The 25% edge overlap (at nominal diameter) allows coverage around inline plugs, connectors and splices. F6 will bend to a tight radius without distorting or splitting open and, unlike full rigid tubing, will not impair or affect the flexibility of harnesses.
