Join us for a SMPTE meeting at TALAMAS on Wednesday, November 18. 
This event will explore the latest trends in cinematic multicam production, with hands-on demonstrations 
that showcase the Flypack system’s flexibility. We’ll highlight how Brainstorm DXD-8, Multidyne 
Silverback VB, Skaarhoj and openGear Platform enable our Flypack to integrate seamlessly with a 
wide range of equipment and production environments. The DXD-8 allows our rig to be flexible with timing requirements for any production. 
We will demonstrate how the Silverback VB lets any camera function as a studio camera. Skaarhoj 
enables unified control by connecting a wide range of devices, such as cameras, switchers, and routers, 
to a single platform, streamlining complex operations and improving workflow efficiency. 
OpenGear integrates a variety of processing and conversion tools for maximum adaptability. The system includes Cobalt AUD 4 frame sync, Cobalt Multiviewer, and AJA ColorBox openGear cards to provide  robust audio, monitoring, and color management. Connect with industry professionals as we discuss creative workflow solutions and innovative broadcast approaches. We look forward to seeing you there.
