P+S Technik To Open New Office

Designers and manufacturers of a variety of camera rigs, including those for stereoscopic 3-D production have opened a new sales office in the heart of Hollywood.
Munich-based P + S Technik have traveled over water to the lot of CBS Television Center Studios to support their North American customers.
According to Broadcast Engineering the company said the new location would serve as a single point of contact for customers, cinematographers, directors, technicians and business partners.
The Munich-based manufacturer of top end professional film equipment most recently unveiled their latest camera at IBC 2011.
P+s Technik said: "In the transition to digital a barrier occurred that limited the possibilities of the visual language: Digital Cinematography Cameras did not support fast frame rates and crisp image quality for the flexible use of standard, slow and fast frame rates with one camera, so far. Usually the use of special frame rates, especially their flexible daily use, is out of budget of most productions."
They claimed that the smart design of their brand new PS-Cam X35 breaks down this
barrier because it is the first film-style Digital Cinematography Camera made for the daily creative use of various kinds of special speed and motion effects: slow motion, fast motion, ramped motion and time lapse motion.
The firms new US address is: P+S Technik GmbH Technical Base, 6418 Santa Monica Blvd, #8200 I, Los Angeles, CA 90038. Phone: 323-467-6000.
