Vitec Group Bring Solutions To Cine Gear Expo

The Vitec Group are exhibiting their latest products and solutions at Cine Gear Expo, booths 64 and 65, including Litepanels' Astra 3X/6X and the OConnor 2560 fluid camera head.

Litepanels will unveil upgrades to its professional LED lighting range. Following on from the Astra 1x1 panel, Litepanels' next-gen Astra 3X and 6X LED lights feature a 50% increase in output with a decrease in power consumption. In addition, the daylight-balanced Sola 4+ LED Fresnel offers a 120% increase in brightness and the Sola 6+ a 50% increase compared with their predecessors.

The OConnor 2560 fluid camera head offers flexibility for both lightweight and heavy rig setups. The 2560 offers cine-standard position of controls, including brakes, and a front handle mount for controlled positioning of the camera, as well as a lightweight magnesium housing and carbon-fiber cover. The 2560 supports any lightweight digital cinema camera, such as those from Sony, Canon, ARRI, AJA, JVC, Panasonic, Vision Research, and RED, in a "maxed-out" studio configuration.

Anton/Bauer will demonstrate its new LPD Discharger at Cine Gear Expo 2017. A dedicated discharge unit, it is capable of discharging up to four 90 Wh batteries in three hours or less. The LPD helps rental houses and traveling production crews ensure compliance with IATA regulations regarding Li-ion batteries, which must be charged to 30% or less of their rated capacity when transported as air cargo.

As a special deal at Cine Gear Expo, attendees who stop by the booths will be able to take 50% off list price on selected products from Vitec Group's demo stock, while supplies last.

Paul Weiser, VP of Sales for Vitec Group, Americas and Asia-Pacific Regions, said: "Cine Gear Expo is an exciting venue for our cinema brands to showcase their latest innovations that advance the quality and science of film production. A great example is OConnor's camera heads, which have been used on almost every Hollywood movie feature and episodic TV drama since the early 1990s. We're also happy to be presenting all-new, much brighter versions of our Astra and Sola LED lights, which give filmmakers even more output than the original LED models."
