2007 Boot :: HGVT
On the HGVT booth Mr. Görlitz presents some nice new innovations and concepts
for the underwater videography world. The most intersting news for me was a new
electronic control system, which allows to control two Sony HC1 camcorder absolutely
synchronized. But why is this useful? 3D movies is the answer. In cooperation with
GUN-LUX HGVT presents a housing for two Sony HC1 camcorder, which are controlled as
would it be one. Together with a software package from digi-dat
the two movies can be edited to be viewed as a 3D movie on a special TFT display with
polarized glasses. The software can be used to edit the movie for a presentation
on two beamers.
There is also some news for underwater photographers from HGVT. Most of us have asked
theirselfes why camcorder do have the electronic LANC controls, but no electronic controls
are available for the also digital cameras. Well, this might be changed this year.
We saw a prototype of a usb control for the Canon 350D. The prototype is still in development
and testing phase, but should be available sometime this year. It should be supporting
all major digital SLR camera. So we hope to see that new gadget in the housings.
