２０２０年、オペラ公演のライブ映像配信を主導する為に私は台湾に入った。しかし新型コロナウイルス感染症の予期せぬ急速な世界的拡大のため、突如台湾国内の特定の建物への入館も外国人には禁じられ、不幸な事に私が目的とするオペラハウスもそれに含まれていた。もはや顔を合わせてライブ配信の指導ができなくなった私は、ホテルの一室で配信に用いる機器の設定や試験を綿密に済ませ、その機器をオペラ公演現場のカメラチームに手渡す他に取る手段はなかった。カメラチームは、その機器を簡単に数本のケーブル接続を行い、配信開始のボタンを押すというシンプルな手順で見事に彼らにとって初めてのライブ映像配信を成し遂げてくれた。これは弊社 “
SIMPLE LaaS” (Livestream-as-a-Service)が生れた瞬間でもあった。
以下に示す簡単な４ステップで特別な技術者の助けを借りることなく、劇場の現場の方々のみで高品質のライブ配信が可能に成る、というサービスである。

We need to cut down our script - it's just too long. So it's time for a red pen and some ruthless cutting.
Over the next few weeks we'll be sharing progress on our project to compare the RED KOMODO, RED DSMC2 MONSTRO 8K, and RED RANGER GEMINI 5K to, well, each other. And we'll be sharing insights into the post production process with both RED and LaCie - demystifying how it all really works. Spoiler alert: post production with RED is a lot easier that you might think.

Our film experiment needs some ground rules so that we can fairly compare our three cameras: the RED KOMODO 6K, RED DSMC2 MONSTRO 8K, and RED RANGER GEMINI 5K. Let's set them in place. And stick to them!

In Q1 2021, factors such as increasing demand for consumer electronics contributed to causing a global shortage in the supply of components. This is part of a megatrend seeing COVID-19 producing distortions in the dynamics of supply and demand in different markets, which, according to analysts, may ultimately lead to inflationary pressures. In the case of consumer electronics, the move to remote working and the concurrent disruptions in global supply chains caused by COVID-19 may have produced an imbalance between demand and supply. Other areas such as labor markets are experiencing a similar trend - i.e., demand outstripping supply - due to factors such as unprecedented fiscal spending by governments. IABM conducted a poll on component shortages in April 2021 to measure the impact of this megatrend on the media technology industry. The poll's findings show that this is a serious issue for most media technology suppliers, and it is a global problem. Anecdotal research carried out by IABM highlighted that this is not a temporary situation but rather a structural shock that may have prolonged effects. PC manufacturers such as Dell, HP, and Lenovo highlighted this situation in their recent investor calls, pointing to record demand for consumer electronics as the main driver for this and warning about price increases as well as shipping delays due to component shortages.

Foam CNC machining is a type of cutting technology that can be used to cut foam to meet exact specifications, making it ideal for cutting custom foam inserts. The foam inserts used in protective packaging are essential to ensure the safety of its contents. To create the empty spaces for the product to lay in, precise machinery cuts away the excess material from a solid block of foam, leaving behind negative spaces.
Different foam types will serve the exact needs of supporting different products, but precise cutting is always necessary for a product that is properly protected and displayed in a professional manner.

At CP Cases we supply specialist protective gear across a huge range of industries, and the one thing that they all have in common is that they use highly specialised, sensitive and fragile equipment. From the medical and defence sectors to the broadcasting industry, only the most precisely designed and robustly constructed protection can ensure the consistent high performance of equipment in all settings.
However, the valuable and fragile nature of this equipment means that moving it around the world becomes a major logistical challenge. Here we explain exactly what you need to know and consider when shipping high-value equipment across the globe.
