Flight Case components: what makes a good flight case?
Across a huge range of industries from live music and broadcasting to sports, there is nothing better than a heavy-duty, high-quality flight case to offer peace of mind when transporting your valuable gear across the world. At CP Cases we made our name with flight cases, and we have been designing them since 1971 when two semi-pro musicians got together to create a long-lasting rugged case they could rely on again and again.
世界に向けたライブ映像配信の民主化 – 舞台芸術業界における一例 –
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。

Kill Your Darlings: Being RUTHLESS about your film script and the integrity of your project
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.

Media Tech Intelligence Briefing: Global Chip Shortage
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.
