Aurora by SiOnyx is the world’s first day/night camera with true night vision, allowing users to view, record and review life’s adventures all day and night in crisp, clear color. Other high-resolution cameras are either constructed with small pixels and sensors insufficient for good night vision, or with larger sensors and pixels that reduce portability and are cost prohibitive. The SiOnyx Aurora, on the other hand, is the only waterproof, high-definition, color action-camera with true day and night imaging. Its versatility makes it ideal for use in hunting, boating, nature watching, first responder scenarios, and other night-vision activities—even ghost hunting. With the iOS- and Android-compatible Aurora app, users can take compass bearings, navigate waypoints, locate friends or teammates, and even share their escapades over social media.

When SiOnyx decided to launch the revolutionary Aurora, we enlisted the aid of Kickstarter to propel our safety-, lifestyle-, and experience-enhancing camera into the mainstream. Pledges for the Aurora went far beyond our expectations. The initial $50k goal, for example, was surpassed in less than 3.5 hours! In fact, in less than 48 hours, 200% of our total goal was exceeded. In less than 72 hours, the Aurora became Kickstarter’s #2 ranked product under the Design and Tech/Camera category. In just one week since launch, we currently have a total of $186,347 that has been pledged by 404 backers (and growing) across the world—and we still have 27 days to go.

Don’t miss your chance to get into the action with Aurora by SiOnyx and earn rewards for your support. Pledge plateaus are still available and provide many perks. Both the Aurora Early Bird and Pioneer pledges offer a percentage off the MSRP, and include:

  • SiOnyx Aurora Waterproof Day/Night Camera
  • Removable and Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery
  • USB Cable
  • Lanyard
  • Microfiber Carrying Pouch

For those true adventurers and lovers of the paranormal, there is even an Aurora Ghost Hunter Adventure pledge available. In addition to the camera and accoutrements, this support level provides a round trip airline ticket from anywhere within the U.S. or Canada to Newport, RI, where Steve Gonsalves, co-star of the SyFy Channel’s hit series Ghost Hunters, will be on hand for a personal meet and greet session. Support at this pledge level also includes airport transfers, two nights lodging, and a ticket and opportunity to use your new SiOnyx Aurora camera on your own investigative adventure at Fort Adams, a historic coastal fortification that was garrisoned to defend our country’s borders during the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, the American Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World War I and World War II.

​Free your pioneering spirit. Release your inner explorer. Chart new paths day AND night with Aurora by SiOnyx.

Transcoding moves to the cloud. Intercom, tally and shading stay at the venue

Transcoding moves to the cloud. Intercom, tally and shading stay at the venue

Vendors draw the same line: transcoding and graphics move to the cloud, while intercom, tally and camera shading stay on site. Riedel says the connection back to on-site talent, cameras, tally and IFB can still undermine the production or the business case. Hybrid looks like where things settle.

  • 01Dillon’s analysis suggests hybrid cloud-plus-venue production is where things settle, making on-site hardware for latency-bound work a long-term facility plan item.
  • 02Interoperability standards such as SMPTE ST 2110 and NMOS handle the plumbing. The question to put to vendors now is how their systems provision, configure, tear down and monitor services alongside other vendors' gear.

Vindral shares an Emmy honour for frame-accurate browser monitoring

Vindral shares an Emmy honour for frame-accurate browser monitoring

Vindral shares an Emmy honour in a category described as web-based, frame-accurate, remote and distributed. Vindral shares the category with NBCUniversal, Disney, Amazon, CBS Sports, Grass Valley, Game Creek and SipRadius. The award recognises tools that keep production teams in separate locations frame-accurate in a browser, without specialised hardware.

  • 01The Emmy-recognised technical bar is that everyone on a distributed production sees the exact same frame at the exact same moment in an ordinary browser, with no specialised hardware.
  • 02Eight organizations share the award, and the release says the work being honored dates to the pandemic. The announcement doesn’t rank the honourees or include latency figures a buyer could benchmark.
