 It’s strange how Apple appears to be pulling back from the professional software space but continues to push the professional hardware space to its’ limits. That’s what they’ve been doing with Thunderbolt. If you haven’t already heard, Thunderbolt technology is a new, high-speed, dual-protocol I/O technology designed for performance, simplicity, and flexibility. It was developed by Intel but brought to market with a collaboration from Apple. You can see more information on the Intel Thunderb

 It's been five months since Thunderbolt technology arrived on the scene with the latest MacBook Pro refresh.

While some devices and accessories may not be available just yet, many should be arriving shortly. We highlight a handful that could he

 It would be redundant of me to, once again, emphasize just how important the quality of the audio is both when planning preproduction, when shooting, and in post production.
For those many who have begun much of their filming using the DSLR's which, aside from being great for the photo enthusiast, can produce some beautiful video footage, but to the user's dismay, the audio quality for any of the DSLRs that I have heard is quite dreadful. Fortunately there is software that can, with little

 AJA's latest acquisition solution is a winner.
AJA is now shipping the Ki Pro Mini, a major step forward in the company’s line of direct-from-camera acquisition products. First came the I/O HD, a product I reviewed at its introduction some four years ago. At that point, its ability to transcode any input into ProRes was revolutionary but I remarked what was needed was some way to make it portable and record on the fly. Well, two years later came the KiPro, a product which remains a hot item.

 AJA started shipping its first ProRes-based video recorder, the Ki Pro, in the fall of 2009. Recording via HD-SDI in ProRes was impressive, but the Ki Pro was too big and heavy to be useful for much in-the-field work. Now AJA has shrunk the Ki Pro down to a fraction of the original’s size, added some features, taken a few away, and dropped the price in half. Viola, you have the new Ki Pro Mini.
