RX 9 Advanced, which is specifically designed or audio post, allows for full control over audio. The new version of Dialogue Isolate makes it easier to extract clean dialogue from its environment, without artifacts, while the new complex mode in Ambience Match seamlessly connects dialogue and ADR cuts with real background movement and textures — all with multichannel support up to Dolby Atmos 7.1.2. In both the Standard ($299) and Advanced ($799) versions, the new dynamic mode in De-hum allows users to instantly remove any amount of hum and inter- ference in one pass. Users can view up to 30 undo steps in the history list and use the new restore feature to roll back an audio selection to any previous step. Izotope also released Post Production Suite 6 ($999), featuring tools needed to fix noi y production audio, bring a story to life and send final deli era- bles at the right specific tions.

MOTION IMPOSSIBLE INTRODUCES MAGNETIC STRIP GUIDING SYSTEM BRISTOL, UK — Motion Impossible (http://motion-impossible.com), the maker of modular remote dolly systems and camera stabilizers, has launched MagTrax, a new magnetic strip-guided system for tracked applications that offers more fl xibility and speed than laid or set-embedded dolly tracks. MagTrax enabling customers to follow a magnetic strip that's laid on a surface, underneath a carpet or embedded within a set. The strip can be arranged in various creative ways beyond what can be done with a regular track, including curves and the ability to move seamlessly from one strip to another. Motion Impossible's Agito dolly will autonomously follow each path while freeing up the control for camera movement. MagTrax provides a guaranteed repeatable path, speed control for both straight or curved tracks, and collision detection with automatic e-stop. In ad- dition, MagTrax has a configu able front and rear lighting system for pre-pro- duction and production-state awareness. Existing Agito Trax customers can upgrade to MagTrax using the Trax-MagTrax Upgrade pack. New systems can also be purchased pre-configu ed with MagTrax via the new bundles Agito MagTrax Essential and Agito MagTrax Elevated. DOOSAN DEBUTS MOTION-CONTROL RIG SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA — Doosan Robotics (www.doosanrobotics. com) has entered into the entertainment-in- dustry marketplace with the recent unveil- ing of its NINA (New Inspiration. New Angle) robotic camera system. Designed for content creators and mid-level enterprises, the system provides motion-control capabilities through proprietary, user-friend- ly software. The NINA system automatically senses an object and calculates distance, allowing smooth and consistent robotic-assisted filming. User can pre-test angles by running simulations before actual filming o con- serve time and save production costs. In addition, Doosan plans to create an open-platform for users to exchange presets of camera movements to diversify filming esults and allow beginners to incorporate difficult o-fil angles easily. NINA's hardware provides 360-degree rotation within an ergonomically, compact design. The robot's safety and emergency stop functions help detect collisions. Additional features include a joypad and hand teach- ing, motion import and export, pre-simulation, 720-degree rotation, and hanging/moving capacity at the lightest weight. Doosan released NINA in March, with a price starting of $110,000. Rental options are also available for approximately $6,000 per day.
