Built for HDMI-based cameras, Ninja TX Go combines a brighter screen, advanced monitoring tools, professional codecs, camera control and cloud connectivity, all in a single, compact device. Ninja TX Go features a five-inch, 1,500-nit HDR touchscreen, surpassing the monitoring of most cameras' built-in displays. Features such as EL Zone, waveform, vectorscope and focus peaking give content creators control over framing, exposure and color accuracy on-set. The unit records directly to CFexpress Type B or external USB-C SSD storage, and supports Apple ProRes, ProRes raw, Avid DNx and H.265/H.264 formats. With raw-capable HDMI inputs, it can record up to 6Kp30 raw, delivering high image quality from today's leading mirrorless and DSLR cameras. What sets Ninja TX Go — and Ninja TX — apart from previous Ninja models is its integrated camera control, a free feature that allows direct adjustment of exposure settings, such as aperture, shutter speed and ISO on supported cameras from Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Panasonic, Sony and Z Cam. Built- in wi-fi allows for seamless camera-to-cloud operation, including 20GBs of free Atomosphere cloud storage, enabling direct upload to Atomosphere, Frame.io, Dropbox and other services, or live stream- ing via NDI 6/HX3. For those who need even more advanced options, Ninja TX adds SDI input/output, AirGlu wireless timecode and expanded 8Kp30 raw recording capabilities. Pricing for the Ninja TX Go is $799. BEATOVEN.AI EXPANDS MAESTRO TO GENERATIVE SOUND EFFECTS SAN FRANCISCO — Beatoven.ai offers a comprehensive suite of AI tools that are designed for music creation, search and intelligence across the entire music ecosystem, from rights holders, labels & brands, to creator tools. The company's newly-released expansion for its Maestro foundation model lets users control and tweak their outputs to unlock new sounds or specific ideas. Users can control a sound's duration, up :35, and can specify how wildly outputs deviate from a text prompt, harnessing AI "hallucinations" to gen- erate something new. Users can also state what they don't want, and add context to achieve more nuanced results, as well as adjust the steps to yield higher output quality. Building on its existing capacity to generate instrumentals, Maestro's latest movement into sound effects is fully licensed, and every output generates revenue for the rights holders of the model's training data. Maestro is trained on licensed data from Pro Sound Effects — a leading catalog of sound effects that includes elements created by the award-winning artists behind numerous blockbuster films. This licensing ensures rights holders benefit directly from every output. With both instrumental and sound effect generating ca- pabilities, Beatoven.ai is launching its maestro API on AI infrastruc- ture company Fal.ai's marketplace, which offers audio, video and image AI models to enterprises. NIKON RELEASE FIRST CAMERA IN ZR CINEMA LINE MELVILLE, NY — Nikon's (www.nikonusa. com) ZR is the company's first cinema camera made specifically for filmmakers. The ZR is an ultra-lightweight, full-frame camera that represents the first in the Z Cinema series — a product group that employs the best technologies and philosophies of Nikon and Red. Designed for emerging cinematographers and high-end content producers, the Nikon ZR can record up to 6K/60p (59.94p) and incorporates the new R3D NE1 raw video file format with Red color science based on the company's popular R3D raw codec, with 15-plus stops of dy- namic range. This new codec uses color science and exposure standards of Red cameras to ensure accurate color matching, even for multi-cam shoots. The four-inch DCI-P3 LCD is bright enough to be used in direct sunlight, eliminating the need for an external monitor. It also has class-leading audio capabilities, such as 32-bit float audio from built-in and external micro- phones, plus OZO3 directional audio. The ZR also has 7.5 stops of built-in image stabilization. The wide Nikon Z mount enables a large variety of lenses to be adapted using third-party lens adaptors. The Nikon ZR cinema camera is now available for a suggested retail price of $2,199.95 (body only).
