NAB PRODUCTS CANON SHOWING NEW ULTRA-HIGH RESOLUTION, FULL-FRAME DSLR CAMERAS MELVILLE, NY — At NAB, Canon USA, Inc. (www.usa.canon.com) is introducing the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R DSLR cameras featuring an ultra-high resolution 35mm DSLR format. The new EOS models incorporate a newly-designed Canon 50.6 megapixel full-frame CMOS image sensor and Dual DIGIC 6 Image Processors for high image quality and processing speed. Maximizing the potential of the new 50.6MP sensor, the low-pass filter effect in the EOS 5DS R model is cancelled. The cancellation of the low-pass filter helps deliver sharp images, squeezing the most out of every pixel. Both cameras also include a 61-Point High Density Reticular AF array, including up to 41 cross-type AF points and EOS iTR AF for high precision autofocus. The EOS Scene Detection system features a 150,000-pixel RGB+IR 252-zone metering sensor that provides enhanced precision and performance. In support of such a high-resolution imaging sensor, the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R cameras were designed to minimize camera shake and sig- nificantly improve stability via a reinforced chassis, baseplate and tripod lug to improve rigidity. A new Picture Style called "Fine Detail" has been added to enhance the sharpness of JPEGs and EOS Movies with three new settings: Strength, Fineness and Threshold. The cameras feature dual card slots for CF and SD memory cards, including Ultra High Speed (UHS-1) SD cards. Both models are scheduled for availability through authorized Canon dealers in June 2015 for estimated retail prices of $3,699 and $3,899 (body only), respectively. SONNET XMAC PRO SERVER AND XMAC MINI IRVINE, CA — At NAB, Sonnet (www.sonnettech.com) will feature a host of Thunderbolt 2-to-PCIe card expansion systems, pro media readers, RAID storage sys- tems, and storage, network, and other interface cards for pro users, including the Avid-qualified xMac Pro Server, its rackmount solution with built-in Thunderbolt 2-to-PCI Express (PCIe) expansion for the new Mac Pro. The xMac Pro Server securely mounts the computer horizontally inside a specially-de- signed, 4U modular enclosure, connects three PCIe 2.0 slots via Thunderbolt 2 technology, and provides space to install additional equipment in two 5.25-inch mobile rack bays. Through the installation of optional Mobile Rack Device Mounting Kits, users can connect hard drives, SSDs and other devic- es to the Mac Pro. The company is also featuring its xMac mini Server which mounts a Mac mini inside a specially-de- signed, 1U rackmount enclosure and connects two PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0 slots via Thunderbolt 2 technology, enabling users to har- ness the power of PCIe cards. The latest generation xMac mini Server adds a Thunderbolt 2 interface to support maximum performance with the Mac mini with Thunder- bolt 2 technology.
