Surely you remember that less than one month Vizio presented at CES in Las Vegas as its commitment to 21:9 format TVs . Surely with the intent to direct competition with Philips and attacking where it would hurt more to his rival in the price and announced even more models in this format.

So on the one hand we finally figure for which will be released the new Vizio XVT CinemaWide TrueLED 3D Smart TV. Under this normbre so long lies a team of 58 inches, with a native resolution of 2560 × 1080 and Edge LED backlight system (the most advanced chassis and provide superfine). The team as it could be otherwise compatible with 3D playback (120HZ) and is equipped with all kinds of connections: HDMI from 5 to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth Serial. Obviously with such an arsenal of features, will suppose that the computer will not be exactly cheap and you are right. It goes on sale for a cool $ 3,500.

But this is not everything, because as we mentioned, also expanded its catalog of equipment in 21:9 format, with the introduction of two new models will make their appearance before the end of the year. And it seems that the manufacturer wants to have a number of models in this format, so you also plan to market both a smaller model (50 inches, the 50XVT3D500CM) and larger (as much as 71 inches, the new 71XVT3D710CM). All with Internet access, remote control via Bluetooth QWERTY and Wi-Fi as standard.

In short, stiff competition for Philips, that as soon not put this, see buttoned his reign in the 21:9 format.

We have nothing but good news from a house of well-deserved reputation as Optoma . This is the last projector in the range "input" with enviable characteristics, enables you to watch in glorious Full HD displays your favorite movies reaching up to 4 feet wide with no major problems or loss of quality. We refer to the new Optoma HD 23 .

If you want to start in this projection (I assure you will not regret it) for only € 899 you get a team that will keep you happy start for some time. And is that with this HD23 , we are talking about a projector based on DLP technology and equipped as a DarkChip3 brain. The team shines with an incredible 2,500 lumens and 5000:1 contrast as figure (both figures, which are not exactly small feat). All this without forgetting its HDMI Soble and most importantly, compatibility with projection mode to 24p.

This needs to be complemented with their meager 2.9 kilos, its only 29 dB of noise and BrilliantColor projection technology, which guarantees a vivid and realistic colors. If you are thinking about buying or renewing projector, I thought I did: Optoma HD23, a safe bet with excellent performance.

Newsmaker, big news: After many months (more years) waiting for this news, we can finally say out loud, that Avid editing program linial par excellence, just reaches the iPad and does so in its version for tablets: Avid Studio . With this adaptation for the iPhone, you can edit on the move with the expertise and the strength of a private house is renowned as Avid.

IMovie is shaking, since it assumes that the new Avid Studio will set the bar very high in terms of non-linear editing programs for tablets. The interesting thing is that for less than $ 5, you get a editing program capable of editing both from the internal memory of the iPad, and through external sources (adapter cards). You can combine your gross with 3D effects, transitions, titling and various sound effects. If that fura little support we are also making storyboards, precision cutting tools, various methods of cast modes and Picture-in-Picture, titling and credit creation.

Avid has not forgotten the sound section, with the inclusion of audio clips and import of basic editing. The good thing is that the program is fully integrated with social networks, so once the editing, you can dump it directly on sites like Youtube, Facebook or even send the clip via email. But if you prefer, you can always send your PC for processing and final correction. In short, a great application that is sure to please all those who engage in the world of nonlinear editing. We leave you with a few screenshots and a video of the program in operation:

For some time we did not have around here one of these amazing writers dedicated to the world of professional field of image and sound. This time is the house Blackmagic Design which strikes again with his latest recording uncompressed solid state, the Shuttle HyperDeck 2 . In fact, this is uncompressed recorder's smallest market, which certainly is a point to be considered by many users broadcast sector.

You could say that this new team is the natural successor to the already entered HyperDeck Shuttle gray, with the addition that we now have real-time recording and without compression. Also in this new HyperDeck Shuttle 2 we DNxHD 220x recording mode, and can reach up to 220Mbit bitrates / s with 10-bit depth. But the big advantage is that you can connect directly to the SDI / HDMI from your camcorder and record the direct signal without being affected by the various preliminary steps that degrade compression in the event that will write directly on the camcorder.

The team is made of aircraft grade aluminum, so its strength is beyond question. As recording media uses SSD magazines, small, comfortable and reliable 2.5 ", so you pull off at a stroke the possibility of physical error from falls, bumps or the like. And you can edit directly from the magazine SSD, just plug it into your computer through an external eSATA dock. Equipped with a keyboard very similar to any current VTR will not have lost to get to work with the system from the start.

To emphasize the large number of resolutions supported, ranging from 720p50 up to 1080p30, 720p50 through, 1080PsF23.98, 1080PsF24, 1080PsF25, or 1080PsF30 1080PsF29.97. All with 4:2:2 sampling and 10 bit color. Given that we are talking about a professional team and it only costs $ 345 (about 260 € to change), I was almost to me ya, even for buying a home.
