Samy's Camera (Cont'd. from p. 1) needed. Recently, Vision Research has announced the release of three new inno- vations: the VEO 640S with 10 Gb Ethernet option, the Flex 4K-GS and the CineMag IV PRO. The release of the Phantom VEO 640S camera, with optional 10Gb Ethernet downloading, was a high-speed, high-resolution answer to the need for a camera that can handle the intense pro- duction schedule of the entertainment industry. The VEO 640S is a sturdy cam- Phantom Camera (Cont'd. from p. 1) era with ruggedized connectors and a body style designed to easily mount onto lightweight devices and robotic arm rigs. The 10Gb Ethernet feature means that if the entire 72 GB of RAM is used to record a scene it can take as little as two minutes to move the footage from camera to computer, as opposed to the standard Ethernet or CFast 2.0 download time which take much longer. This is extreme- ly important in a production environ- ment, where tight schedules or long delays can negatively affect the outcome of the team's efforts. The Flex 4K-GS (Global Shutter) release was an important update to its best cinematic camera (the classic Flex 4K) because it increased the usability factor of the camera. The traditional rolling shutter on the Flex 4K will typi- cally achieve higher dynamic range and lower noise, but because of the way the electronic shutter integrates there can be some motion artifacts if an event is spin- ning quickly, or strobes are used in the scene. The global shutter system removes those types of issues and makes the Flex 4K more versatile in the field. The Flex4K-GS has the unique ability to switch between global and rolling shutter modes to take advantage of both scenar- ios as needed. Another recent innovation for the entertainment and broadcast industries is CineMag IV PRO for the Flex 4K. Four times faster than the classic CineMag IV when recording ProRes files and capable of faster direct-round frame rates and save times, the PRO increases the sim- plicity of the workflow straight out of the camera. Sometimes raw files are not required and the footage gets converted to a high quality compressed format any- way. Selecting ProRes 422 HQ in-camera saves valuable time and money associat- ed with that conversion process, and allows for more footage on each CineMag. Stop by the Phantom booth #C8739 in Central Hall to see the Phantom VEO, Flex 4K-GS and CineMag IV Pro in action. Associates are available for dis- cussion and demos during the entire NAB conference.

ARM & US TRUSTEDCARE INC PARTNER TO INTEGRATE WEARABLE & MEDICAL DEVICES FOR ACCOUNTABLE CARE US TrustedCare Inc., an Austin-based digital health company, and ARM, the world's leading semiconductor IP com- pany, are collaborating to enable new medical devices for the emerging accountable healthcare sector. The goal is to develop medical devices for use in the care of patients with chronic conditions in a way that allows a wide variety of providers to access information in a secure, authenticated and auditable man- ner. Allowing patients to recover at home and transition to a monitored wellness lifestyle should be the norm of future healthcare. ARM and TrustedCare's collabora- tion will create firmware, software technologies and APIs based on exist- ing and emerging standards for bridging health care and wellness. These tech- nologies will offer the industry telecare standards to enable healthcare and well- ness device manufacturers to seamless- ly integrate with a wide variety of healthcare management systems, signif- icantly reducing current complex inte- gration issues. TrustedCare and ARM jointly sub- mitted a proposal to the "Move Health Data Forward Challenge," sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Humans Services' (HHS) Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) and were selected as a winner of Phase 1. (www.hhs.gov/about/news/2016/11/02/h hs-announces-phase-1-winners-move- health-data-forward- challenge.html) "ARM is the most widely deployed processor technology in smartphones and wearables, devices we expect to be the main platform for securely gathering med- ical data and acquiring a patient's biomet- ric identity and consent,""said Shiv Ramamurthi, Healthcare Technology Director, ARM. "TrustedCare is a pioneer in remote monitoring and together we can help improve health care efficiency by enabling providers to gather trusted data, helping them make timely clinical deci- sions and deliver better care at lower cost." "TrustedCare is focused on allow- ing healthcare providers to work in a coordinated way to enable the sus- tained recovery of patients. We are excited to work with ARM to create a new level of capability that allows providers to deliver more positive out- comes for patients as well as benefit- ing from the shared savings that will be generated," said TrustedCare Chief Executive Officer Ramkrishna Prakash. "This collaboration will alleviate the burgeoning issue of technology integration facing the healthcare industry by standardizing communica- tion interfaces and thereby significant- ly reducing the cost to integrate med- ical and wearable devices while at the same time bringing a new level of security and accountability in care delivery," said Betty Otter Nickerson, ex-Chief Executive Officer of Sage HealthCare.
