Tips For Using a Television Studio Cameras

Hello, Beraudiovisual's friends. Do you know, the difference between the filming of a television studio and a portable camcorder amateur is like going from a moped to a Harley Davidson. If you shoot in a studio, you're probably working on a talk show or news broadcast, so that this information applies primarily to people.

1. First understand what you do not have to. Exposure is controlled by the video engineer, who is also responsible for ensuring that the cameras are aligned so that the colors match. A good engineer must regularly match the color saturation and to ensure that the emphasis on performance is constant.

2. The cameraman in the studio, you are responsible for focusing, framing and composition. Some leaders are open to show them the proposed strike. Another rule with an iron fist, and want only what they expect. When working in a variety of animals, you know what they want.

3. Understanding third parts of the camera and what they do. You have a studio type viewfinder that displays an image in black and white. You will see the entire video image so that the design, the realization that, after
the release of most TVs will not see the edges you do, then add a margin around your ideal image. Always start with the configuration of your monitor bar. Unlike a camera in the new configuration, ENG, you have no chance to make a diopter adjustment so it is essential that if you need glasses you use them. Choose reading glasses, long distance impostors or even bifocals to ensure a clear direction.

4. Make sure the phone works both ways so you can listen to your manager and contact her. Since working in a direct cut, remember that you are hearing a lot more than you. I pulled many a show without a word to the control room. While the main off-line, had no time for anything but the most important observations of cameramen.

5. From the top you have a camera on a tripod, is to expand the handlebars like a motorcycle. On the left you will find your focus controller, manual tube connected to the cable is pushed in front of goal. When it puts the focus on change. On the right side is the zoom control, which is motorized. Tripod vary depending on configuration. Find out where the locks and drags you have. Cancel locks and make sure that the camera head is perfectly balanced from front to back. If you can not frame a shot and look to drift downwards or upwards. Set the drag so you can apply with equal force and pan and tilt.

6. As soon as you adjust the viewfinde and stand, ask the technician to take the camera away from the bars. Discover how much energy it takes a motorized zoom lens zoom control to achieve the desired speed. I do not know in which direction to push the zoom zoom in and where to go. Orientation, to learn that the direction of changing the focus from the knobs, or closer. You should know instinctively guided, so that you do not think when given the command. In practice, the wheels in motion PEDS truck or doll. Ped up and down to learn a lot about the power you need.

7. Understanding the controls. Others are implied. If they tell you to approach a person will automatically be inclined to give your site the subject's head. Do not forget to tilt down as you zoom. In a study environment that are generally designed to promote a subject, maybe two. The directors hope to keep these people adequately supervised after receiving your order. "To Peter" or "to stand" is a vertical movement of the camera pedestal. Below is the opposite. Dolly inside or outside refers to the camera roll toward or away from someone. Road transport is rolling the camera left or right. D'arc is to create a curve with his camera rolling. Zoom Zoom presses alone. A place is just the opposite. Pan is an axis from left to right in the camera head. Inclination is to turn your head up or down. Be sure to leave a gap of lead, so a person is slightly off center. If you talk about a topic more space on this side.
Advice

As mentioned above, you must have the focus back. Be sure to zoom in on your subject's eyes and then extend their framework to the end.

3. find a monitor with a VGA input. This can be a computer monitor or television. Should be on the side, at least 13 inches wide. Place this just below the camera monitor. If you use a small portable camera and a large monitor, you can insert the camera monitor.


4. we have a long VGA cable, which can stretch from your computer to the monitor. If your computer is in addition to a monitor, you will need about still-foot VGA cable. Connect one end to the VGA output on your computer and the other end into the monitor. You can use your portable computer how to start the reader program and act as the monitor. It will save you the trouble of setting up your monitor and using a cable. However, the portable computer screen have tended to be small.

Brief History Of Television (The Birth of Television / TV))

OLD TV
Beraudiovisual's friends, in this article I'll discuss a bit about the history of television (TV). You all must have a television at home. But do you know how the early history of television itself? 

BEGAN OF BIRTHS
In 1873 a telegraph operator from Valentia, Ireland, named Joseph May found that "the light affects the electrical resistance of selenium." He realized it could be used to convert light into electrical current by using a photocell silenium (selenium photocell). Joseph May along Willoughby Smith (technician from the "Telegraph Construction Maintenance Company") do some further experiments reported in the "Journal of the Society of Telegraph Engineers". This is the beginning of the image recording technology. 

After some time, then created a small metal plate that can rotate with holes in it, by a student named Paul Julius Gottlieb Nipkow (1860-1940) or better known as Paul Nipkow in Berlin, Germany, in 1884 and referred to as the forerunner to the birth of television. Around 1920 John Logie Baird (1888-1946) and Charles Francis Jenkins (1867-1934) used the work of Paul Nipkow disc to create a system of image capture, transmission, and reception. They make the entire television system is based on the mechanical motion systems, both in broadcasting and reception. At that time undiscovered electrical components vacuum tube (Cathode Ray Tube) 

In those days, the development of electronic television experience obstacles in its development. This is because television is more expensive mechanical and resilient. Other obstacles are very difficult to obtain financial support for research on electronic TV when the TV mechanic considered able to work very well at that time. No registration until Vladimir Zworykin (1889-1982) and Philo T. Farnsworth (1906-1971) managed by the electronic TV. With low cost and the results went well, then people at the time it gradually began to leave the TV mechanics and replace them with electronic TV. 

Vladimir Zworykin, who was one of several experts in those days, had help from David Sarnoff (1891-1971), Senior Vice President of RCA (Radio Corporation of America). Sarnoff has been a lot of very concerned about the development of mechanical television, and electronic TV would have predicted the future a better commercial. Moreover, Philo Farnsworth also managed to get sponsors to support the idea and took to compete with Vladimir. 

Television History's Video
TV ELECTRONIC
Both Farnsworth and Zworykin, working separately, and both succeeded in making progress for a TV commercial with a very affordable cost. In 1935, they began to broadcast using a fully electronic system. Their main competitors are the Baird Television, which was first broadcast since 1928, using entirely mechanical system. At that very few people have televisions, and they have generally modest quality. In those days the TV screen size is only about three to eight inches just so mechanical and electronic competition is not so obvious, but the competition was there. 

RCA TV, TT5 Type 1939, RCA and Zworykin ready for a regular TV program, and they demonstrate on a large scale at the World Fair in New York. Enthusiastic people who are so greatly to this electronic system, causing "the National Television Standards Committee" [NTSC], 1941, decided it was time to standardize the transmission of television broadcast system in America. Five months later, all American television stations, amounting to 22 item, already convert the system into the new electronic standard. 

In the first years, while world economic recession, the price of a television set is very expensive. When prices began to fall, the American second world war. After the war, television included in the golden era. Unfortunately in those days all people can only see it in black and white format. 

COLOR TV
Vintage RCA 621TS Television 1946 CRT
CBS actually had more first build color system a few years before his rival RCA. But their systems are not compatible with most black and white TV in the entire country. CBS has spent a lot of cost for the color they should be aware of the fact that their job ends in vain. Learning from the experience of CBS, RCA began to build a color system according to its own format. They quickly create a color system that is able to be accepted in black and white or color systems. After the RCA demonstrated the ability of their systems, the NTSC format and then used as a reference standard for commercial broadcasting in 1953. 

As time goes by and the development of technology, television from time to time start a lot of improvements and additions in terms of technology. For television the next time slowly began to leave the analog technology and stepped into an era that is called digital television with the ability and better quality than the previous generation of technology commonly known as IPTV [Internet Protocol Television]. 

That is a brief history of television. Hopefully Beraudiovisual's friends got a lot of knowledge after reading it.

DSLR cameras are digital single lens reflex, meaning is a camera with a digital system (using the processor, chip, memory, and technological sophistication in capturing the image) that uses one lens mounted on the camera body. Reflex mirror inside the camera will go up when you press the shutter button and when the image sensors inside cameras will record an image. It may also said to the camera with the operating system such as komputer. There are parts of DSLR cameras.
1. Eyepiece (base currency) = holder for our eyes while looking into the viewfinder.
2. Viewfinder (viewfinder) = viewfinder using the method pentaprisma (pentagon shape) which is placed above the optical path through the lens to the image sensor plate. incoming light then reflected upward by a mirror (mirror reflection) and the pentaprisma. pentaprisma then reflects light several times through the viewfinder (viewfinder). When the shutter button is released, the glass opens the way for the light so that light can directly on the image sensor.
3. Image sensor (sensor image capture) = a sensor that is used to process and capture an image contained in a camera. size there are a variety of sensors, ie APS-C sized 15x23mm, 19x29mm APS-H size, and FULL-FRAME 24x36mm (with large size movie).
4. Flash (light like blits) = flash is usually used to help us in taking photographs in the dark.
5. Hotshoe (flash external holder) = a holder for an external flash that is usually located in the middle of the camera body. 6. Lens (lens) = a lens mount that is embedded in the camera body (lens body can be removed and replaced dr) that serves to focus the light to be able to captured by the image sensor. on the outside of the lens there is usually a three-ring, which ring the focal length (for variable type lenses), aperture ring and focus ring. there are 5 characters that lens, wide (wide), macros (enlarge), telephoto (zoom), tilt & shift and fish eye. and there are 2 types of lens fix (can not be changed, such as 50mm) and zoom (there rangenya like, 17-85mm). lenses also have a feature is (image stabilizer) to dampen vibration of the hand and USM (ultrasonic motor) to accelerate the search and silent focusing. * Code type is usm canon DLSR cameras. these features in any other DSLR camera lenses also exist, but the code name of the other but with the same function.
7. Lenshood = an addition on the lens to reduce excess light, the impact of flares and a protective front surface of the lens, and also as an addition to the display lens to look more frightening. * Remember: the use of hood that does not correspond to the series lenses will cause vignetting (vignetting = black spots on the sides of the tip of the image).
8. LCD monitor (LCD display) = to view images and monitor the results of modes that we use to take pictures.
9. Focal point = if you look into the viewfinder, then you'll see a tiny dots scattered (the number of points depending on the type and model of camera) where the focal point for helping you find focus images would be taken.
The sections above are the standard DSLR camera. Of course, each part can be utilized, so let's take the picture.
