Vaddio Launches the World’s First High Definition USB PTZ Camera
The ClearVIEW HD-USB is the world’s first broadcast-quality HD PTZ camera with USB and Ethernet streaming built right into the camera. Now you can directly plug an HD PTZ camera directly into your PC – without the need for a separate capture device. Because the ClearVIEW HD-USB uses standard UVC drivers, no special USB drivers need to be installed. As a result it works seamlessly with any software application running on any OS that supports USB 2.0 devices.
“For the last two years we have been inundated with requests for a professional-quality high definition PTZ camera,” explains President of Vaddio, Rob Sheeley. “As more enterprise videoconferencing users adopt soft codecs such as Skype and Microsoft Lync, they are demanding better performance than what a webcam can deliver. With our new camera they can finally achieve broadcast-quality video from a USB camera.”
The ClearVIEW HD-USB also supports H.264 video streaming. With a built in Ethernet network interface you can now do both IP control and IP Streaming directly from the camera. It supports either RTSP or HLS streaming protocols.
The camera features a 19x optical zoom lens with a 58.1-degree wide angle of view – wide enough to view everyone at a standard conference table, as well as capture an individual from a long distance at 3.2 degrees in a larger room. The zoom range provides great flexibility for a wide variety of applications.
Add the optional USB Quick Connect cable system and extend the USB, power and control up to 300 feet. This way you can mount the camera anywhere and not worry about the cabling distance from the computer.

EDIUS OPTIMISED FOR 3D
A special version of EDIUS that adds extensive 3D editing capabilities has been made available for download for a limited period.
The EDIUS 3D 'Preview Version' incorporates native 3D support for video clips captured with the most popular 3D cameras, easy clip pairing for synching left eye/right eye clips; conversion of single stream 3D (like side-by-side) to dual stream 3D (left eye and right eye); and a array of tools on the editing timeline that make 3D adjustments easy.
3D evangelist and veteran EDIUS user Al Caudullo has been testing the software extensively, taking it to the rugged highlands of western Mongolia to cover the annual Eagle Festival. Al also presented a session on 3D editing at the recent Editors Retreat conference in Austin, TX.
"The Editors Retreat is a gathering of North America's post production elite. It was an amazing experience to be with so many seasoned pros." said Al. "Everyone, including the Keynote Speaker Jay Rabinowitz, who participated in the EDIUS 3D presentation agreed that 3D IS coming and all expected to be asked to edit 3D in the near future. They had great things to say about the smooth workflow and extensive feature set of EDIUS 3D."
The EDIUS 3D Preview Version will be updated regularly—at least monthly—through the end of March 2012.
