AJA Updates Firmware on the CION While Also Debuting USB Converter Boxes
AJA updates the CION's highlight handling while also showing off new U-Tap streaming tools.
AJA's 4K RAW-capable cinema camera, the CION, recently received new gamma modes via a firmware update meant to increase shadow and highlight handling while also renaming the picture profiles. Included gammas are now Standard, Cine, and None, which disables any gamma adjustment and allows it to be set more effectively in post. A CF adapter for their media slot also now allows users to use CF cards instead of AJA's proprietary Pak SSDs.
For videographers and filmmakers requiring livestreaming, their U-Tap SDI and HDMI converter boxes will now allow one to stream directly into their computers for $345.
