4K & Beyond "Sponsored Feature & Marketing Package"
Camera Manufacturers, Postproduction facilities, Providers of digital workflow solutions & collaboration tools and workflow consultants are invited to sponsor this special feature. Having received great feedback on our first two Entertainment Technology sponsored features on October 17, 2014 and January 30, 2015, we're excited to bring the next installment to our readers.
UltraHD 4K is here. In 2014, feature films have been acquired with 4K cameras, and the test UHD broadcasts have begun. At NAB, manufacturers are showing not just a multitude of 4K cameras, but infrastructure and systems for complete UHD production and post. With Japan resolutely heading towards 8K broadcast, we know that the evolution of imagery won’t stop at 4K. We’re already hearing that drumbeat with 6K cameras, HDR (High Dynamic Range) and wider color gamut. SHOOT takes a deep dive – beyond the hype – to find out what’s real and what’s really happening in 4K and beyond.
Included with sponsorship is participation in the feature and a high-profile marketing package consisting of digital and print advertising and promotion that complements and brings tremendous added exposure to both the article and the sponsoring companies. We're thrilled to be working with freelance entertainment technology writer Debra Kaufman again for this feature and look forward to working with another great group of companies for the March feature.
Sponsors of the October feature were Arc 9, ARRI Rental, Company 3, Shotgun and Simian.
Sponsors of the January feature were EC3, FotoKem, MTI Film and Prime Focus Technologies.
