Près de 200 wh d'énergie et 120 w nominal sous 12 volt , rechargeable par son panneau solaire flexible incorporé.

Ce kit de production d’électricité, avec sa batterie et ses différents connecteurs, est incorporé dans un tube compact facilement transportable de 12 kg.

À l’intérieur sont logés un panneau solaire flexible déroulable et de légers arceaux qui permettent le maintien du panneau de la manière la plus appropriée (posé sur un sol, adossé à une paroi, suspendu, fixé sur le toit d’un véhicule, etc.)

Installée en quelques secondes, cette source d’énergie complètement autonome est capable d’éclairer toute une habitation, de faire fonctionner une pompe à eau (20-30 l/min) ou de charger simultanément un ordinateur, un téléphone cellulaire, un GPS ou tout autre appareil élec-trique/électronique comme un réfrigérateur par exemple.
Ses caractéristiques lui confèrent une multitude d’applications dans le domaine de l’énergie, la sécurité et la survie (camping, caravaning, dispensaires, chalets, cabanons, jardins, terrasses, expéditions, tentes d’exposition, unité de secours, etc.).

A range of clever hardware devices from Sonnett Technologies Inc. From the large 'XServed' Mac Mini to the ExpressCard reader, these boxes expand your Mac using Thunderbolt.

The first product from Sonnett that caught our eye was the $1,295 xMac™ mini Server. This is for the hardware expansion kit, you have to supply the Mac Mini yourself. Before you laugh, checkout what Thunderbolt has enabled the xMac to do, this box was stopping people on the show floor.

"1U rackmount PCIe 2.0 expansion system with two Thunderbolt™ Ports mounts a Mac® mini inside a specially designed enclosure that also contains two x16 (x4 mode) PCIe 2.0 slots, a 150W power supply, and an installed Gigabit Ethernet card. This system enables users to plug in two PCIe 2.0 adapter cards (one half-length and one full-length) to slots connected to the Mac mini via locking Thunderbolt cables while allowing the connection of additional Thunderbolt peripherals to the daisy-chain Thunderbolt port."

Our favourite feature was the mechanical arm on the right hand site of the unit which transferred the on/off button movement to the back of the Mac Mini. Possible uses in the video world range from servers to metadata controllers for SANS. Next up are the two Echo™ Express PCIe 2.0 Thunderbolt Expansion Chassis.

The $799 Echo can take two full length PCIe cards and the $599 Echo Express takes one half sized card. The units aren't small though as you can see from the scale of the standard issue FCP.co pen.

"The Echo™ Express PCIe 2.0 Expansion Chassis with Thunderbolt™ Ports enables users to plug in high-performance PCI Express® 2.0 adapter cards to any computer with a Thunderbolt port. Professional video capture, digital audio, 8Gb Fibre Channel, 10Gb Ethernet, and RAID controller cards are examples of the PCIe adapters that may be used. Available in two sizes, the standard Echo Express PCIe 2.0 Expansion Chassis supports one half-length, single- or double-width, x16 (x4 mode) PCIe 2.0 card while the XL model supports two single-width, full-length cards, or one double-width, full-length card. Both have integrated universal power supplies, fans to cool the cards, and two Thunderbolt ports to support daisy-chaining up to six devices to the host computer."

These boxes would enable Thunderbolt equipped Macs like a MacBook Pro or iMac to use PCIe cards such as a Kona 3G, Blackmagic Decklink or even a transcoding card such as the Red Rocket. It would be interesting to find out if another GPU card could utilised with DaVinci Resolve.

Last up and probably of most interest to us editors is the $149 Echo™ ExpressCard®/34 Thunderbolt™ Adapter.

This is perfect for getting your XDCAM EX footage into an NLE quickly. There are two models available, the standard model will transfer data at 2.5 Gb/sec and the Pro version doubles that to 5 Gb/sec.

"The Sonnet Echo™ ExpressCard®/34 Thunderbolt™ Adapter adds an ExpressCard/34 slot to any computer to which it’s connected, extending Thunderbolt technology-equipped Macs’ capabilities like never before. The adapter enables users of the latest iMac®, Mac® mini, MacBook Air®, and MacBook® Pro models with Thunderbolt ports to seamlessly connect compatible ExpressCard/34 cards from Sonnet and other manufacturers. ExpressCard/34 adapters offer users additional connectivity and functionality beyond what is available through their computers’ stock configuration.

Canon has dropped its bomb — the EOS-1D C .  The world’s first 4K video shooting DSLR.  Equipped with a full-frame 24mm X 36mm CMOS sensor that offers an APS-H sized area for video capture, and recording 8-bit 4:2:2 Motion JPEG 4K video to CF cards at 24fps, this camera packs a punch.  Both in terms of its features — and the $15,000 price tag:
On the one hand, this is incredible news — who would have thought a year ago that we’d be discussing a DSLR camera with an ISO range up to 25,600 that could output 4K (4096 X 2160-pixel) video?  And to CF cards no less?  The camera can do a couple of other neat things, like record Full HD (1920 X 1080-pixel) at the full sensor width or cropped down to Super 35; and of course, it can shoot great stills just like its brother, the EOS-1D X.

On the other hand — this is a $15,000 camera.  For $15,000, we are throwing out the cost advantages of DSLRs vs dedicated video cameras, and are now speaking strictly in terms of what kind of video features it offers.  At $15,000 dollars you expect XLR inputs and more than an HDMI output, and frankly, with other cameras like the RED Scarlet and the FS700 right in that price range (with accessories), this camera is going to have to go through the paces to prove it’s a tool that high end video shooters want to invest in.
At the same time, it’s a DSLR.  It still offers the advantages of a small form factor, and a shooting flexibility that many other cameras don’t — and as many filmmakers have found out, that can be quite a liberating feature.
For those of us who were hoping for something as disruptive as the Canon 5DmkII, well, it’s looking like we’ll have to wait for the next round of innovation to provide us lower budget options.
For more details, check out the full press release here, and for images of the camera, just keep on scrolling.

Is this the 4K DSLR you were hoping for?  Will this cannibalize the C-300?  If you had $15k what camera would you buy and why?
