You read it right and it's official, just got the local copy of "SCAN", the local Sony newsletter. Now imagine my surprise when I learnt from it that they recommend Pinnacle Liquid Edition and they'll be selling it in all their retail outlets. Could that be why there's been a recent update to this forum, to make way for a Pinnacle forum here?
Ah, but it gets even better. Remember Sony was the company that told us they'd rather see us burn in hell before they let us shoot progressive, well unless you could afford a CineAlta camera that is. Well there's been a rather sudden turn around there too, their latest DB cameras have been upgraded to shoot, ah well 24PsF and 25PsF. That one caught my eye too, what the heck is PsF? Could it be Progressive SIngle Frame?
But wait there's more. Big news on the audio front. They've started to push the Sony Oxford Plugins, best noise reduction tools on the planet (and reading what they can do if it's only half true they're right) but do they work with Vegas, nah.
But there was some good news, Sony finally have a HDCAM deck that is affordable, still expensive but at a price that wouldn't make the bank manager choke.
Now OK, I know this isn't really Sony here but come on guys, just when does it makes sense for any company to be promoting their competitors product or have the tables changed now that Avid owns Pinnacle, is Vegas giving Avid too much of a run for their money and Avid gave Mr Sony a tap on the shoulder?
So lets have a little competition, lets see who can come up with the whackiest conspiracy theory to explain all this. I'll personally present the winner with a 100 gram jar of Vegemite at NAB.
Bob.
