4K Focus Forum: JVC’s 4K Technology Preview!
On both Friday, June 17 & Saturday, June 18, JVC is doing something very special at Profusion 2011. They will be on hand to preview their new, affordable 4K technology with a small, hand-held camcorder that records 3840 x 2160 – that’s 4 times the resolution of full HD
4K represents an exciting new direction in video and digital cinematography. With 4 times the resolution of full HD, shooting and editing in 4K delivers breathtaking images suitable for the largest cinema screens and opens up many new creative possibilities – even when the final output is ordinary HD.
We hope that you can join in on one of these private sessions to learn more about this new technology. We expect the sessions to be interactive, as the folks at JVC want to hear from you what features you’d like to see on a 4K camera. Sessions will be held Friday and again on Saturday.
Seating is limited, so sign up TODAY to secure your spot! Don’t miss out on this FREE event!
