			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://dailyconnect.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/4k-camcorder.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-11712" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 3px;" title="4k-camcorder" src="http://dailyconnect.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/4k-camcorder.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="251" /></a>JVC Professional Products Company, a division of JVC Americas Corp., today announced the GY-HMQ10, the world&#8217;s first handheld 4K camcorder, which captures, records, and plays video images at four times the resolution of high definition television. Powered by JVC&#8217;s Falconbrid large-scale integration (LSI) chip for high-speed signal processing and a 1/2-inch CMOS imager with 8.3 million active pixels, it delivers real-time 3840&#215;2160 footage at 24p, 50p, or 60p.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re witnessing the birth of what is destined to become a broad market for full 4K end-to-end production,&#8221; said Edgar Shane, general manager of engineering. &#8220;The GY-HMQ10 is a breakthrough product that opens up 4K imaging to users who previously wouldn&#8217;t have considered it.&#8221;</p>
<p>High resolution 4K still picture imaging has been around for several years in DSLR cameras. Motion video capture with these cameras has always been done at a lower video resolution because of lack of processing power. Likewise, high end digital motion picture cameras may capture 4K images, but often provide a raw data output to an external storage array for later processing—again due to lack of processing power in the camera. There just hasn&#8217;t been the ability to capture, process, display and record full 4K images in real time until now.</p>
<p>JVC&#8217;s exclusive Falconbrid LSI processing takes raw image data from the camera&#8217;s CMOS device and dematrixes (deBayers) it in real time. Unlike many high end 4K cameras, the GY-HMQ10 is able to output 4K images to a monitor or projection system in real time with virtually no latency. This capability opens up applications in cinematography, medical microscopy, telepresence, specialized observation / surveillance, and live wide-view event coverage.</p>
<p>Using MPEG-4 technology and a variable bit rate H.264 codec operating at up to 144 Mbps, the GY-HMQ10 records up to two hours of 4K video to economical SDHC or SDXC memory cards.</p>
<p>In addition to 4K imaging, the GY-HMQ10 also captures and records astonishing 1080i or 1080/60p full HD, with extraordinary detail provided by its 8.3 megapixel imager and superior lens. HD is recorded on a single memory card in a format compatible with most editing systems. This combination of superb 4K and HD imaging was requested by attendees of JVC&#8217;s 4K forums, conducted throughout North America last year, and is unique in the camera industry.</p>
<p>Another feature requested by forum attendees was the ability to crop an HD image from a 4K frame. This can be accomplished in post production, or in real time during camera playback. The &#8220;trimming&#8221; feature makes HD cropping easy using the camera&#8217;s touch panel LCD monitor.</p>
<p>Similar in size to JVC&#8217;s popular GY-HM150 ProHD camcorder, the GY-HMQ10 includes a build-in F2.8 10x zoom lens with optical image stabilizer, as well as a color viewfinder and 3.5-inch touch LCD monitor with a new, intuitive user interface. The GY-HMQ10 is built in a familiar, comfortable and lightweight form factor for hours of field production with minimum fatigue.</p>
<p>The GY-HMQ10 is equipped with manual level controls for audio, with audio metering in the LCD and viewfinder displays. A microphone holder and two balanced XLR connectors with phantom power are located on the handle. The camera is equipped with a built-in stereo mic for ambient sound pickup.</p>
<p>Other features include JVC&#8217;s patented Focus Assist, as well as manual and auto control of focus, iris, gain, shutter, gamma, color matrix, and white balance. Plus, the camera has the unusual capability of live 4K output via four HDMI terminals.</p>
<p>&#8220;Historically, JVC has been a leader in camcorder and display technology, and the GY-HMQ10 is our latest breakthrough,&#8221; added Shane. &#8220;It&#8217;s part of a larger move at JVC to bring 4K technology to a wide range of customers.&#8221; In September 2011, JVC introduced an affordable line of 4K projectors to the home theater market. The company&#8217;s high-end 4K projectors are widely used in commercial flight simulators and planetariums. &#8220;4K is the logical step beyond HD,&#8221; said Shane. &#8220;And JVC is uniquely positioned to lead the industry in this new direction.&#8221;</p>
<p>JVC&#8217;s innovative approach to professional 4K will be unveiled in a series of industry announcements beginning at CES and continuing throughout 2012.</p>
<p>At a retail selling price of $4,995, the GY-HMQ10 launches today, with market deliveries beginning in March, 2012.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://dailyconnect.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IdeaPad-Yoga-Flip.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-11669" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 3px;" title="IdeaPad-Yoga-Flip" src="http://dailyconnect.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IdeaPad-Yoga-Flip.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="256" /></a>Lenovo (HKSE: 0992) (Pink Sheets: LNVGY) today announced IdeaPad YOGA, the industry’s first multi-mode notebook with a 360 degree flip-and-fold design. Combining the tablet’s ease-of-use with the ultrabook’s functionality, IdeaPad YOGA gives consumers four-in-one personal computing, with four separate usage modes in one PC. Lenovo also announced today its new IdeaCentre A720, the slimmest 27-inch all-in-one (AIO) PC in the industry.</p>
<p>IdeaPad YOGA is the union of a stylish, powerful ultrabook and a portable 13.3” multi-touch tablet. YOGA’s patented dual-hinge design is engineered to enable content consumption and creation spanning four intuitive usage positions &#8230; notebook, tablet, stand, and tent …in one computer, while offering higher durability1 and stability than conventional convertible form factors.</p>
<p>Not to be outdone, the IdeaCentre A720 all-in-one features a pioneering 27-inch screen that allows a more widely adjustable angle from &#8212; -5o to 90o. An innovative screen hinge allows for a more comfortable use in any position and combines with a frameless display that supports 10-point multi-touch capabilities for a greatly enhanced multi-user experience.</p>
<p>“It is clear to us that consumers want their four screens: mobile devices, tablets, notebooks and smart TVs and they want them to work together seamlessly, anytime, anywhere. Whether a notebook that bends and folds, or an all-in-one that puts the &#8216;wide&#8217; into wide-angle, today&#8217;s announcements reflect our focus on delivering the inspirational innovations that consumers are looking for,” said Yang Yuanqing, Chairman and CEO, Lenovo. “The IdeaPad YOGA multi-mode notebook redefines the convergence and convertible user experience by bringing together the best of traditional PCs, with the best of tablets and more.”</p>
<p>IdeaPad YOGA Notebook: Four Experience Modes to Create and Consume</p>
<p>Created for the convergence of professional and personal lifestyles, the IdeaPad YOGA multi-mode notebook introduces an intuitive design that optimizes the user experience of both an ultrabook and tablet across four different usage modes – notebook, tablet, stand and tent. Compared with conventional convertible form factors, YOGA’s patented 360 degree dual- hinge flip design is more stable and durable,1 and enables an overall thinner and lighter hardware design. YOGA is the industry’s thinnest convertible ultrabook measuring 0.67” (16.9mm) thin at 3.1 lbs (1.47kg). Powered by the Intel Core Processor family with a Windows 8 operating system, YOGA supports eight hours of battery life with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD. As a full-size notebook, YOGA’s svelte design includes small but meaningful details such as soft touch rubber paint on the exterior for strong grip, a leather cover on the palm rest, and side buttons designed for easier access for all usage modes.</p>
<p>As a multi-mode notebook, IdeaPad YOGA delivers a comfortable and natural user interaction when using it in any position. To enjoy multi-player touch-based gaming and social media on-the-go, the user simply folds back YOGA’s screen for a portable 13.1“ HD+ (1600 x 900) tablet with 10-point capacitive touch. For entertainment, reading, and web browsing, users can flip the YOGA’s screen panel into a convenient stand or tent mode that saves space and brings the screen closer to the user. YOGA’s versatile multi-mode form factor strikes an ideal balance between creating and consuming content, while at the same time, offering consumers an optimal experience of a notebook and tablet in a single device.</p>
<p>IdeaCentre A720 All-in-One: Taking Touch Experience in the Home to the Next Level</p>
<p>As the industry’s slimmest 27” all-in-one and sporting a sleek metal exterior, the IdeaCentre A720 measures less than an inch (24.5mm)2 and combines a frameless display supporting 10-point multi-touch. The A720 continues Lenovo’s heritage of svelte designs for the AIO by smartly positioning the PC at the base on the unit. Improving AIO design even further, the A720 is engineered to optimize the touch experience in the ‘digital’ home. The A720’s widely adjustable hinge allows the screen to be pulled towards the user at an angle of -5o and folded back to an angle of up to 90o, making touch applications more comfortable over longer periods in any position.</p>
<p>To optimize the touch experience on the AIO, the A720’s 10-point multi-touch display supports multi-user scenarios with greater accuracy. Powered by the Intel Core Processor family and NVIDIA® GeForce® graphics with up to 1TB HDD and 64 GB SSD storage, the A720 delivers an impressive home multimedia experience on a frameless high definition 16:9 wide-screen. With integrated entertainment features, such as room-shaking Dolby Home Theatre V4 audio, Lenovo High-Sense (720p HD) Webcam, and Lenovo IdeaTouch (a suite of touch-optimized applications and games), the A720 is an ultra stylish and fun addition for the modern home entertainment center.</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability</p>
<p>The IdeaPad YOGA multimode notebook will be available in the second half of 2012 with an estimated starting retail price of $1,199. The IdeaCentre A720 all-in-one will be available in the first half of 2012 with an estimated starting retail price of $1,299.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Sony Electronics today announced the addition of two new home devices powered by the Google TV™ platform.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sony Electronics today announced the addition of two new home devices powered by the Google TV™ platform. Sony was one of the industry’s first to launch the ‘Google TV’ products in 2010, and is now taking another step into the future of the home entertainment convergence. The NSZ-GS7 Network Media Player and NSZ-GP9 Blu-ray Disc™ Player will both arrive on shelves in North America and Europe in early summer 2012, and distribution is planned to expand and include other countries and regions.</p>
<p>“The first generation of devices powered by Google TV combined the powerful Android platform with Sony’s legendary home audio/video hardware to deliver on the promise of converging entertainment,” said Charles Speidel, vice president of Sony Electronics’ Home Audio and Video Division. “These brilliant additions advance positive features of the previous models, bringing an intuitive remote control and cross-device connectivity with smartphones, tablets and Sony Internet Audio &amp; Video products – enhancing the home entertainment experience.”</p>
<p>In 2010, Sony introduced the world&#8217;s first television and a Blu-ray Disc player powered by Google TV. In 2011, the platform was updated and added the Android™ Market, making the first-generation Sony Internet TV devices easier to navigate and giving viewers access to thousands of apps, including about 150 apps optimized for TV, for an enhanced customized entertainment experience.</p>
<p>The Google TV difference starts with the cross search functionality, which crawls all content sources available from broadcast providers* and the Internet to deliver customized video results on demand.  Both new boxes come complete with a redesigned remote control equipped with a backlit QWERTY keyboard, a touch pad for easy operation and a three-axis motion sensor to enjoy games. Additionally, the remote control can also be utilized as a universal remote to control connected devices such as TV, set top box and amplifiers &#8211; the NSZ-GP9 Blu-ray Disc Player even incorporates voice search capabilities. By using Sony apps Media Remote™ and TrackID® for Android and iOS mobile devices, users may achieve cross-device connectivity. TrackID is also pre-installed in NSZ-GS7 and NSZ-GP9, allowing customers to search on their connected TV.  The new remote control can manage basic operations on select compatible 2012 BRAVIA televisions and seamlessly display Android Market or apps on the menu screen.</p>
