Software for the detection of radioactivity by using a commercially available digital camera measuring radioactive radiation is possible with modern SLRs, special camera settings, and long time exposure. In addition, the software BQScan was developed by the image processing specialists of from Datinf GmbH. The idea for the procedure from experiences with astrophotography, where again image errors occur during long exposures. Various experiments and detailed research ultimately led to the result that the natural radioactivity could be a cause for these unwanted effects. Using radioactive samples for calibration of instruments were investigated the properties of the camera chip and thus the foundations for the measuring procedure. The camera without a lens is used for the measurement. The cap provided by the camera manufacturer is used to the darkening and the protection of the image sensor. The recording is set the camera on very high sensitivity and an exposure time of 30 s. Using the new developed software BQScan are distinguished traces of radioactivity from the normal noise of the chip and analyzes the captured images. Already low radioactivity, can be […]

BLUE PLANiT GmbH launches a new sustainable economic program for RZ Idstein climate protection has arrived on everyone’s lips and at the latest with the CeBit 2008 as a topic of IT in the public perception. n this. Technical papers and congresses around the keyword Green IT\”arguing almost daily to the attention of the industry and piece by piece the knowledge prevails in the affected, operator sooner or later serious must tackle the Professional Computing Center with the theme. After the debate on environmental responsibility has long captured areas such as aviation or the automotive industry, IT passes successively in the radar of public perception. The facts overwhelmingly take the permission of the burgeoning debate: the number of installed servers will grow by 50% by 2010. So also the power consumption and CO2 emissions. With energy-efficient technologies worldwide, a total of 21 TWh or 13.6 million tons of CO2 can be saved from 2007 to 2010. Operators of data centers could save this way until 2010 a total 2.5 billion euros in electricity costs. Operators of data centers will have […]

LiveCut producers solve costly tape machines from Vienna by daily soaps, July 31, 2008 LiveCut is the result of cooperation between the post production supervisor Christof Halasz and ToolsOnAir broadcast engineering GmbH in Vienna. LiveCut creates the connection between the traditional multi-camera, live-to-air & live-to-tape cut above the completely tapeless workflow in the postproduction to Apple’s Final Cut Studio. With various software-based ingest solutions and the pipeline from Telestream to metadata such as camera, scene or angle already during the recording in the QuickTime video file to be written. This information provided the Director and editor in the Final Cut Studio post production at any time. LiveCut is with the image mixer or the crossbar connected, every cut of the vision mixer in the form of metadata writes during the recording, which converted to the recording in a cut sequence FinalCutPro. The individual cameras are in the form of multimedia clips synchronously in the timeline placed on and cut automatically. Thus it is possible to forgo lengthy tape ingest and sighting times and to reduce the use of costly tape […]
