The filter-holders will be added to its AtomOne mini cameras The addition is particularly beneficial in sports where the camera is mounted on something moving A number of high profile racing competitions already integrate versions of the AtomOne mini and ND filter-holder addition into their broadcast setup Dream Chip added that while internal mounting of cameras in race sports has an established history it often represents a complex trade-off between the needs of the racers and the needs of the audience inconvenience and potential risk to the competitors while the need to keep cameras small and capable of withstanding the intense conditions of motor racing often meant a compromise in broadcast quality and reliability The AtomOne mini was designed to overcome this problem It is only a little larger than a euro coin and weighs just 45 grams making it safer to the racers while its exceptional image quality mean that producers can be confident they are getting the highest quality images with exceptional reliability due to the rugged build quality “The ND filter-holder is a natural extension of our product and the philosophy behind it: namely the ability to capture exceptional image quality even in the most challenging of conditions,” explained Christian Kühn head of sales and product marketing for Dream Chip. “The development of the ND filter-holder stemmed from consultation with existing customers,” he continued “By developing to accommodate the needs of specific users who we already have an established relationship with we are able to create enhancements that benefit the whole market We remain committed to always finding ways to meet the needs of our customers; this balance between in-house innovation and customer-led development is what keeps us leading the market in terms of miniaturized camera innovation and we’re very fortunate for it” Dream Chip will showcase this new feature at IBC 2021 on booth 11.C36 More information about

providing its AtomOne mini AIR camera for the line-to-gain wireless pylon cameras used in the production Two AtomOne mini AIR cameras were integrated into each line-to-gain camera selected by 3g Wireless—the equipment and services provider to CBS The cameras weigh 45 grams and measure in at 30x30x18mm They also featured an S-mount lens to provide Full HD resolution Another key component of the AtomOne mini AIR was its ability to complement the broadcast’s larger-scale camera setups The camera could color match with these other cameras eliminating any need for adjustment in the studio It was also integrated with a CyanView controller for colorimetric control 3g Wireless Director for Business Development and Sports Operations Gordon Capaccio praised the AtomOne mini AIR’s level of detail saying that they were able to show “every blade of grass.” For more information, visit www.atom-one.de AtomTwo camera is just slightly smaller than a ping pong ball which specializes in miniature and point-of-view cameras In a self-contained package just 29mm x 29mm x 33mm the new AtomTwo offers stunning HDR quality with a huge dynamic range The integral 4.5mm lens provides a 90˚ field of view perfect for body-worn ref cams as well as fixed POV uses it is also perfect for mounting on a miniature drone giving broadcasters viewpoints which have been impossible in the past Dream Chip says the AtomTwo is the smallest camera with a global shutter available on the market today where it is vital in high-value productions like sports where a rolling shutter creates very visible distortions and disturbances The global shutter capture in the AtomTwo delivers clean global shutter and wide colour gamut make it simple to match to box cameras in major productions Being able to cut freely between the AtomTwo and system cameras frees directors from creative restrictions and delivers higher production values to the viewer “During the development programme of the AtomTwo we had experienced users come in and really put the camera through its paces,” said Dr.-Ing “They found they could match it to a system camera so well that it was hard for even an expert shader to tell which was which.” The new AtomTwo camera will be demonstrated at NAB Dream Chip Technologies will be in Booth N1807 in the North Hall of the LVCC For more information, visit atom-camera.com the leading

allotment plot used by the prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann have reportedly found a cellar once believed to have belonged to a garden house that was torn down at the end of 2007 German media have been reporting on the apparent development Two small excavators are being used to dig up the plot on the outskirts of the north German city of Hanover German investigators’ main suspect in the abduction of the three-year-old British girl in 2007 Brückner reportedly lived there during 2007 He said he had lived off grid and had left within a year which involved a large team of police officers began in the early hours of Monday morning and is expected to continue at least until the end of Wednesday using spades and rakes to comb over the ground Big slabs of building materials have also been removed apparently from the remains of the foundation of the garden house The cellar was reportedly discovered on Wednesday morning One allotment tenant next to the plot told the newspaper Bild the cellar had belonged to the plot “for many years” and had been added by a previous tenant It was not filled in when the summer house attached to it was torn down at the end of 2007 and added extra non-transparent screening on Wednesday Police confirmed reports that they had shut the airspace over the area they were searching to prevent helicopters and drones from observing from overhead The police have not revealed what it is they are hoping to find But a spokeswoman for state prosecutors in Braunschweig who are leading the investigation and working alongside Germany’s federal criminal police confirmed that the search was taking place as part of its investigation into the disappearance Madeleine in Portugal in 2007 police searched an abandoned factory property in the neighbouring state of Saxony-Anhalt in which Brückner is also believed to have lived and uncovered thousands of images on video tapes and USB sticks buried there Earlier this month Portuguese police and divers searched three wells in the area of Vila do Bispo on the Algarve has repeatedly said in statements and interviews that investigators have concrete evidence that Brückner – who was living in Praia da Luz when Madeleine was staying in the Algarve town with her family – was involved in her disappearance He has also said he believes the British girl is dead but has so far declined to give more details The allotment lies in the rural region between Hanover Ahlem and Seelze-Letter and is around 40 miles from Braunschweig Brückner is serving a prison sentence in the city of Kiel for drug trafficking He was confirmed as a main suspect in the disappearance last month He lived in the Algarve between 1995 and 2007 and has two previous convictions for sexual contact with girls one for the rape of a 72-year-old American woman and numerous other convictions for theft and fraud He was found guilty last December of the rape of the American woman in Praia da Luz in 2005 but is appealing against the sentence in the European court of human rights His current prison term is due to expire in January Stefan Wittke, a police spokesman, said survivors told authorities the fire broke out in the on-board toilet as the bus drove down the A2 autobahn near Hanove, and quickly engulfed the vehicle after the door was opened and flames shot out. A fire department official, Claus Roehrbein, said: "Passengers who were sitting close to the exit could get away, but the others had no chance." Thirteen people were injured, three of them with serious burns. The bus, owned by Hanover-based company Mommeyer, was said to have had between 33 and 39 people on board. It had been chartered by a tour group to go from Hanover on a day trip to a farm, according to Uwe Prehn, the husband of the company's owner, and was on its way back to Hanover when the fire broke out at 8.45pm local time. All the passengers were local people, Wittke said. Early today firefighters combed the scorched wreckage of the bus, trying to put out the fire. It had pulled off into an emergency lane before it was engulfed in flames and its back window had been blown out. According to Reuters, Nadia Possberg, who had been driving past, told local television: "I just saw smoke and then I got closer and closer and realised that a coach was on fire." Germany's transport minister, Wolfgang Tiefensee, said he was "deeply shocked" by the accident and called for a careful investigation into the cause of the fire and whether safety regulations were followed.
