ZGC Extends Winning Relationship with P+S Technik, Announces Exclusive Americas Representation
3D Rig, SteadyFrame Scanner, and WEISSCAM Added to ZGC's Growing Portfolio of Innovative Production and Post-production Equip
February 18, 2009 -- DMN Newswire--2009-2-18-- February 18, 2009 (Mountain Lakes, NJ) As distribution powerhouse ZGC continues an expansion of staff, products and geographical coverage, the New Jersey-based company has announced exciting, exclusive, North and South American distribution agreements for three cutting-edge products from P+S Technik, extending ZGC's long and successful relationship with the German cine equipment manufacturer. ZGC is also the exclusive North American distributor for Cooke Optics, and represents many other leading professional camera equipment manufacturers.
ZGC will be exclusively representing all P+S products including the highly regarded WEISSCAM, the new P+S Technik 3D Stereo Rig, and the revolutionary SteadyFrame Scanner in North and South America. Les Zellan, CEO, ZGC, commented, "P+S Technik has entrusted us with products that are among the most interesting and innovative production and post-production tools we've seen. We are excited to be able to work closely with the products' designers, and to present absolutely amazing tools to content creators. The new SteadyFrame Scanner is a powerful, high quality tool for the post-production market, and we are well placed to extend into this sector of professional imaging."
The new products in ZGC's portfolio are:
- SteadyFrame Scanner - this state-of-the-art digital film scanner was designed for archive scanning and for scanning extensive quantities of film in a short period of time at the highest quality possible without damaging the film. A robust, universal format, 2K product, its realtime scanning ability and ease of use make it an ideal option for dailies and other day-to-day post-production needs.
- WEISSCAM - a revolutionary new digital high speed camera system offering a compact, flexible, mobile and reliable digital system. Cinematographer Stefan Weiss developed the camera after working with almost every digital high speed camera available. From that experience, Stefan perceived and addressed a variety of needs and situations that should be addressed by a high speed camera. He developed the WEISSCAM products to give cinematographers the freedom to choose any image format, frame rate, and live ramping. The WEISSCAM has become a well-proven, set tested camera.
- P+S Technik 3D Stereo Rig - This newly-developed rig enables production of stereoscopic films without the limitations of a side-by-side system. The production team can utilize whichever cameras and lenses they prefer, since the 3D Stereo Rig supports the most common cameras - from HDV to 4K. The 3D Stereo Rig features a sophisticated calibration mechanism that allows for accurate and easy adjustment of two cameras, saving invaluable and irreplaceable set-time.
ZGC will be coordinating a series of in-depth educational events for the 3D Stereo Rig in the Los Angeles area, Vancouver and New York in February and March, 2009. The SteadyFrame Scanner can be seen in action in the New York area shortly, and in other spots in the Americas mid-2009. For details and registration for these events, visit www.zgc.com.
ZGC will be present at NAB in the P+S Technik stand in the Bavarian Pavilion and will be available for press appointments at that time.
