MONS, BELGIUM—The doors are closing at I-Movix, a provider of extreme slow-motion technology for sports broadcasts, as the company announced it has gone bankrupt in an email to its customers and partners.

“We are very thankful and grateful to our amazing team of young talents, passionate and dedicated engineers, technicians, sales guys, administrative people, etc.” wrote Laurent Renard, I-Movix CEO and founder, and Nathalie Vinchent, CFO and founder, in the email. “We are very proud of the fantastic products we all developed at I-Movix since 2005.”

I-Movix is known for its Infinite live slow motion camera and its X10 series of equipment.

LAS VEGAS—I-Movix will announce the availability of a new Autoclip feature for its Infinite live slow motion camera at the 2017 NAB Show. This new feature allows important media assets to be transferred automatically to the server where they’re immediately available for use by VT operators.

The Infinite slow motion camera, demonstrated at last year’s NAB, captures continuous, on-board loop recording of more than an hour of footage at high frame rates and resolutions. Its extensive slow motion capabilities enable production teams to review and use substantial content for the live show, post-game analysis, or marketing.

With its extended memory, the camera does not require a dedicated server infrastructure. It can be used for remote/IP operation, and in a wireless setup. And it streamlines production logistics when used in standalone mode without a dedicated server, or in conjunction with a server.

Since the Infinite slow motion camera has a compact 2RU footprint, and only requires a single channel, it saves space in the OB van and contributes to a lower cost of ownership.

The 2017 NAB Show takes place in Las Vegas, April 24-27. I-Movix will be in boothC8625. For more information, visit www.nabshow.com.

LAS VEGAS—At the 2016 NAB Show, I-Movix will debut Infinite, a scalable, ultra slow motion system. Adaptable to any production workflow, Infinite can be used for live HDTV sports and events, commercials, documentaries, feature films and scientific R&D applications.

Infinite

Based on Vision Research’s Phantom Flex4K camera and the I-Movix X10 platform, Infinite can record more than an hour of continuous ultra motion in HD, even without a server. With its trigger-less workflow, Infinite is simpler and more flexible to operate, while lowering costs, saving space and easing the load on production resources.

I-Movix will also showcase the X10 UHD RF system, further extending the operational flexibility of the X10 UHD system and X10 product range. The X10 UHD RF can be used in wireless mode for very high-frame rate ultra-slow motion in HD sports productions. It enables live and replay operation with standard RF equipment and is available with a choice of wireless camera-back solutions, including Vislink’s Clip-On 4 or L1700.

The 2016 NAB Show takes place in Las Vegas, April 18-21. I-Movix will be in booth C8725. For more information, visit www.nabshow.com.
