At IBC 2026 in Amsterdam, Viltrox was showing a prototype of its upcoming Viltrox NexusFocus F1 Generation 2. The Generation 2 version is a follow-up to the Viltrox NexusFocus F1 PL-to-Sony E-mount adapter that came to market earlier in the year. While the NexusFocus F1 adapter worked well, it was a little difficult to set up and configure, and there were a few quirks. Viltrox has listened to customer feedback, and the Generation 2 version is claimed to be easier to configure and use.

Blackmagic Design has released the Blackmagic Camera 10.3 Update, which adds support for new-generation 6-color science, pre-record, SMPTE-2110 video, and the DaVinci Resolve color corrector to the Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K LF. The update also adds Blackmagic RAW 4.6K crop format, dual LUT functionality, 4-channel audio recording, SDI Camera Control input on SDI B, and support for the URSA Cine Mount B4, URSA Cine B4 Adapter Cable, and URSA Cine Studio Viewfinder.

At IBC 2026, we honored six companies we felt deserved recognition for innovation in new product releases. The field was wide open, as we didn’t charge an entry fee to be considered. Congratulations to all the winners! There were a lot of new products and releases, so narrowing down to six was a difficult choice. Matt and I each chose three winners from the products that we each saw during the show.

Blackmagic Design has released the Blackmagic Camera 10.2.3 update for URSA Cine 17K 65, which adds improved camera startup performance and a new quiet record function. The new quiet record function allows you to adjust the fan speed so that it runs more quietly when recording, which is useful for capturing clean audio such as dialogue in extremely quiet environments.

Tarion brought its TitanRig cart Pro to IBC 2026, a production cart that folds flat in seconds via quick-release latches rather than the slow bolt-together assembly of a typical rack cart, or the flimsiness of a repurposed beach cart. We caught up with Tarion’s Adam on the show floor, who ran through both the Base and Pro versions. I think you will be surprised on the pricing.

SIRUI was showing the new Saturn V2 anamorphic set at IBC 2026, and the headline feature is one you have to see rather than read about: a locking barrel that rotates 90 degrees, switching the lens from horizontal to vertical anamorphic shooting without removing it from the camera. Newsshooter already has the full spec and pricing post on the Saturn V2. The Saturn V2 is a rehoused, re-optimized version of the original Saturn, released more than five years ago.

Fujifilm showed the finished VF-GFXC2 electronic viewfinder at IBC 2026, the EVF for the GFX ETERNA 55 that’s been asked about since the camera launched with a monitor only. Fujifilm previewed a 3D-printed mockup of it at IBC last year specifically to gather feedback on form factor and functionality before finalizing the design. We talked to Fujifilm’s Mark about what changed and what’s still unconfirmed.

At IBC 2026 in Amsterdam, Alvins Cables was showing a new, upcoming D-tap splitter that provides a D-tap to LEMO input, and then the splitter has two 2-pin LEMO outputs, three D-taps, and a USB-C output. It also has a safety breaker in the D-tap connector, so power will switch off if you plug it in incorrectly.

At IBC 2026 in Amsterdam, ZCAM was showing its new E1N Compact NDI Camera. The camera features a 1″ CMOS sensor, and it is capable of outputting or recording up to 4K 60p in 10-bit. It was more than 10 years ago that ZCAM announced its first E1 NDI cameras, and the E1N is the latest evolution of that series. The E1N features an MFT lens mount, utilizes NDI HX3, and is PoE+ enabled. You can use EzLink to connect multiple cameras together for multi-cam sync applications.
