About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

B&H is pleased to announce the Sony FX30 Digital Cinema Camera. This camera lowers the barrier for entry into Sony’s highly regarded Cinema Line and delivers top-notch quality and professional features to everyday content creators.

Borrowing a lot from the FX3, the Sony FX30 uses nearly the same form factor with the only noticeable change being the use of a 26MP APS-C BSI CMOS sensor. This sensor down-samples the 6K Super 35mm area to produce high-quality UHD 4K imagery. High-quality recording is possible in 4K up to 60p, while 120p requires a 1.6x crop of the sensor. All these modes are available in 10-bit 4:2:2 using Sony’s many recording formats, including the newer XAVC HS and XAVC S-I. The camera can also output 16-bit raw over HDMI.

Key Features

  • 26.1MP APS-C BSI CMOS Sensor
  • UHD 4K up to 120p
  • Compact Form Designed for Cage-Free Use
  • 10-Bit 4:2:2 XAVC S-I,16-Bit Raw Output
  • S-Cinetone/S-Log3/HLG, 14+ Stops DR
  • Phase Detection AF/Face Tracking/Eye AF
  • Standard ISO 100-32000 | Dual Base ISO
  • Dual CFexpress Type A/SDXC Card Slots
  • User LUTs & Timecode Sync Support

The use of the BIONZ XR sensor allows the FX30 to realize many features found in higher-end cinema cameras. These include benefits such as the ability to import user LUTs, S-Log3 and S-Cinetone Picture Profiles, Cine EI, and more. The sensor can make the most of these functions with Dual Base ISO of 800 / 2500, a base ISO range of 100-32000, and a rated dynamic range of 14+ stops.

Other advantages of this powerful processor are a Fast Hybrid AF system that uses 495 points over 90% of the sensor for high-speed, accurate tracking even when shooting in 4K at 120p. The camera will offer Real-time Eye AF and Real-time Tracking, as well as AF Assist and Focus Map functions.

Breathing Compensation will be available in the FX30 with select lenses, as well as the Active mode for the image stabilization system, which works with the camera’s 5-axis in-body image stabilization for smoother performance.

Sony is preparing a Catalyst Prepare Plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro that will allow users to read the metadata of the video files, including breathing compensation and gyro data, among others, to allow for adjustments to be made in post-production.

The body is as small and capable as the FX3. It features the same compact, lightweight design that has multiple threaded holes for mounting accessories directly. It is designed for cage-free operation. The camera also uses the latest menu and info display for a clean, intuitive user experience. There is a cooling fan for long, uninterrupted recording, and the camera will support timecode sync with the optional VMC-BNCM1 Timecode Adapter Cable.

As opposed to the FX3, the FX30 is available with and without the XLR-H1 XLR Handle Unit. For users who might not need the advanced audio unit, this can make the system smaller and more affordable. If individuals might want to consider picking it up later, it will be available separately.

Announced with the camera are new sizes of Sony’s CFexpress Type A TOUGH Memory Cards. Shooters will now be able to select larger 320GB and 640GB capacities to use with their FX3, a7S III, a1, FX6, or the new FX30.
