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.
Winners
- Tentacle Sync — TRACK E2
- SIRUI — Saturn V2
- Motorized Precision — EVA
- Deity — D4RX
- Dream Chip — Atom Two HDR
- Desview — Core OL Series
Tentacle Sync — TRACK E2
The TRACK E2 builds on the original TRACK E’s 32-bit float recording and timecode sync with stereo recording, mic/line input selection, an OLED display, and a dedicated record button in place of the old sliding lever. The standout addition is Sound Check, a real-time audio analysis system that flags recording problems on the device itself with a color-coded indicator, red if there’s an issue, so a set-and-forget recorder doesn’t leave you discovering a bad take in the edit. Availability is targeted for late 2026, at a price slightly above the current TRACK E.
SIRUI — Saturn V2
The Saturn V2 anamorphic set keeps the size, weight, and 1.6x squeeze at T2.9 of the original Saturn, and adds a locking barrel that rotates 90 degrees, switching the lens between horizontal and vertical anamorphic shooting, flare axis included, without removing it from the camera. The three lenses (35mm, 50mm, 75mm) ship in Sony E, Leica L, and Canon RF mounts, and move to a neutral flare in place of the original’s blue streak. The set is $1,699 USD via B&H, with individual lenses around $600, shipping within two to three weeks of the show.
Motorized Precision — EVA
EVA brings Motorized Precision’s cinema robotics down to a compact 6-axis system for smartphones and mirrorless cameras: 2kg payload, 500mm of reach, ±0.05mm repeatability, and an 11kg total weight, controllable from a computer or an iPhone/iPad/Android device. It’s built to bring programmable, repeatable robotic moves to smaller, faster-moving productions that couldn’t previously justify the cost. EVA starts at $7,499 USD, including the robot, camera adaptor, base plate, MP Studio Lite, and a year of software and support, with shipping targeted for Q4 2026.
Deity — D4RX
The D4RX packs eight radios into a four-channel true-diversity slot receiver, which Deity says is the first digital slot quad of its kind. It drops into a Panasonic uni-slot mount or, with a swappable rear plate, onto a belt-clip sled for cages and cold shoes. THEOS Link handles remote control over a dedicated 2.4GHz antenna, running a 3-second spectrum scan across all four channels and pushing new frequencies out to paired transmitters at once. Pricing wasn’t announced, but Deity says it’ll be aggressive, with shipping targeted for the end of 2026.
Dream Chip — Atom Two HDR
The Atom Two HDR steps Dream Chip’s miniature global-shutter broadcast camera line up to 14-bit dynamic range (from 12-bit) with improved 16-bit processing, in the same IP67-rated, 53-gram body as the rest of the Atom Two family. It’s built for exactly the spots a standard camera can’t reach, motorsport, equestrian, stadium, and aerial POV work, with an interchangeable S-Mount lens system. The Atom Two HDR ships in October 2026 at $1,899 USD.
Desview — Core OL Series
The Core OL Series covers three high-bright multiview production monitors: the 14-inch Core OL14 Pro, and the 16-inch Core OL16 Max and Core OL16 Ultra 12G. All three run AMOLED panels at 1200 nits peak brightness, 100% DCI-P3, and 10-bit color, with a full monitoring toolset (waveform, vectorscope, false color, multi-ratio guides) and multi-view modes up to quad-split with per-window LUTs. The OL16 Ultra 12G adds four 12G-SDI I/O for native uncompressed 4K workflows. Pricing runs $1,299 (OL14 Pro), $1,999 (OL16 Max), and $2,999 (OL16 Ultra 12G), all available to pre-order now via B&H.
