- franga2000 2y agoThe latest firmware update for the Sony A7S III has introduced unlockable licenses and a website where you can buy them. The first one (for DCI 4K) is free, but it looks like they'll be chraging for unlocking more "professional" firmware features in the future.
- tobyhinloopen 2y agoHah I am aware. There's a lot of shit in Sony camp, but Canon is a whole other level. Nikon seems to be the "good guy" these days.
- eurekin 2y agoI'm not sure this is the case, but to play devils advocate - Sony themselves might have to license it from a third party
- davidgerard 2y agoThere is no reason to bend over backwards to make up excuses for bad behaviour.
- eurekin 2y agoIt's just experience from a video monitoring project we made for a Telco operator - we had to pay up quite a few JPEG related tech, just to get a certification. Even despite that tech being free. Historically video related field was one of the most patent and license encumbered. That's why AV1 exists.
- nicbou 2y agoYep. This is a sign that the meetings have already happened, and that the course has already been set. The idea was already sold, has picked some momentum, and possibly defines a few people's bonuses.
