Recently Released MC-1 B4 to RF Lens Mount Receives RED Digital Cinema’s Prestigious Stamp of Approval

CMMA Blog

October 3, 2022 –  RED Digital Cinema is the leading manufacturer of professional digital cinema cameras, bringing cinema-grade images and performance to content creators everywhere. The recently released MC-1 B4 to RF lens mount enables broadcast organizations and houses of worship to adopt the latest cinema technology while maximizing their existing investment in professional B4 lenses. The mount is designed specifically for RED’s DSMC3 cameras including the RED V-RAPTOR and KOMODO’s multi-sensor formats and is sold exclusively by DigitalGlue at the low cost of $1,749. After rigorous testing by the RED engineering team to ensure it meets the highest level of required specifications, the MC-1 mount has officially been added to the list of  “RED Approved” third-party products.

The budget-friendly MC-1 mount, a 2022 Award of Excellence recipient at NAB, allows production teams to purchase or use a RED camera without needing a new lens, which is the most expensive part of the cinema camera assembly. Matthew Carman, Cinematographer and Creator of the MC-1, notes that “with the new MC-1 B4 to RF mount being available, it now gives RED shooters the largest selection of lens options on the market. From Wildlife to Sports we have everything covered in Broadcast Cinema.” The mount achieves HD 120 frames per second (fps) and UHD 60 fps on the RED KOMODO and HD 480 fps and UHD 240 fps on the RED V-RAPTOR by utilizing the built-in lens doubler while maintaining the lens’ zoom and aperture ranges. Now, broadcast organizations and houses of worship can achieve a broadcast cinematic look with upwards of 17 stops of dynamic range, smooth highlight roll-offs, and exceptional low-light performance. As an official RED systems integrator, DigitalGlue is able to quote and ship back-ordered RED cameras like the 6K KOMODO faster than buying retail.

Tried and True Worker Classification Solutions to End Your Audit Concerns

CMMA Blog

If you are a consumer of HR newsletters, you are well aware that the government is serious about targeting misclassification of employees as independent contractors. More attention on worker classification means an already risky business is about to get riskier. It behooves any business to pay attention before infractions hurt a business’s reputation or their bottom line.

Why do the IRS and DOL care so much about worker misclassification?

You can bet if they have their collective knickers in a bunch, it probably comes down to one thing: simple economics.

Non-compliance with IRS and DOL regulations governing which workers are classified as W-2 employees versus 1099 contractors means lost tax revenue at the state and federal level. That’s because fewer tax dollars are coming from employers without a corresponding increase in tax revenues from independent contractors.

This, combined with huge federal and state budget deficits, is a recipe for stepped up surveillance and enforcement. Witness The Payroll Fraud Prevention Act, which underscores how much attention this issue is getting in Congress.

Still not convinced this iron is hot? The IRS, DOL, and several state agencies share employer information with specific the goal of tracking down practitioners of worker misclassification. Worse, the government doesn’t care if employers misclassify accidentally. It’s up to you to abide by the law.

If you’re concerned about misclassification and don’t have the internal team to manage increasing demands around it, it might be time to consider engaging a partner that knows the laws and can help keep you compliant. We’re ready to talk about what solutions might make your life easier.
