08/01/03

Panasonic's professional AG-DVC7 full-size Mini-DV camcorder ($1,295) features a shoulder-mount body style that yields steadier images, delivers a more professional-looking appearance and enhances product security compared to consumer-based palm-sized models. It is equipped with a next-generation Interline Transfer (IT) CCD imager and a large-diameter 15X optical zoom, which offers high picture quality and a minimum illumination of 1 lux. The AG-DVC7 comes standard with an IEEE-1394 digital interface terminal for the transfer of digital video into Mac- and Windows-based nonlinear editing systems. Weighing 4.62 lbs., the AG-DVC7 offers a wealth of easy-to-use manual functions, including manual focus and new picture effects. It also features a "Cinema" mode that enables widescreen-format (16:9 letterbox) recording. Panasonic, (800) 528-8601, www.panasonic.com/achieve.

California AI Watermarking Bill Supported by OpenAI

OpenAI, creator of ChatGPT, is backing a California bill that would require tech companies to label AI-generated content in the form of a digital "watermark." The proposed legislation, known as the "California Digital Content Provenance Standards" (AB 3211), aims to ensure transparency in digital media by identifying content created through artificial intelligence. This requirement would apply to a broad range of AI-generated material, from harmless memes to deepfakes that could be used to spread misinformation about political candidates.
