  • Revolutionizing Content Creation: HONOR 400 Series Debuts AI-Powered Image-to-Video Tech

    Revolutionizing Content Creation: HONOR 400 Series Debuts AI-Powered Image-to-Video Tech

    HONOR is setting a new benchmark in smartphone imaging with the upcoming launch of its HONOR 400 Series in Malaysia on 22 May 2025. Even before its official debut, the buzz surrounding the series has been palpable, particularly due to its revolutionary AI-powered photo and video capabilities. Central to the excitement is HONOR’s newly introduced AI Image to Video feature, developed in collaboration with Google Cloud AI, which allows users to effortlessly convert still images into engaging short videos.

    This innovation represents a major leap forward in how users can relive and repurpose their photos. Whether it’s old family pictures, scenic shots, digital artwork, or comic strips, this tool can bring them to life as animated five-second videos—no third-party apps needed. Designed to make creativity seamless and accessible, it empowers users to transform personal memories into dynamic visual stories that can be easily shared across social platforms.

    Supporting this is a flagship-level camera system tailored for both casual and professional mobile photography. The HONOR 400 Series features a powerful 200MP main camera with a 1/1.4-inch super sensor, significantly upgraded from the previous generation. The imaging setup is further enhanced with OIS and EIS, ensuring sharp, stable shots even in low light. While both models include a 12MP wide and macro camera, only the HONOR 400 Pro is equipped with a 50MP AI telephoto lens capable of up to 50x digital zoom. Selfie lovers can also look forward to a 50MP Portrait Selfie Camera, delivering studio-like results straight from the phone.

    Beyond the hardware, what truly distinguishes the HONOR 400 Series is its suite of Next-Gen AI Imaging tools. The AI Eraser 2.0 refines photos by removing unwanted people, glare, or background clutter with incredible accuracy. AI Cutout gives users creative control to extract and reposition subjects with background editing options like solid colors, transparency, or new settings. Meanwhile, AI Outpainting intelligently extends photo edges, making it perfect for scenic shots and social media banners.

    Another notable tool is AI Upscale, which breathes new life into low-resolution or blurry images by enhancing details with a single tap. For dynamic storytelling, users can create animated montages using the Moving Photo Collage feature, combining several Live Photos into lively clips complete with sound, filters, and timing options.

    Rounding out the package is Harcourt Studio 2.0, which replicates cinematic portrait effects. With intelligent depth simulation and artistic filters such as Harcourt Classic and Harcourt Colour, this tool brings a professional polish to every shot.

    To highlight the emotional impact of AI Image to Video, HONOR recently released two heartfelt Mother’s Day tributes. One video showed a woman reviving a childhood photo of her late mother, who passed away in a house fire. The animation brought her mother’s smile and expressions back to life, creating an unforgettable digital memory. In another story, a grieving girl found comfort when her father animated an old photo of her and her grandmother, once again making her presence felt through a moving image.

    These real-life stories exemplify how the HONOR 400 Series isn’t just about cutting-edge technology—it’s about transforming how we connect with our memories.

    The official launch will be livestreamed on 22 May 2025 at 3PM via HONOR Malaysia’s Facebook page. For more information, visit www.honor.com/my.

    Key components of the partnership include the Digital Leadership Excellence (DLE) Programme, the Seeds for the Future initiative, and the Huawei ICT Academy. These platforms are designed to foster collaboration between public sector leaders and industry experts, driving the adoption of cutting-edge technologies that will enhance the operational efficiency of government services and improve overall service delivery to citizens.

    The collaboration was formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that outlines the shared objectives of the two organizations. INTAN, as Malaysia’s leading training institute for public sector employees, is committed to providing its trainees with the knowledge and tools needed to solve modern challenges and promote national development. By working with Huawei, INTAN reinforces its commitment to embracing digital technologies, supporting the public sector’s transformation, and ensuring that Malaysia’s civil servants are ready for the future.

Huawei will provide technological support, mentorship, and evaluation resources, while INTAN will help facilitate participation and guide civil servants in connecting with senior government leaders to amplify the outcomes of the initiative.

    This strategic partnership aligns with Malaysia’s broader ambition to become a high-tech economy by 2030. A digitally skilled public sector is essential to achieving this vision, bridging the digital divide, improving government transparency, and fostering sustainable economic growth. The collaboration is expected to bring about significant changes in the way public services are delivered, with an emphasis on innovation, accessibility, and responsiveness to citizens’ needs.

    With the MoU now in place, this partnership marks the beginning of a new era in Malaysia’s public sector, empowering civil servants with the tools and knowledge to lead with data-driven insights and deliver services that are more efficient, transparent, and aligned with the needs of the people.

    Perak Terus Maju: Hotel Casuarina@Meru dan TNB Perkasa Infrastruktur Pengecas EV

    Komitmen Perak dalam memacu pembangunan lestari terus diperkukuh menerusi kerjasama antara Casuarina Meru Sdn. Bhd. (CMSB) dan Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) untuk penyediaan kemudahan pengecas kenderaan elektrik (EV) di Hotel Casuarina@Meru. Inisiatif ini merupakan sebahagian daripada usaha menyokong aspirasi negeri ke arah pelancongan hijau dan pembangunan berasaskan mobiliti rendah karbon seperti yang digariskan dalam Perak Sejahtera 2030.

    Kerjasama strategik tersebut dimeterai secara rasmi dalam satu majlis pertukaran dokumen di Casuarina Convention Centre, yang disempurnakan oleh YAB Dato’ Seri Saarani bin Mohamad, Menteri Besar Perak. Turut hadir menyaksikan majlis tersebut ialah barisan kepimpinan kerajaan negeri dan wakil syarikat terlibat, termasuk Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Sains, Alam Sekitar dan Teknologi Hijau Negeri Perak, Presiden dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif TNB, serta wakil eksekutif daripada PKNPk, Perak Corporation Berhad, dan Hotel Casuarina@Meru.

    Di bawah perjanjian ini, TNB akan memasang satu pengecas pantas DC 120kW dengan muncung berkembar (CCS2) dan dua pengecas AC 22kW, lengkap dengan tempat letak kereta khas EV, sistem pembayaran digital serta akses 24 jam. Fasiliti ini akan menjadi antara yang paling canggih dan terpantas dalam kalangan hotel di Ipoh, sekaligus meningkatkan nilai pengalaman penginapan serta imej kelestarian hotel.

    Menurut Menteri Besar Perak, usaha ini mencerminkan kesungguhan negeri dalam membina ekonomi hijau berteraskan inovasi dan teknologi tenaga bersih. Tambah beliau, penglibatan aktif pemain industri seperti TNB dan Casuarina Meru membuktikan bahawa sinergi sektor awam-swasta mampu menghasilkan impak nyata terhadap kelestarian alam dan pertumbuhan ekonomi negeri.

    Setakat ini, Perak telah membangunkan 149 petak pengecas EV di 56 lokasi strategik seluruh negeri, iaitu 30% daripada sasaran 500 pengecas menjelang 2025. Dengan adanya kemudahan baharu di Casuarina@Meru, pencapaian tersebut dijangka terus meningkat. Dato’ Mohd Azhar Jamaluddin, Pengerusi Casuarina Meru Sdn. Bhd., menekankan bahawa usaha ini bukan sahaja memperkukuh imej hotel sebagai destinasi hijau, malah menunjukkan komitmen serius terhadap pemeliharaan alam sekitar.

    Majlis turut menyaksikan demonstrasi pengecasan menggunakan Proton e.MAS, kenderaan elektrik nasional, sebagai simbol kepada kemajuan teknologi tempatan dan kebolehlaksanaan pelaksanaan infrastruktur EV secara meluas. Kemudahan pengecas ini dijangka siap sepenuhnya pada suku ketiga 2025 dan akan beroperasi di bawah jenama Elektron milik TNB — sejajar dengan sasaran negara untuk mencapai 10,000 pengecas EV menjelang akhir 2025.

    Sebagai tambahan kepada pemasangan pengecas, langkah proaktif turut diambil oleh PKNPk dengan pemasangan panel solar di bumbung Casuarina Convention Centre dan kawasan parkir hotel. Lampu jalan berkuasa solar di Bulatan Sultan Azlan Shah turut dibina sebagai usaha mengurangkan penggunaan tenaga grid dan meningkatkan keselamatan awam.

    Dengan bimbingan strategik PKNPk serta pelaksanaan berkesan oleh Perak Corporation Berhad dalam sektor pelabuhan, hartanah, pelancongan dan perkhidmatan, Perak semakin hampir untuk menjadi negeri pelaburan yang berteraskan kelestarian. Inisiatif ini mencerminkan cita-cita besar kerajaan dan sektor korporat untuk membina masa depan negeri yang hijau, berdaya saing dan inklusif.

From staying connected with classmates to managing assignments and enjoying entertainment, a reliable smartphone makes life easier. That’s why vivo Malaysia has launched the vivo Y29 and Y39, two smartphones designed to meet the needs of students who want power, durability, and immersive experiences at an affordable price.

    Battery life is one of the biggest concerns for students, and the Y29 and Y39 solve this problem with a massive 6500mAh BlueVolt Battery. With up to 73 hours of usage, students can go through an entire weekend without needing to charge. Whether you’re studying late, watching Netflix, or chatting with friends, you won’t have to worry about your phone dying at the worst moment. Plus, reverse charging lets you share battery power with friends, making you the hero of the group when someone’s phone is running low.

    Students live an active lifestyle, and smartphones need to keep up. That’s why the IP64 dust and water resistance, along with shock-proof durability, ensures the Y29 and Y39 can handle accidental spills, drops, or unexpected rain. Whether your phone slips out of your pocket while running to class or gets wet during a sudden downpour, these smartphones are built to last.

    A good screen makes all the difference, especially for students who spend hours reading notes, watching videos, or gaming in between study sessions. The 6.68-inch 120Hz Smooth Display provides vibrant colors and fluid visuals, making scrolling and transitions seamless. Whether you’re switching between assignments or watching a lecture recording, everything looks smooth and clear.

    Great audio is also a must-have for students, whether for virtual classes, video calls, or entertainment. The 400% Volume Boost with Dual Stereo Speakers ensures that you can hear clearly even in noisy environments. No more struggling to hear your lecturer’s voice in an online class or missing out on your favorite songs in a busy dorm room—these speakers deliver rich and powerful sound.

    For students with tight schedules, 44W FlashCharge is a lifesaver. A quick charge before heading to class gives enough battery to last for hours, reducing the stress of running out of power in the middle of the day. With fast charging, students can stay connected without constantly looking for a power outlet.

    What makes the Y29 and Y39 even better is their 5-year battery lifespan, meaning they can stay reliable from the first day of college to graduation. With a long-lasting battery, students can enjoy their devices for years without worrying about performance declines or frequent replacements.

    The vivo Y29 and Y39 bring together power, durability, and immersive entertainment, making them the ultimate student smartphones. Whether you need a phone for studying, socializing, or relaxing, these devices have you covered. Upgrade your student life today with vivo!

  • MALAYSIA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP 2024 APPLICATION OPENS, FINAS CHAIRMAN APPLAUDS EFFORTS TO SPUR COUNTRY’S DIGITAL CREATIVE TALENT DEVELOPMENT

    With two categories available, the CCC’s Adobe Certified Professional (ACP) Malaysia National Championship 2024 & Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) Malaysia National Championship 2024, Creative Cloud Community and Acestar proudly launched the 9th Annual Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Event – Malaysia National Championship 2024. Today’s event at Nexus @ CCEC, Bangsar South, presided over by Dato’ Kamil Othman, Chairman of the National Film Development Corporation (FINAS), and it has the potential to spark a new chapter in the history of creativity and education, talent development, and social consciousness in the nation.

    Open to youths aged 13 to 22 years old in both categories through official registration by educational institutions at the secondary and tertiary levels, the CCC’s Adobe Certified Professional Malaysia National Championship category, currently in its 9th series, tests the participants’ skills in creating creative content using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe InDesign based on themes set by the organizer in collaboration with NGO Program Strategic Partners in February 2024. They will go through four qualifying stages to reach the CCC’s Adobe Certified Professional Malaysia National Championship 2024 Grand Finale where the Grand Champion will be chosen. The Grand Champion of this category will be exclusively sponsored by Acestar to represent the country in the Certiport’s Adobe Certified Professional World Championship 2024.

    Meanwhile, the Microsoft Office Specialist Malaysia National Championship 2024, the fourth time it is held in Malaysia, will assess participants’ abilities in using Microsoft Office Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, with each software having its own criteria and evaluation. Participants will undergo three qualifying stages before the Grand Finale, where the winners will be announced.

    Adjunct Professor Natalie Sit, Group CEO of Acestar and Founder of the Creative Cloud Community, unveiled an ambitious vision during the event – to upskill 10% of Malaysia’s population through Micro-Credentials Certifications Program. This groundbreaking initiative marks a pivotal step towards nurturing a skilled workforce and fortifying the growth of a certified talent pool in Malaysia.

    “I’ve set an ambitious mission—to elevate this passion project to a national project, to certify and upskill 3 millions youth. I know it may seem impossible to achieve, but consider this: if we can upskill 10% of our population, there’s hope for the future. We are preparing our youth to take over the world in the next 10 years.” explained Sit in her opening address.

    Meanwhile, Kamil expressed his hope in his officiating remark, “(Our GDP) figures are projected to continue rising in the next 10 or 20 years if young digital talents are continuously encouraged and supported by educational institutions, whether secondary or tertiary, to participate in talent development opportunities like these (the championship).”

    Keynote speeches by representatives from Department of Education Resources and Technology from Ministry of Education Malaysia, Malaysian Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), Human Resource Development Corporation (HRD Corp), Adobe and Microsoft (Malaysia) illuminated diverse perspectives on youth empowerment in the digital age, the profound influence on digital economics, human resources, and the transformative impact of micro-credentials certifications in higher education. These compelling discussions fostered dialogues that are intended to spur innovation in the educational sector, fostering an environment ripe for change.

    Moreover, engaging panel sessions featured insights from 2023 champions and representative from higher educational institutions such as Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL), Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) Campus Pagoh and KLMUC, delving into the exceptional achievements attained through Micro-Credentials, offering valuable perspectives from the champions’ past experiences in the competition as well as in representing Malaysia on the world stage. Additionally, the panelists from educational institutions will unveil and articulate the best practices of the micro-credentials program at the national level. This initiative goes beyond simply upskilling talents; it aims to empower digital skills, enhancing international marketability.

    Furthermore, the event paved the way for Malaysian youth talents to embark on an international journey in showcasing their digital creative talents.

  • Sony Electronics and The Associated Press Have Completed Testing of Advanced In-Camera Authenticity Technology to Address Growing Concerns About Counterfeit Imagery

    New In-Camera Signature Solution Attaches Digital Certificate to Photos at the Point of Capture to Certify Legitimacy

    Sony Electronics today announced the completion of a second round of testing with the Associated Press for Sony’s in-camera authenticity technology. This in-camera digital signature enables the construction of a birth certificate for photos, authenticating the content’s origin.

    Sony’s authenticity technology provides a machine-based digital signature, removing the opportunity for undetected manipulation at the start. The digital signature is made inside the camera at the moment of capture in the hardware chipset. This security feature is aimed at professionals wanting to safeguard the authenticity of their content and provides an extra layer of security to aid news agencies in their fight against falsified imagery.

    “While the rapid evolution of generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) brings new possibilities for creative expression, it has also led to growing concern about the impact of altered or manipulated imagery in journalism,” says Neal Manowitz, President and COO of Sony Electronics. “The dissemination of false information and images has real world social impact that brings harm not only to our photojournalist and news agency partners, but to society as a whole. We care deeply about this challenge and are committed to using our resources to help solve it. Through Sony’s work on the steering committee for C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity), we have helped set the current industry standard for the tracking of editing and manipulation of imagery. Additionally, our in-camera authenticity technology has shown valuable results, and we will continue to push its development towards a wider release.”

    “Fake and manipulated images are a major concern for news organizations. Not only do they contribute to mis- and disinformation but ultimately, they erode the public’s trust in factual, accurate imagery,” said David Ake, AP Director of Photography. “We are proud to be working alongside Sony Electronics to create an authentication solution that can help combat this problem.”

    Sony and AP’s most recent field test was completed during October of 2023. In this month-long test, both capture authentication and workflow process were evaluated. To accomplish this, Sony partnered with Camera Bits – the company behind the industry standard workflow tool, Photo Mechanic. Alongside Sony and AP, Camera Bits created technology in Photo Mechanic that preserves the camera’s digital signature all the way through the metadata editing process.

    “We appreciate the significant challenge that manipulated imagery poses for our partners, and we are highly motivated to play a role in helping solve it,” says Dennis Walker, President and Founder of Camera Bits. “Photo Mechanic has been used by the photojournalism industry for 25 years and continues to evolve as the industry introduces new technology. We are committed to ensuring Photo Mechanic remains a trusted and authentic workflow solution.”

    Sony’s new in-camera signature and C2PA authentication is planned for release in a firmware update in the newly announced Alpha 9 III, Alpha 1, and Alpha 7S III in the Spring of 2024.

    Sony today unveiled the revolutionary new Alpha 9 III camera, which features the world’s first1 full-frame global shutter picture sensor. 

    The impressive new global shutter full-frame image sensor enables the camera to shoot at burst speeds at up to 120 fps with no distortion or camera blackout.  By combining this innovative sensor with Sony’s most advanced AF system to date – boasting AI autofocus with up to 120 times AF/AE focus calculations per second – as well as the ability to sync flash at all shooting speeds, the Alpha 9 III opens up a new world of possibilities for professional photographers to capture that decisive moment.

    Up to 120 AF/AE tracking calculations per second

    Features of the Alpha 9 III

    A new dimension of still image performance created by the world’s first1 global shutter image sensor

    The new Alpha 9 III is equipped with a newly developed world’s first1 global shutter full frame stacked CMOS image sensor with approximately 24.6 effective megapixels and built-in memory, combined with the latest image processing engine BIONZ XR®. It achieves blackout-free Continuous Shooting Speed with AF/AE tracking of up to approximately 120 frames per second4. The new Alpha 9 III is equipped with high-density focal plane phase detection AF. A Designated AI processing unit uses Real-time Recognition AF (autofocus) to recognise a wide variety of subjects with high precision. By combining high-speed performance of up to 120 frames per second with highly accurate subject recognition performance, it is possible to easily photograph decisive scenes and moments that cannot be captured with the naked eye4.  The AI processing unit in the Alpha 9 III supports movies as well as stills with accurate subject form and movement recognition, providing a significant improvement in human eye recognition performance with Real-time Recognition AF and Real-time Tracking automatically recognising, tracking, and focusing on the eyes of a specified subject.

    Shutter speed is freed from the limitations of conventional mechanical shutter image sensors and achieves a maximum shutter speed of 1/80000 second (1/16000 second during continuous shooting), making it possible to capture at high speed without any distortion. When a compatible Sony flash is attached, such as the HVL-F60RM2 and HVL-F46RM (sold separately), it is possible to synchronise the flash and take pictures at all shutter speeds up to 1/80000 second8. Previously, if the user released the shutter at a speed faster than the flash’s synchronisation speed, the amount of light would drop sharply, but with the full-speed flash synchronisation function, it’s now possible to photograph scenes that could not be easily captured with conventional technology. Also, when shooting stills or movies under LED lighting, the Hi Frequency Flicker function can significantly reduce high-frequency flicker problems by allowing the shutter speed to be finely adjusted to match the flicker frequency while viewing the monitor.

    Ultra-fast 1/8000013 second shutter speed

    Flash sync at all shutter speeds

    The Alpha 9 III features selectable release lag modes which allows the user to prioritise release lag or viewfinder/monitor display. The newly installed Pre-Capture function allows the user to go back up to 1 second and record the moment before pressing the shutter, a Continuous Shooting Speed Boost change during shooting, and enhanced burst stamina ensures that important moments are reliably captured due to a large buffer memory and increased overall system speed allow up to approximately 390 Fine JPEG images to be captured in one continuous 30 fps burst.

    Capture essential moments with innovative high-speed burst support

    Customisable focus areas have been expanded to include from XS to XL instead of the previous S, M, and L sizes. The Preset Focus/Zoom function allows preset focus and zoom settings to be memorised in the camera for quick recall when needed. In addition to the existing custom white balance frame size, the user can now select other sizes as needed which allows for fine white balance adjustment after an image has been composed. The Alpha 9 III has upgraded features such as the latest AF algorithms to achieve high AF precision down to light levels as low as EV-5 in AF-S mode (ISO 100 equivalent, F2.0 lens), AF tracking for continuous shooting at F22 and a composite RAW shooting function that gives the ability to combine multiple consecutive images into a high-quality composite.

  • Sony Introduces Three Wireless Microphones with Superior Sound Quality, Lightweight Design, and Unrivaled Portability

    Sony expands its microphone line with the ECM-W3 and ECM-W3S wireless microphones, as well as the ECM-S1 wireless streaming microphone. These innovative microphones combine high-quality sound capture with a compact design. Sony’s ECM-W3, ECM-W3S, and ECM-S1 models enable video content makers to obtain exceptional audio recording in a variety of shooting settings.

    The ECM-W3 has a two-channel receiver and two microphones and the ECM-W3S has a one-channel receiver and one microphone. Both the ECM-W3 and ECM-W3S are perfect for video content creators who work in a wide range of shooting scenarios such as Vlogs and interviews, where it allows you to easily record high-quality voices even when you are shooting away from the camera.

    The ECM-W3 wireless microphone is an ideal solution for interviews and one-on-one conversations and the ECM-W3S microphone excels in capturing clear and articulate user voices for vloggers and video contents creators with a focus on delivering a natural organic sound. These microphones ensure exceptional sound pickup while effectively reducing noise. In addition to Multi-Interface (MI) Shoe compatibility with Sony cameras, compatibility is further enhanced through a USB Type-C® terminal and 3.5mm audio output which enables connections with a range of devices equipped with USB terminal and 3.5mm audio input such as cameras, smartphone, and PC etc. The microphone also comes equipped with a convenient charging case, allowing for hassle-free portability.

    For professional videographers and video content creators who require top-notch audio quality for shoots, livestreams, and podcasts, the ECM-S1 microphone is the ultimate tool. The microphone has a compact and lightweight body and is equipped with three 14 mm large-diameter capsules tuned to capture human voices naturally and with high-quality sound. Its seamless connection to cameras, computers, and smartphones makes an indispensable asset for content creators seeking a dynamic and engaging audio-video experience. As audio is recorded directly to the camera via a wireless connection, “sound and video lag” that sometimes occurs when sound and video are input separately to a distribution device during live streaming does not occur, thus delay compensation is not required.

    Sony’s ECM-W3, ECM-W3S, and ECM-S1 microphones embody the brand’s commitment to innovation and excellence. With these new offerings, Sony continues to push the boundaries of audio technology, empowering creators to achieve remarkable sound quality across various content creation avenues.

    Main features of the “ECM-W3” and “ECM-W3S” wireless microphones

    Achieves high-quality sound pickup with reduced noise

    The ECM-W3 consists of a receiver and two microphones, and the ECM-W3S consists of a receiver and one microphone. By designing with sound quality in mind, Sony has achieved high-quality sound pickup with reduced noise.

    Equipped with a noise-cut filter that effectively reduces harsh noise with digital signal processing, and a low-cut filter that reduces unwanted low-frequency noise such as wind, air conditioning, and vibration noise. In addition, the included windscreen reduces the noise generated when strong wind or breath hits the microphone, making it possible to record clear audio with interference from the ambient environment. Working together, the filters and windscreen results in less noise removal processing during post-production.

    When connected to a Sony camera equipped with the Multi-Interface (MI) shoe, the ECM-W3 and ECM-W3S receiver is compatible with a digital audio interface, and the camera can then directly record the audio signal output. This enables superb sound recording with minimal noise interference. In addition, it is equipped with a safety function that suppresses sound distortion at high volumes, and an attenuator function that manually reduces the sound during high-volume recording. Both the “ECM-W3” and “ECM-W3S” deliver low power consumption, low latency, and high sound quality with Bluetooth 5.3 (Bluetooth Low Energy) and LC3Plus codec.

    Enhanced convenience through versatile connectivity

    MI Shoe support enables greater flexibility with battery-free and cable-free shooting. Power is supplied directly from the camera to the receiver, so there is no need to worry about running out of battery. It also has a USB Type-C® terminal, so it is possible to output digital audio (48kHz/24bit) from the receiver to a USB-connected smartphone or PC. In addition, it is equipped with a 3.5mm mini jack (stereo) audio output terminal, ensuring compatibility with cameras, PCs, IC recorders, etc., that do not have an MI shoe. In addition, a terminal protection holder/stand for the multi-interface foot is included and can be used as a microphone stand when attaching the receiver to equipment other than a camera or attached to a smartphone clamp as an adapter with screw holes.

    Additionally, the microphone is equipped with a 3.5mm mini jack (monaural) which can be used as an external microphone input terminal. It can be used in combination with a lavalier microphone such as ECM-LV1, you are able to pick-up the subject’s voice while the microphone is hidden from view. The rechargeable microphone can be used continuously for up to 6 hours on a full charge.

    Compact and lightweight, high portability with charging case included

    The compact and lightweight microphone’s dimensions are 25.0mm x 52.5mm x 20.5mm (W/H/D) and weighs only 17g. The receiver is 32.0mm x 29.0mm x 50.0mm (W/H/D) and weighs 25g. Both the microphones and receivers can be used anywhere, anytime with ease. For added durability, the ECM-W3 and ECM-W3S are designed to be dustproof and moisture proof, which allows for worry-free outdoor usage.

    In addition, the lightweight and portable charging case makes it possible to charge while on the move.

    Main features of the wireless/streaming microphone “ECM-S1”

    High-quality sound pickup performance and synchronization of sound and video by connecting to a camera

    The ECM-S1 is equipped with three large-diameter (14mm) capsules that corresponds to three sound pickup modes: Uni-directional, Omni-directional and Stereo, providing high-quality sound pickup with high sensitivity, and wide frequency characteristics. The microphone’s intrinsic low noise levels and wide dynamic range allows for clear recording of even the softest sounds.

    By tuning it to record human voices naturally and clearly, the microphone can capture realistic and rich textured sound during recording that is unique to streaming microphones. It also has a noise cut filter that effectively removes harsh noise through digital signal processing, and a low-cut filter that reduces unnecessary low-frequency noise such as wind, air conditioning, and vibration, thus reducing the effects of the surrounding environment. The ECM-S1 has a full range of functions that reduce noise and support high-quality sound pickup.

    A new sound pickup style with a compact, lightweight housing and versatile connectivity

    The ECM-S1 microphone is light, weighing just 157g, and compact at 63.0 mm x 137.5 mm x 63.0 mm(W/H/D) with an ultra-light and compact receiver that weighs 25g at 32 mm x 29 mm x 50 mm (W/H/D). The Bluetooth 5.3 (Bluetooth Low Energy) and LC3plus codec deliver low power consumption, low latency, and high sound quality. Using wireless connection allows for a recording style that remains unaffected by environmental conditions. You can also achieve a new level of sound pickup, enabling talks and singing accompanied by musical instruments to be recorded in high sound quality.

    For connectivity, the receiver can be attached to a compatible camera via it’s MI Shoe. The microphone and receiver are equipped with USB Type-C® terminals that support 48 kHz/24-bit digital audio output. As a result, the microphone can record high quality sound in a variety of ways, such as connecting the microphone wirelessly to a PC or smartphone via the receiver’s USB or connecting the microphone directly to a PC or smartphone via USB. The receiver also has a 3.5mm mini jack (stereo) as an audio output terminal.

    High operability that meets the needs of diverse creators

    The microphone is equipped with an independent dial that adjusts the sound recording level. The ECM-S1’s audio input level volume can also be adjusted intuitively with the upper dial while checking the audio input level in real time with the indicator lamps. The built-in LINK lamp indicates the communication status between the microphone and receiver to prevent any missed recording.

    When recording via a USB connection between the microphone and a PC or smartphone, headphones (commercially available) can be connected to the microphone’s headphone out jack to monitor the audio without involving the connected device. The headphone volume can also be adjusted with a short press of the dial on the bottom of the microphone. You can adjust the audio mixing ratio between the input volume level of the audio from the microphone and that of the audio from the computer or smartphone via the USB connection with the headphone volume/mixing ratio adjustment dial on the microphone.

    The ECM-S1 and receiver each have a built-in battery for extended use. The receiver can also be used continuously with the support of direct power supply when connected to the camera’s MI Shoe or a USB Type-C® cable. The microphone can be used continuously for up to 13 hours when the battery is fully charged using a USB Type-C® cable.

    In addition, a pop guard reduces popping noises that occurs when the speaker’s mouth is close to the microphone and their breath comes into direct contact with the microphone. This enables vocals, narration, and other audio to be recorded under optimal conditions. A stand that can be attached to the microphone is also included, allowing the microphone to stand without support while recording. The microphone angle can also be adjusted forward or backward. Alternatively, the stand can be removed when not in use and the 1/4” thread on the bottom of the microphone allows it to be mounted on a tripod or attached to a commercially available microphone arm.

    Availability

    The ECM-S1, ECM-W3 and ECM-W3S wireless microphones will be available in Malaysia from November 2023.
