Thanks to all our annual and event sponsors!

Dear PERG Community,

Astera had a fantastic NAB showcasing our latest, including the Award-winning QuikSpot, lauded for its beam quality, zoom, clean cuts, and 4.5-hour max output runtime. The versatile, full-color LunaBulb with CRMX in a standard E26/E27 form factor also wowed attendees.

FUJIFIM

Here's an overview of NAB2025 for Fujifilm:

Sports production was a major topic at the 2025 NAB Show, specifically as it pertains to the evolution of live cinema, and that’s exactly what Fujifilm's presence at the show centered around. 

Fujifilm’s booth—designed to emulate a sports arena – was a top attraction at NAB Show this year, allowing attendees to entrench themselves in a sports production environment, complete with the opportunity to test out an array of lenses in various broadcast and cinema configurations including:

• FUJINON DUVO 25-1000mm cinema box lens mounted to Sony F5500 on the Chapman Olympian Sideline Cart
• FUJINON DUVO 24-300mm mounted to ARRI ALEXA 35 in a typical sideline handheld configuration
• FUJINON Duvo 14-100mm mounted to a Sony BURANO on a Motion Impossible Agito
• FUJINON UA107x8.4BESM AF 4K box lens on a Grass Valley camera featuring Auto Focus
• FUJINON UA125x8BESM 4K UHD box lens mounted to a Sony HDC-5500V showcasing the ability to get shallower depth of field images with Sony’s Variable ND
• FUJINON UA70x8.7BESM 4K box lens mounted to an Ikegami UHK-X700 camera on the Chapman Olympian Sideline Cart
• FUJINON UA24x7.8BERD portable zoom mounted to a Sony Z750 camcorder

Complementing the excitement surrounding sports production, another product responsible for much buzz at NAB 2025 was FUJIFILM GFX ETERNA, the company’s first filmmaking camera. Currently under development and set to launch later this year, the highly anticipated GFX ETERNA made its U.S. debut at NAB 2025, and while it was only shown under glass, that didn’t dull the crowd’s awe or enthusiasm. 

Ending on a high note at the NAB Show Product of the Year Awards ceremony, FUJINON Duvo 14-100mm T2.9-3.9 Portable PL Mount Zoom Lens not only won a Product of the Year Award in the Camera Supports, Controls and Accessories category, but was also selected from nearly 150 Product of the Year winners across 16 categories to receive the singular Top Tech Award – the top prize of the show’s official awards program.

LITEGEAR

Dear PERG Community,

It was great connecting with so many of you at NAB this year. We were excited to introduce LiteTile Spectrum, our latest innovation and the first to feature our new Spectrum Ultra light engine—bringing refined color science, 8x the pixel density, and increased brightness to the LiteTile format. LiteTile Spectrum is also LiteGear’s first weatherproof product, field and bench serviceable, and fully compatible with our LiteDimmer Spectrum AC/DC 200 & 400, and AC 600—offering unmatched versatility for production environments.

We’re extremely proud to be an annual sponsor of PERG, and we will continue to support the Professional Rental community through these challenging times and beyond. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the AICP & PERG Cinco de Mayo Party!
