CES 2012 is seeing a flood of new and updated products including Canon’s new line of VIXIA HD camcorders. The new line includes three compact VIXIA HF M-series models, the HF M52, HF M50 and HF M500 as well as three entry-level VIXIA HF R-series, the HF R32, HF R30 and HF R300, which Canon says improvements to functions and features, like a newly designed HD CMOS Pro image sensor, have been made. To help get your social media fix in, WiFi connectivity and DLNA compatibility has been stuffed in.
Video capture in MP4 is now an option and with the WiFi connectivity videos can be directly unloaded to YouTube and Facebook or mobile devices in a snap.
If you missed day one of live broadcasting on YouTube, like I did, you can still catch some of it today.
YouTube is experimenting with live broadcasting and has recruited select partners to participate. YouTube says depending on how things go, Live on YouTube could roll out more broadly, but for now YouTube the live streaming platform is purely trial.
Beginning at 7:30am pst today YouTube will crank up live broadcasting again. Hit the schedule above to find something to watch.
What’s the resolution of your monitor? A lot less than 4092 x 3072 pixels, eh? Because that’s what you need to take advantage of the full 4K resolution now supported by YouTube. However, many users appear to be unimpressed with the low bitrate (around 6500kbps) for the 4K resolution. And, I’ll have to agree, it looks pretty darn crummy, even at my rather humble 1680 x 1050 monitor resolution.
You can chew on some of the 4K videos already on YouTube here.
We all expected that Disney’s purchase of Marvel would lead to more kid-friendly movies, but this is out of control…
The Iron Baby trailer is making its way around the Internet this week, but the short film’s director, Patrick Boivin, has a lot more talent up his sleeve.
I frequently upload videos to YouTube for cameras and other gadgets here at Tech Tilt, as well as Photography Bay. The above video is intended to demonstrate the high-speed frame rate of the new Nikon P100 superzoom camera. This produces a cool slow motion effect. YouTube thinks it is not family safe content.

Didn’t catch the iPad keynote? Here’s a hilarious condensed version that sums up what Steve Jobs and the other Apple cronies think about the new gadget, all pulled from the iPad keynote.
Chalk this up in the “amazing” category. This is one of those things on the Internet that sneaks in quietly, but the significance continues to grow and shape the web for years to come.
Google uses the same algorithm that it uses to translate voice mails in Google Voice. (What? You didn’t know about that? It’s wicked.) While it’s not perfect every time. It’s miles ahead of what was previously available.
Think about it. By throwing a switch, Google just made YouTube so very relevant to the entire world’s deaf population. (It’s only on certain channels now, but it should be everywhere soon.)
Did I mention that the new feature is also capable of translating the captions in any of 51 languages? Smell the significance now?
