Detachable Servo Unit for FUJINON Premier PL 25-300mm Cabrio Zoom Making U.S. Debut at CCW/SATCON
Wayne, N.J. – First shown at the International Broadcasters Conference in Amsterdam in September, a detachable drive unit for FUJINON's 4K Premier PL 25-300mm Cabrio [ZK12x25 zoom lens will make its U.S. debut at CCW/SATCON in New York City on November 12-13. The FUJINON 25-300 Servo Unit is an optional onboard unit for remote control of the zoom, focus and iris adjustment on the 25-300mm Cabrio. It provides for quick and smooth zooms, reframing, focus and iris controls. The Optical Devices Division of FUJIFILM North America Corporation will exhibit in Booth #958 during CCW/SATCON.
"This drive has all the advantages and features of the other Cabrio lens drives," said Thom Calabro, director of Marketing and Product Development for the Optical Division of FUJIFILM. "The optional drive removes the need for external, rod-mounted motors which can take time to line up accurately or can slip if they are not tightened properly. This drive unit comes off quickly and is very easy to put back on."
The 25-300mm self-calibrates quickly when powered up. Lens metadata is supplied through the Cabrio's 20-pin serial connector or the contacts in the lens mount. The lens supports Lens Data System (LDS) and /i Technology metadata formats.
It can be used as a self-contained ENG-style or cine style lens. When used without the drive, it can be controlled using cinema industry standard wireless controllers as well as existing FUJINON wired and wireless units.
Equipped with a 35mm PL mount, the PL 25-300mm boasts a high zoom ratio covering the focal length of 25mm to 300mm. Designed using the latest proprietary optical simulation software, the PL 25-300mm offers exceptional optical performance in the center of the image and in the corners of the frame. The digital servo's 16-bit encoding assures operators that all lens data output—including the position of the zoom, iris, and focus—is extremely accurate.
The PL 25-300mm lens is the latest in the company's popular Cabrio series, which includes the Premier PL 19-90mm, the PL 85-300mm, and the recently introduced PL 14-35mm lenses.
JVC Professional (Booth #1117), Sony Electronics (Booth #1101), and Hitachi Kokusai Electric (Booth #860) will also have FUJINON lenses on their cameras at CCW/SATCON.
