Lens Encoding Made Easy
The FIZ{Logger} is a small electronic device placed on a camera that digitizes, transmits, stores and displays lens information. Originally developed to provide real-time streaming camera and lens data for use in Virtual Production Augmented Reality "Simulcam" systems, the FIZ{Logger} is camera and lens agnostic. The FIZ{Logger} will capture Focus, Iris, and Zoom data from any Cine Style or ENG lens on the market and is compatible with common lens control systems such as the Preston or CMotion. Each kit also comes with encoders for hand controlled lens data capture.
KEY FEATURES:
-
When using the FIZ{Logger}, there is no need for a specialty encoded lens or non-standard Lens Control Systems.
-
Logs Focus, Iris, Zoom Lens Metadata as well as PAN, ROLL and TILT with an internal 9 axis IMU.
-
Lens and IMU Information is broadcast via Wifi or Ethernet and logged per frame to common SD cards.
-
Lens calibration via Onboard OLED interface or wirelessly with iOS app.
-
Optional configurations enable remote control and paint operation of Sony or JVC ENG style cameras using a web interface.
-
Import Lens data directly into any camera tracking software... NUKE, PFTrack, Maya, and more....
The only metadata capture solution that works for every Lens.
