Renewed precision lens
The third generation of its precision focus lens will be one of the novelties that Fujinon will present at NAB Show 2011. This equipment has a better focus response, less light loss and is small in size.
The accuracy of the focusing system adopts a contrast method that uses the differences in the length of the optical path. It can be mounted on any 2/3" camera.
The PF function is integrated into the lens and can be in operation with the lens mounted on a 2/3" camera without the need for additional configuration or optional devices.
When the PF lens is mounted on a camera, a focus area is displayed in the viewfinder. The size and position of the focus area can be changed at the discretion of the camera operator. This function allows greater flexibility in the selection of the focus area depending on the type of production.
One of the advantages that the lens offers to the operator is that he can concentrate on the formulation of the vaccine, knowing that the topic will be in the perfect approach. It is especially effective when focusing is difficult, as when the camera is in a very low or a high position.
Professional video climber
Atlona will take advantage of the fair to present the AT-LINE-PRO4, a professional-quality 10-input video climber that allows four HDMI / DVI, three VGA, one S-Video, a composite video input to be climbed and a single HDMI output.

Union to produce camera
Three companies, two North American and the other from Hong Kong, Manfrotto Distribution, Alister Chapman and Genus, teamed up to produce the Hurricane 3D platform video camera.
The camera was designed from the beginning 3D with the mirror platform system. These are the most versatile type of stereoscopic 3D camera platforms available today.
They can be used in an extremely wide range of 3D applications. However, traditionally they have been very expensive devices only made of small volumes or by special order.
In order to keep the costs down the platform does not feature the electronic controls often found on high-end 3D platforms. Instead, the equipment has manual control of alignment and adjustment.
The use of manual controls makes the equipment especially suitable for users for educational purposes, training centers and experimenters, as they are easy to operate and easy to understand.
Its weight is 6 kg. Most of those currently available professional 3D platforms weigh more than 10 kg.
Multichannel Media ServerHarmonic introduced Omneon Spectrum MediaCenter, a new multi-channel media server with low cost of integrated storage.

Control program
The latest version of the control software to integrate, create, launch, and control program commands to any number of screens, projectors, and TVs via RF from a network coaxial cable installation, will be unveiled in April in Las Vegas by
Contemporary Research.
Previously, system administrators had access to everything, system settings, creating preset control, scheduling and emergency alerts – and a central control panel.
Each Display Express user can now access the display control server only with the assigned password. With this innovation, more people can have defined access to the exhibition control network.
This software serves as a utility now that there is an explosion of Internet-enabled phones and tablets that open access for everyone. With the addition of personal pages, assignable to web control, more people can take control without adding expensive custom panels or hardware.
Thus, tour guides can demonstrate some features of their iPhones, corporate managers can usually change the sources of news and information on the fly of their desktop, all without touching the primary care system pages, schedule, or features.
