Meridiano Television, the network Venezuela's largest terrestrial sports television, recently selected the XA101x8.9BESM HD zoom lens from Fujinon. In its first presentation at the end of March, the lens was used during the Copa Libertadores, a competition international football, for Fox Sports. Meridian plans use the lens in all upcoming events, including the Caribbean World Series, which pits teams from the Republic against each other Dominican Republic, Mexico, Venezuela and Puerto Rico.
The HD XA101x will be used to capture the extensive coverage by the chain of sporting events such as baseball, football, tennis, between other. This lens allows us to capture the game from an angle closer and more detailed, said Iñaki Aznar, Manager of Engineering of Meridiano Televisión. Helps us create a much more vibrant transmission, full of shots than we've ever done before. Our team selections are very important and we only buy what we really think is going to improve our transmissions. We are already excited about the comments we have received from the collaborators and viewers.
95% of Meridian lenses are of Fujinon. At the moment they also have two ENG telephotos AH50X9.5ESM, three A20x8.6 EFP lenses and one CPT-70 system pan/tilt.
The XA101x8.9BESM HD zoom offers 101x magnification and image stabilization. It has the most wide angle of any high magnification lens for sports, making it ideal for 16:9 screen width shots HD as well as for 4:3 high definition images. The HD XA101x8.9BESM includes the exclusive optical stabilization system OS-Tech developed by the company for constant capture and diaphanous of the image, while the system of removal of Fujinon humidity will keep the lens operating even under the more difficult conditions.
Multiple movement groups of Zoom designed inside the HD XA101x8.9BESM lens minimize optical aberrations and field curvatures while reducing the overall size and weight of the lens.
