A portable lens joins the Duvo series, which produces cinematic looks with beautiful bokeh and the ease of broadcast lens operation. TOKYO, September 7, 2023 – FUJIFILM Corporation (President and CEO, Representative Director: Teiichi Goto) has developed the portable-type broadcast zoom lens “FUJINON Duvo24-300mm”, the second lens model in the Duvo series, which produces the highly desirable cinematic look with beautiful bokeh and broadcast lens operation.  Duvo24-300 isa dual format lens, supporting two types of large image sensors*2. It produces cinematic visual expressions featuring shallow depth-of-field and beautiful bokeh. The new addition of a compact and lightweight portable lens to the Duvo Lineup will produce high mobility in live coverage of sporting events, music concerts, documentary, and wildlife cinematography. The “FUJINON Duvo24-300mm” is due to be released in the spring of 2024.

[FUJINON Duvo24-300mm]

Today, in the broadcast industry, cameras equipped with a large image sensor are increasingly used, amidst the growing needs for immersive cinematic expressions involving the use of shallow depth of field, bokeh and high dynamic range. Currently, cinema lenses are commonly used for those applications, however, they are optimized for shooting scripted production, and therefore have a smaller zoom magnification ratio than that of broadcast lenses. They also often require a specialist in focus operations, which is uncommon in the broadcast industry. The new “FUJINON Duvo24-300mm” is the first portable-type broadcast zoom lens in the “Duvo series”. Delivering12.5x zoom covering 24-300mm, a focal range that is frequently used on set, it achieves compact size and is lightweight at 270.5mm in length and 2.95kgin weight. Its compact and lightweight design will produce high mobility in all types of live production, including sporting events and music concerts. Also, the lens can be operated in the same style as a broadcast lens using zoom and focus demands, additionally it can also be used with a variety of accessories*3. Since it’s a portable-type lens, the new lens can be utilized for not only shoulder-mounted operation, but also using a steadicam*4 or high-angle shooting using a crane. Fujifilm plans to showcase “FUJINON Duvo-300mm” and the third Duvo, “Duvo Wide” a wide zoom lens covering the focal length of14-100mm, at the IBC2023, international broadcast equipment show to be held in Amsterdam, Netherlands from September 15 to 18, 2023.   Fujifilm will leverage its advanced optical technology, nurtured over many decades, to develop and supply high-performance broadcast lenses, cinema camera lenses and accessories, addressing the evolving needs of frontline video professionals. 1 The nickname may not be used in some countries/regions. 2 Super 35mm sensor and a full-frame sensor, with the 1.5x expander engaged 3 Limited to accessories specifically designed for a portable-type FUJINON broadcast lenses. 4 Equipment for shooting stable video, which reduces unwanted movement that can occur when shooting handheld video. Development name Broadcast zoom lens “FUJINON Duvo24-300mm”(Nickname: Duvo Portable)

Atomos Announces New Ninja Series

 The industry-leading ProRes monitor-recorder just goes from strength to strength

Melbourne, Australia – 14^th August 2023– Atomos has announced the latest generation of its hugely successful Ninja line of camera-mounted monitor-recorders: Ninja and Ninja Ultra.

The original Ninja rocked the world when it was introduced in 2010, combining an HD disk recorder with a touchscreen monitor you could hold in your hand. It captured pristine, uncompressed video direct from the first generation of DSLRs straight onto a removable SSD.

The latest Ninja base model handles video sources up to nine times that resolution, has a 5-inch HDR screen, records ProRes RAW, and connects to almost every camera in the world. Little wonder “Atomos” is now in the vocabulary of almost every filmmaker.

A key component of both new Ninja models is the completely overhauled operating system, AtomOS 11. Cleaner, fresher and faster, thanks to hardware performance optimized for AtomOS 11, it delivers a host of new features too, including EL Zone exposure referenced colorized image, ARRI False Color, and new scheduled playback & recording tools.

Both models sport a distinctive ‘camo’ color polycarbonate body and now include more codecs as standard: 6K ProRes RAW, ProRes, DNxHD as well as H.265, which was previously available as a paid option.

While the Ninja is targeted primarily at owners of DSLR and mirrorless cameras, Ninja Ultra is built to get the most out of camera to cloud technology and leans into cinematic workflows with Atomos Connect. It can record full-quality files to ProRes RAW up to 4K 60p while at the same time recording HD 60p to H.265, and supports automatic matching filenames, timecode and record from ARRI, Canon and RED cameras. More cameras will be supported very soon.

Ninja Ultra’s new 4K camera to cloud mode lets you record and upload much higher quality bitrate H.265 video with higher framerates. H.265 files are half the size of H.264 media. They’re small enough for camera to cloud workflows but more than good enough for immediate use on social media, sports reporting or news gathering.

Adding an Atomos Connect expansion module to either a Ninja or a Ninja Ultra enables Atomos RemoteView - a brand new technology that lets you share live views from your Atomos screen with other Atomos monitors, as well as with iPads, Macs and Apple TVs wirelessly. You can monitor what’s happening on-set and look through any connected camera taking the shot, from anywhere in the world. RemoteView is a total game-changer for remote production, offering many new features never seen before.

For Ninja Ultra only, the Atomos Connect module provides a lower latency, higher throughput and more stable connection with Wi-Fi 6E. Once again, Atomos is leading the way by incorporating this cutting-edge Wi-Fi standard into its cloud-enabled products.

Both Ninjas are backwards-compatible with their predecessors, Ninja V and Ninja V+, so all Atomos and third-party accessories can be used with the new products.

“While we continue to innovate, we continue to listen to our customers too,” said Trevor Elbourne, CEO of Atomos. “Ninja remains the go-to ProRes monitor-recorder for individual content creators and freelancers, but with even more functionality. If cloud connectivity is not your priority right now, that’s no problem at all - you can just add that option further down the road as your business dictates.”

“Ninja Ultra, on the other hand, has been tuned for cinematic workflows as well as the cloud, although we strongly recommend that it’s paired with the Atomos Connect module to maximize its potential for studios and broadcast facilities. The addition of dual recording in 4Kp60 ProRes RAW and H.265 has been the most requested feature since we introduced cloud-enabled products last year.”

Both Ninja and Ninja Ultra will be shipping from early September 2023, priced at $599/€599 and $799/€799 respectively, excluding local sales taxes. You can see them both at IBC, Amsterdam on the Atomos booth (11.D25).
