CalibFX® LENS: UNIVERSAL OPTICS PROFILER FOR CAMERA OPERATORS
Available either into our new CalibFX® Suite, or, as a standalone software license, the workflow implements a straightforward process with complete control of the data at every step, to deliver accurate calibrated lens profiles, in a limited time.
EDIT AND GENERATE ANY ACCURATE LENS PROFILE FOR
Smart recording of lens intrinsics to generate highly accurate lens profiles
CalibFX® Lens has been engineered to provide camera operators with a steadfast solution for processing highly accurate lens mapping that suits any kind of optic, whatever the manufacturer or type of lens: ENG/EFP lens, Cine Prime, Hybrid zoom, Broadcast zoom lens.
Featuring a proven lens mapping process, our software takes advantage of custom-developed “smart” algorithms to generate any individual lens file embedding the key intrinsic parameters of your optic: K1/K2, FOV, focus distance, nodal offset, aperture.
Automated image processing allowing operator to save time and efforts
Thanks to its automated image processing feature, CalibFX® Lens automatically records the lens intrinsic on the entire ranges of zoom/focus of the optic, before recording a three-dimensional calibration object provided as a compiled lens profile.
The software can be operated using any tracking device outputting either the Freed or OpenTrackIO protocol – The camera operator will avoid the risk of possible errors on measurements, while ensuring a steady calibration process: ~30 min on average for any Cine Prime and up to 2H for a typical Broadcast zoom lens.
Full control of your lens profiles for newly edited and pre-calibrated files
Taking into account that many users need to quickly and easily swap their different optics during their live production phase, CalibFX® Lens is the perfect tool to generate all necessary lens profiles during the prep phase, as these will be loaded into the targeted 3D rendering pipeline prior day one of the shooting.
Alternatively, the software can also load any existing lens profile that has been compiled over CalibFX® Lens prior and for a targeted 3D workflow: operator will be able to refine such a lens profile with possibility to re-export it to another compatible engine.
Highest matching precision between your real environment and 3D layers
Whether producing over cyclorama green screen or LED-based XR stage, the overall quality of the lens profile appears key to avoid any possible visual inaccuracies on the 3D rendered layer, thus, especially for typical virtual set extensions for which the edges of the LED surfaces must perfectly match the virtual set.
As critical complement to the camera tracking, CalibFX® Lens helps you achieving a “pixel perfect” matching precision between your real set environment and virtual assets thanks to accurate lens intrinsic measurements being compiled into each profile.
UNIQUE, MULTI-RESOLUTION CALIBRATION TAG BOARD
Whether for any CalibFX® Suite Bundle order, or, in case of a single CalibFX® Lens license purchase, this unique tag board support will be meticulously packaged and provided into its dedicated transport bag.
