Digi Power
With broadcasting technology rapidly converting to digital, Fujinon has developed
a new digital servo control system, DIGI POWER, to enhance the performance of its
zoom lenses. State-of-the-art components including a 32-bit RISC processor in the
lens, a CPU in each servo demand, optical encoders and high-speed serial communication
devices, together with the newly developed digital control circuit, provide 13-bit
accuracy in zoom and focus control as well as a variety of new functions.
An RS232 connector in the lens provides a connection between the lens and a PC,
or other control device, for external control. This function has made it possible
to control the lens functions with the high degree of accuracy and reliability needed
for virtual studio and other robotic applications, and to raise the level for all
production environments.
