Feed accurate lens tracking data to the Unreal Engine for virtual production using the REtracker Fizz Lens FIZ Reader. This compact box provides an interface between your servo lens and the Unreal Engine to pass focus, iris, and zoom (FIZ) lens data for virtual reality productions. It supports servo lenses such as Canon and Fujinon with 20-pin connectors with 16-bit encoders, Canon lenses with 5-pin LEMO serial connectors, as well as Cooke and Zeiss lenses that provide /i lens data. It works with the separately available Bliss camera tracker, and it is also compatible with all other virtual tracking systems.
The box connects to your computer for setup with the Fizz software to set it up on a network using the LAN port. A bright display on the side of the box shows the focus, iris, and zoom lens data. The unit is powered using a USB cable, or you can utilize a separately available PoE splitter to power the unit via Ethernet. The Fizz connects via the 7-pin LEMO port to a Tilta Nucleus NANO II or Nucleus-M hand unit for calibration, and then it connects via IP for integration into your Unreal Engine software, providing lens mapping using the Free-D protocol. It can also connect to the Bliss tracker camera using an optional cable.
An optional genlock add-on is available separately to add genlock compatibility for additional virtual engines such as VizRT, Brainstorm3D, Assimilate LiveFX, and more.
