ZEISS CZ.2 Lenses
Delivering large image circle and universal usability:
The Compact Prime CP.3 and Cinema Zoom CZ.2
lens families by ZEISS...

W

ith the emergence and proliferation
of digital cinema cameras with large
sensors, the demand for corresponding
interchangeable lenses has also seen a sharp
increase.
Yet not all of them fit and satisfy the
requirements of the large sensors that require
lenses with the ability to project a larger field
of view. With the ZEISS Compact Prime CP.3
and Compact Zoom CZ.2 families of lenses,
in addition to the recently announced ZEISS
Supreme Primes, ZEISS offers a universal
solution in this regard.
The ZEISS CP.3 Compact Prime lenses are
available in a total of 10 fixed focal lengths
ranging from 15mm to 135mm, and the
ZEISS Cinema Zoom CZ.2 zoom lenses are
available in three zoom ranges of 15-30mm,
28-80mm, and 70-200mm. These lenses
are available with the five most common
mounts for motion picture cameras (PL, EF,
E, F & MFT) and offer full-frame (36 x 24mm)
coverage of the image circle. This means
they can be used with almost every digital
camera with a large chip; for example, the

newest film cameras introduced at 2018's
NAB Show like the Sony VENICE, ARRI
ALEXA LF, Canon C700 FF or RED
MONSTRO, as well as a
number of traditional
movie cameras.
The three Cinema
Zoom CZ.2 lenses
feature a modern lens
design. Out of all the
compact zoom lenses
in the market, the three
CZ.2 lens models with
focal lengths from 15mm
to 200mm cover one of
the most extensive focal
length ranges. Thanks
to separate components
for zoom and focus, ZEISS
eliminated bouncing and focus
changes while zooming. With
each model weighing about 2.6kg
(5 to 6lbs) and having a front diameter of
95mm (CZ.2 28-80 and 70-200) and 114mm
(CZ.2 15-30), they are relatively easy to

handle, have standardised gear
and scales, and are equally
well-suited for more demanding
production jobs as the CP.3 prime
lenses. ZEISS also guarantees
that colours match with its Compact
Prime lenses. Also, at this point in time,
the ZEISS Cinema Zooms are the fastest
zoom lenses available for full frame sensor
coverage, with a wide-open T-stop of T2.9.
Overall, ZEISS offers an extremely

Going Solo with LiveU
Cellular bonding, pioneered by LiveU, has transformed the way that content
is acquired in the field for broadcasters around the world...

T

he inherent mobility, cost-effectiveness
and the ability to be used when other
technologies can't, has changed the news
dynamic, and increasingly, the sports
broadcasting market.
But it's not only about broadcasters. With
the introduction of Solo, LiveU brought its
technological prowess to the online live
streaming market. A plug-and-play solution,
LiveU Solo allows users to stream directly
to any leading social platform simply by

LiveU Solo appeals to the online live streaming market

connecting a Solo unit to a camera,
logging into the web-based Solo
portal to select a streaming
destination and then going live.
With the huge growth in popularity
of the likes of Facebook Live and
YouTube Live, Solo brings real
video quality to the market at an
affordable price.
The secret is in LiveU's reliable
transport protocol and patented
cellular
bonding
that
creates a single, super
robust connection and dynamically
adapts the video quality to changing
conditions so users never, ever lose
a stream and always stream with
the best possible quality. The LiveU
Solo wireless streaming encoder
uses this same broadcast technology
but in an easy-to-use product. This
ensures audiences enjoy the best
video experience even when users
are streaming from places where

the bandwidth is limited by location, network
congestion or simply cost.
Of course, since the launch, we have
continued to develop services around it, not
least Solo Cloud Graphics. This lets users
dynamically brand their online and social
content by adding titles, logos, scoreboards
and more to the live stream. By picking a
template from a pre-defined library of widgets
and graphic compositions or by creating one

comprehensive range of lenses with complete
coverage of the full-frame image circle
with interchangeable mounts for almost
every motion picture camera available on
the market today. This all-round usability
means that ZEISS lenses are a safe, futureproof investment in case you should want to
upgrade later to a new generation of camera
sensors.

of their own, graphics can be added and
edited in real time. Users can enhance their
branding by adding their logo to the live
stream or they can monetise live feeds by
inserting sponsors' logos.
The service integrates naturally into the
Solo Portal. Solo users can significantly
accelerate their streaming setup
time, using a single web-based
interface to manage both live
stream parameters (destination,
delay, resolution, etc.) as well as
the associated graphic overlay.
As an example of the popularity
of Solo, Mudu, China's largest
live video platform service
provider
for
the
enterprise
market, ordered multiple units.
Mudu supplies Solo units to its
broad enterprise customer base,
including photographers, large media groups'
subsidiaries, and telecom, mobile and internet
service providers. Mudu offers its customers
a dedicated Solo portal for the Chinese
market building on its existing support for
China's top social media and online video
platforms, such as Youku, WeChat, Weibo,
and DingDing.
LiveU's full product portfolio is on display at
stand at 6J4-01.
