Public award description

THE OCOMM BROADCAST CENTER (BC) IS IN NEED OF A LIGHTWEIGHT ENCODED 19-90MM LENS FOR FIELD AND LOCATION VIDEO SHOOTS THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH OUR EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE. THE NEW EQUIPMENT HAS TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH ARRI ALEXA. THE LENS NEEDS TO HAVE A LDS (LENS DATA SYSTEM) AND /I METADATA COMPATIBILITY IS VERY USEFUL WHEN YOU WANT TO RECORD THE POSITION INFORMATION OF ZOOM, IRIS AND FOCUS FOR COMPUTER ANIMATION AND OTHER USES. WITH A DETACHABLE DIGITAL SERVO DRIVE IT WILL HAVE A 16-BIT ENCODING, SO OPERATORS CAN BE ASSURED THAT ALL LENS DATA OUTPUT IS EXTREMELY ACCURATE. THE LENS WILL NEED TO ENABLES TELEPROMPTING SO WE WILL BE ABLE TO CONNECT OUR EXISTING PROMPTING EQUIPMENT TO THE LENS. THE BC WOULD BENEFIT FROM AN ENCODED 19-90MM LENS BECAUSE THIS LENS WOULD BE LESS WEIGHT TO CARRY FOR LOCATION SHOOTS OUR CURRENT LENSES ARE 15 POUND AND THIS IS A 5-POUND LENS. THE LENS WOULD HELP WITH ANIMATION BECAUSE IT CAN RECORD POSITION INFORMATION FOR PROJECTS AND IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH OUR EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND TELEPROMPTING EQUIPMENT. WHEN WE DO TELEPROMPTING ON LOCATION, WE HAVE TO TAKE A SEPARATE SET OF TELEPROMPTING EQUIPMENT BECAUSE OUR EXISTING LENSES ARE TOO LONG TO HOLD A TELEPROMPTER AND ARE UNSTABLE. THIS WILL ELIMINATE THE INSTABILITY AND EXTRA EQUIPMENT.
