OREANDA-NEWS. December 18, 2015. FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Shigehiro Nakajima) has announced that it will launch the newly developed “FUJINON FD32x12.5SR4A-CV1”(“FD32x12.5”) and “FUJINON FH32x15.6SR4A-CV1” (“FH32x15.6”) in late January 2016. The 32x Zoom lenses are compatible with larger format sensors, “FD32x12.5” with 1/1.8” format and “FH32x15.6” with 2/3” and deliver premium-quality full-HD pictures across the entire Zoom range for long-range surveillance for national borders and remote locations.pro

User needs in the surveillance systems market are shifting from being able to “see” to being able to “identify.” In the long-range surveillance segment for national borders, ports, sensitive facilities and remote locations in particular, camera sensors are becoming larger to deliver full-HD pictures and high sensitivity in low light conditions, in order to achieve a higher level of identification performance. Users are increasingly seeking high-resolution performance capable of capturing a subject across their entire zoom range outdoors, especially in low light, long distance, fog and other adverse conditions.
To meet these market needs, Fujifilm is introducing full-HD, long-range 32x lenses “FUJINON FD32x12.5SR4A-CV1” and “FUJINON FH32x15.6SR4A-CV1” and expand the line-up for surveillance lenses?with tapping into the optical technologies developed over many years.

1. Product names and release schedule

Product name Sensor size Maximal focal length Release schedule
FUJINON FD32x12.5SR4A-CV1 1/1.8” 400mm Late January 2016
FUJINON FH32x15.6SR4A-CV1 2/3” 500mm Late January 2016

2. Main features of FD32x12.5 and FH32x15.6

1) Full-HD and compatible with large size sensors

  • These lenses can capture full-HD, high definition pictures across their entire 32x zoom range and contribute to achieve a higher level of identification of the surveillance systems.
  • In order to accommodate full-HD systems, the lenses feature the flange focal length adjustment function, enabling focus settings of greater precision.
  • In response to market needs for color surveillance even in low light, they are designed for the larger 1/1.8” and 2/3” formats, which are emerging as mainstream in long-range surveillance for higher sensitivity.

2) 32x zoom covering a wide focal range

  • FD32x12.5 covers from 12.5 to 400mm and FH32x15.6 from 15.6 to 500mm.

3) Expanded interface

  • The lenses support both analog and serial interfaces, giving lens control choices to customers according to their existing systems.
  • The widely used protocol “Pelco-D” is now supported as well as FUJIFILM unique “C10”.

4) Equipped with a visible light cut filter

  • The visible light cut filter creates a de-fogging effect with an IR camera, frequently used in long-range surveillance and keep clear image quality.

5) Improved installation to the housings

  • The lenses’ main unit is approx. 20% smaller in height compared to Fujifilm’s existing 32x zoom lenses to enable combination with a greater range of outdoor surveillance system housings.
  • They feature a larger seat for being affixed to a housing, and a total of eight affixing holes for improved installation stability.
