The AX3 adapter incorporates the v3 technology to employ novel optical techniques to inject vivid impressions of depth and texture into visual image sequences (recorded on standard film, video tape or digital medium). This is accomplished optically by a Digital Parallax Scanning iris mechanism.
The AX3 is designed to be inserted into the lens optical path at or
near
the plane of the iris allowing the capture of parallax views. HD
video shot using AX3 equipped lenses can be recorded using industry standard cameras and broadcast to the home without the necessity
of any
additional equipment.
The v3 AX3 unit is currently compatible with the Angenieux 19x and
26x HD
ENG lenses, and the Fujinon 22x and 18x HD ENG lenses.
The AX3 features conveniently located on-board parallax scan operator controls. The unit software offers function parameter preset features that can be set and easily “triggered” while shooting. Parallax scan tracking is automatic and changes according to focal length while zooming. Software presets and automatic parallax scan functions can be customized by the operator. Additional remote controls are also available for wireless and tethered operation.
