This includes Supreme Prime and Supreme Prime Radiance, Cinema Zoom and CP.3 lenses, as well as the recently introduced lens data-related services in the CinCraft ecosystem. Together, ZEISS and Ncam aim to provide outstanding, easy-to-use tracking and VFX solutions for professional production workflows.
“We are pleased to combine Ncam’s unique tracking technology with ZEISS’ long-standing expertise in Cinema lenses, lens data and the Cinema market,” said Christophe Casenave, responsible for Cinematography Products at ZEISS. “This allows us to think beyond current camera tracking capabilities to provide innovative solutions specifically for visual effects, virtual production and other applications.”
Brice Michoud, Head of Research and Development at Ncam adds, “The team is looking forward to working with our new colleagues at ZEISS on the next stage of camera tracking technology and making it available to even more users than ever before.”
Ncam was founded in 2012 and has offices in London and Los Angeles. Combining the global resources of Ncam and ZEISS will result in improved customer support and exciting innovations in the cine and broadcast markets and beyond.
ZEISS will ensure that every new feature and enhancement for the technology will benefit existing Ncam users and offer a compelling upgrade program. An initial product announcement will follow later this summer.
