The Chrosziel Premista Servo Drive (CDM-PREM-FIZ) is a full servo drive unit developed exclusively for all three Fujinon Premista Series Lenses. This compact and ergonomic unit brings the Cine-Look of the Premista lenses into a broadcast workflow in a simple and easy way.
Three perfectly positioned drive gears engage the Fujinon Premista lens with a high degree of precision, employing three powerful digital cine motors. The Chrosziel CDM-PREM-FIZ is particularly useful for cinematic multicam, ENG and OB work, where zoom and focus can be controlled from standard Fujinon TVstyle tripod controls or the handheld zoom rocker switch. It supports remote head and robotics applications via the Hirose 20pin Fujinon remote interface, which also allows the Chrosziel Magnum wireless FIZ unit and all other compatible brands of FIZ to control the drive’s focus, zoom and iris.
