Made for filmmakers to quickly swap lenses when needed without the need to map or calibrate a new lens for an hour each time, the ARFX Lens was developed with the indie filmmaker and content creator in mind. This is a great add-on to have for green screen stages that wants to add the speed and technology of virtual production for real-time green screen comping. Save your clients time with quick swapping of lenses where the ARFX Pro Plugin automatically recognizes which lens is installed and skip the tedious lens mapping and calibration time. Also compatible for ARFX virtual production for LED walls, which makes this a perfect product to grow with your virtual production stage.
If you have the 18-80mm EF Mount with 20-pin port lens, it will require modification to the 5-pin port instead to work with ARFX Lens, we are currently working on getting support from Canon to either modify or replace existing existing 20-pin lenses.The5-pin serial port on the lens allows both sending and receiving of the lens data instead of just one-way communication.The 18-80mm EF-Mount with 5-pin port can also be separately purchased from our store (coming soon).
Any focus or zoomchangesonthe physical lens will be replicated in the virtual lens without exception. The data is read internally from the lens mechanics and internal lens metadata, not through an external sensor, achieving a true “plug and play” lens emulation solution with zero calibration time. Just load the plugin on your scene, connect, and shoot.
ARFX Lens supports all tracking systems supported by the ARFX Pro Plugin, which as of writing includes Vive Pro, Vive Mars, stYpe, Mo-Sys, and NoitomVPS. If your choice of tracking system is not currently supported, let us know as we are always looking to add support for more systems. If the tracking hardware already has a LiveLink plugin for Unreal, integration will be simple.
