EZprofile®

EZprofile®: UNIVERSAL OPTICS PROFILER FOR CAMERA OPERATORS

EZprofile® provides camera operators with a universal solution to generate highly accurate lens profiles for any optic type: ENG/EFP, Cine Prime, Hybrid zoom, Broadcast zoom lens.

Released as a standalone software, it implements a straightforward process with complete control of the data at every step, to deliver accurate calibrated lens profiles, in a limited time.

EZprofile has been engineered to provide camera operators with a steadfast solution for processing highly accurate lens mapping that suits any kind of optic, whatever the manufacturer or type of lens: ENG/EFP lens, Cine Prime, Hybrid zoom, Broadcast zoom lens.

Featuring a proven lens mapping process, our software takes advantage of custom-developed “smart” algorithms to generate any individual lens file embedding the key intrinsic parameters of your optic: K1/K2, FOV, focus distance, nodal offset, aperture.

Thanks to its automated image processing feature, EZprofile automatically records the lens intrinsics on the entire ranges of zoom/focus of the optic, before recording a three-dimensional calibration object provided as a compiled lens profile.

The software can be operated using any tracking system outputting the Freed protocol – For the operator this allows avoiding the risk of possible errors on measurements, while ensuring a rapid calibration process: ~30 min on average for Cine Prime, up to 2H for more complex Broadcast zooms.

Taking into account that many users need to quickly and easily swap their different optics during their live production phase, EZprofile is the perfect tool to pre-generate all necessary lens profiles during the prep phase, as these will be loaded into the targeted 3D rendering pipeline prior day one of the shooting.

Alternatively, the software can also load any existing lens profile that has been compiled over EZprofile prior and for a targeted 3D workflow: operator will be able to refine such a lens profile with possibility to re-export it to another compatible engine.

Whether producing over cyclorama green screen or LED-based xR stage, the overall quality of the lens profile appears key to avoid any possible visual inaccuracies on the 3D rendered layer, thus, especially for typical virtual set extensions for which the edges of the LED surfaces must perfectly match the virtual set.

As critical complement to the camera tracking, EZprofile helps you achieving a “pixel perfect” matching precision between your real set environment and virtual assets thanks to accurate lens intrinsic measurements being compiled into each profile.
