The new Duvo 24-300mm lens and Kangaroo storage, Fujifilm's protagonists at IBC 2023

Santiago Sanz, Manager Optical Devices Spain; Nami Matsumoto, Recording Media Manager EMEA; and Anna Baldris, Manager Recording Media Iberia at Fujifilm In this video interview, they address the presence of the Japanese manufacturer at IBC 2023 where it has presented the Fujinon Duvo 24-300mm, a new portable dual-format lens that allows the cinema look to be brought to live television, and the long-term, turnkey data storage solution, Kangaroo.

He Fujinon Duvo 24-300mm, which will go on sale in spring 2024, is a portable, dual-format zoom lens, compatible with two types of large image sensors. It offers cinematic visual expressions, such as shallow depth of field for beautiful bokeh effect in live coverage of sporting events and music concerts, and a broadcast lens operation.

Compact and lightweight (measuring 270.5mm in length and weighing 2.95kg), it offers a 12.5x zoom covering 24-300mm frequently used on set, allowing for great mobility and offers greater options for camera position and maximum use in cinema, since it can be used not only for shoulder-mounted filming, but also handheld with a steadicam or in wide angle with a crane.

Furthermore, you can handle in the same way as a broadcast target, using the 16-bit digital zoom and focus control, which allows it to be compatible with a multitude of positioners and robotics in virtual studios.

Kangaroo

As for the new data storage solution that will be unveiled at the fair, it is called Kangaroo and integrates all the hardware (server and tape library), LTO Ultrium tapes and software that the user needs to store long-term data in a secure, sustainable way and free of proprietary formats, available from 2 native Petabytes.

It is a solución tipo plug & play personalizable, very easy to use, with all the components pre-installed in the same place, so that the user can decide its best location, with the aim of keeping the company's most critical information always nearby.

Kangaroo allows you to rear a safe space between data and cybercrime, Since, decoupling the company's most critical information from the network thanks to tape storage reduces vulnerability to any type of cyber attack.

Additionally, tape technology offers a data integrity superior to that of the hard drive, archival longevity of more than 30 years, and a self-healing system architecture in the event of an error during data writing, so users can rest easy knowing their data is protected for the long term.

To facilitate the exit strategy and integration to any system, Fujifilm Kangaroo uses software Fujifilm Object Archive, which is self-describing, open source and compatible with a large number of disk systems and tape libraries on the market, to free users from any proprietary formats.
