ZEISS has acquired UK-based camera tracking pioneer Ncam Technologies Ltd. With this acquisition, ZEISS is expanding its technology portfolio specifically for the film, broadcast, and visual effects industries. Ncam Technologies Ltd. is a pioneer in camera tracking based in the UK. Ncam’s multi-grant winning mixture camera following innovation makes it conceivable to spatially follow the camera inside and outside by using different following techniques. The obtained following information is fundamental for virtual creation and live compositing and offers a tremendous added incentive for postproduction. This technology is a great addition to the Supreme Prime and Supreme Prime Radiance, Cinema Zoom, and CP.3 lenses from ZEISS, as well as the lens data-related services that were recently added to the CinCraft ecosystem. Together, ZEISS and Ncam are expecting to convey exceptional, simple to involve following and VFX answers for proficient creation work processes.
Christophe Casenave, who is in charge of the cine portfolio at ZEISS, says, “We are happy to be combining Ncam’s unique tracking technology with ZEISS’ longstanding expertise in cinema lenses, lens data, and the cinema market.” He continues, “This enables us to think beyond current camera tracking capabilities to offer innovative solutions, especially for visual effects, virtual production, and other applications.”
“The team is excited to be working together with our new colleagues at ZEISS on the next step in camera tracking technology and making it available to more users than ever before,” adds Brice Michoud, Head of Research and Development at Ncam.
Ncam was established in 2012 and has areas in London and Los Angeles. Joining worldwide assets of Ncam and ZEISS will prompt better client service and energizing advancements in the cine and broadcast markets and then some.
ZEISS intends to ensure that every new technology feature and enhancement will also benefit Ncam users and provide a compelling upgrade program. A first item declaration will follow later this mid-year.
