Press Release RICOH IMAGING DEUTSCHLAND GmbH Security Systems Division Julius-Vosseler-Str. 104 22527 Hamburg Germany Tel.: 040-532 01-3366 Fax: 040-532 01-3339 E-Mail: iosd@eu.rioch-imaging.com www.ricoh-mv-security.eu NEW H55ZCME-F-HD-PR01 PAIR01 + HD Image + 2.5x Extender incorporated in a 55x Zoom At this years Counter Terror Expo in London, RICOH will be introducing its long range zoom lens with PAIR01 technology (Pentax Atmospheric Interference Reduction) plus HD resolution over HD-SDI output. PAIR01 has received the ISC West 2010 Award ‘Best in Video Device’ award and we have now added to the lens an internal electronic image stabilizer to optimize the video quality. Product: H55ZCME-F-HD-PR01, ½” C Mount 55x Motorized Zoom Identification over 650 m distance The lenses zoom range is 12 to 66mm, and when the internal 2.5x extender is switched in, the focal length increases to 30,5 to 1,680mm. With 1,680mm focal length at over 650 m distance, the field of view is 2.5m by 1.9m. The extremely high magnification in combination with HD resolution means a person can be identified at distances in excess of 650m. Therefore, this lens is ideal for video surveillance in sports stadiums, city centers, air ports, harbours, as well as border control, intersections, city streets and highways. Additional Features 1. HD Optics and HD electronics for HD-Video over HD-SDI output 2. Further advanced image optimizing functions: PAIR01 I. Image Stabilizer Image Stabilization is extremely effective for long distance surveillance that often contains high levels of vibration. RICOH offers an electrical control method along with the lens’ characteristics, with lower failure rate compared to optical or mechanical methods. II. Fog Reduction Not only reducing the effects of liquid particles, like fog and rain, it also reduces interference caused by solid particles such as smoke and sand. RICOH offers this unique function whilst maintaining the colour image, which is important for identifying the target, while the optical filter method only offers monochrome images by removing the visible light. It also maintains the volume of light (brightness) as it does not reduce visible light. Fog reduction level is automatically adjusted and optimized, plus backlight/white balance compensation with Auto Focus enhancing the entire image quality. III. Auto Focus Auto Focus activated by mouse click, the average focusing speed is 4.5 seconds, the fastest Auto Focus speed in its class, which helps the user overcome the difficulty of finding the focus at the hyper telephoto range. IV. Internal 2.5x Extender The original magnification of this zoom lens is 55x, but RICOH has incorporated an optical 2.5x extender, which is electrically engaged into the lenses optics. With the extender engaged, the focal range increased to 30.5 mm to 1,680mm. Therefore, the magnification physically increases to 140x. V. Night Image Enhancement PAIR also offers Night Image Enhancement as „add ons“ to the compensation functions of the camera. 3. All-in-One All functions are built into the lens, enabling a simple and more compact system installation without the need for additional devices. 4. User Friendly User friendly in both operation and cost when compared to separate stand alone devices.
