Chrosziel Begins Shipping the CDM-SFR in Coordination with Sony’s Release of the ILME-FR7 Firmware 2.00
Story Highlights
Sony releases firmware v2.00 for the ILME-FT7 PTZ camera with interchangeable lenses. The firmware update makes the Sony FR7 compatible with the Chrosziel CDM-SFR servo zoom motor which begin shipping today.
The FR7 zoom motor unit CDM-SFR fits into the operating functions of the Sony PTZ ILME-FR7 camera. The FR7 Zoom Servo Drive is a compact and universal zoom motor that can be pivoted to almost any lens by simply mounting it on the 15mm rods of the Sony PTZ head. The servo drive is controlled via the Option port of the Sony ILME-FR7. The motor control can be addressed via Sony’s camera-specific protocol and therefore can be used seamlessly with the whole ecosystem of the Sony FR7.
Due to the included Chrosziel Flexi toothed ring (#206-30), the CDM-SFR can be used with almost any zoom lens even without standard cine gearing. This opens up a complete new range of lenses to cover creative or situational needs from wide angle lenses to long-zoom operation.
Key Features:

The CDM-SFR inherits all cables, clamps, distribution box and plugs to use it right out of the box with the Sony ILME-FR7. No extra power supply needed.
