The moment when Luke Skywalker replays a holographic recording of Princess Leia from the memory banks of R2D2 has become a cultural touchstone for future media. Lately it has been replaced by the holodeck virtual reality from Star Trek: TNG, but standards body MPEG still clings to the LucasFilm original and at IBC will present advances in it attempt to create an 360- degree image for viewing on a portable 3D display. Free Viewpoint Television
(FTV) is seen as revolutionary by MPEG which is coordinating international standardisation efforts. The concept is to enable users to view a 3D world by freely changing their viewpoint as if they were actually present.
“FTV has two major target applications: super mulitiview and free navigation,” explained spokesperson Masayuki Tanimoto. “In the super multiview application, users can enjoy immersive 3D experience, viewing glasses- free 3D displays with very

Fit for 4K: Fujinon’s new PL-mount ZK12x25 Cabrio lens
4K PL-mount zoom lens Fujifilm Europe By David Fox
The new PL-mount Fujinon ZK12x25 Cabrio lens has the optical performance to support 4K cameras with Super 35mm sensors, and is claimed to offer an industry-leading zoom ratio of 12x to cover the most frequently used 25mm wide angle to 300mm on the telephoto end. The ZK12x25 uses high-
precision large-diameter aspheric elements, and the use of the three moving zoom group system minimises aberration fluctuation during zooming,
controls image distortion across the zoom range, and delivers edge-to-edge sharpness. Its Macro function lets users approach objects as close as 59cm.
Like the rest of the Cabrio range, it will be compatible with a detachable servo drive unit for zooming, focusing and iris. “The range of the ZK12 makes it ideal for sports and wildlife productions,” said Stefan Czich of Fujinon distributor Pyser-SGI. Although the lens is new at IBC, it has already been used on some high profile events, including the Commonwealth Games. 11.C20
