Our second system update for the OV1 Overlay Unit is here!
We’ve been hard at work on the next round of improvements for the OV1, incorporating feedback from users and continuing to refine the system.
Version 26.11 brings important stability fixes, faster performance, improved controls, and some exciting new features — including our first beta release of on-board video capture and playback!

Attention all Small HD users with RX enabled monitors! With Page OS 6.3.5 you can now select wireless as the general input, cable out from SDI 2 into the Focusbug OV1 and back into SDI 1. Then on an individual page you add a tool “input”, select SDI 1 and enjoy the OV1’s range of customizable overlay options using data from the Cine RT System and compatible lens control systems (ARRI, c motion, Preston and Heden). Thanks to @wizard_of_buzz for the image and assistance!

We made it inside… Well, in a manner of speaking…
With ARRI SUP 6.2 for cameras and SUP 3.6 for the Hi-5, the features of the ARRI Focusbug License are now supported directly via serial connector of the ALEXA 35, ALEXA 35 Xtreme and ALEXA 265. No more need for an LCUBE or a RIA-1 to access user buttons control of the Focusbug from the Hi-5!
Please ensure you are using a Bidirectional Serial or Y Cable to connect your Cine RT Base Sensor available from Focusbug. These cables work with both ARRI camera serial and RIA-1 serial inputs.
In addition to this update, keep an eye out for expanded Focusbug License features that will enhance control of the Cine RT from the Hi-5 and optimize support of the Focusbug OV1 for ARRI LCS users - coming soon from our friends at ARRI ECS!

Canon FDL 85mm 1.2 cover the GFX sensor?
To absolutely no one's surprise, it does indeed, and it covers in fact really well. This is not a surprise because it is 85mm, but this lens renders incredibly sharp and you get a little bit of extra character towards the edges. This lens remains consistently clean even throughout the entire width and height of the sensor, with a bit of vignetting, very soft vignetting coming in on the corners.
These lenses have been retested and will be soon uploaded to CineTraits, where you can view them for the full GFX sensor.
This is such a sharp and clean overall look with slightly softer bokeh. At around 12 feet, you start to get a bit more textured and you get just a little bit of extra character out of the edges when shooting on such a large sensor.

Our Eterna 55 build is coming along. Not completely finished yet, but being kitted out for all sorts of optics.
Running our wooden camera elite handles, wooden camera cage, bright tangerine matte box, C7 adapters, PL to LPL.
Running Focus Bug Technologies rangefinder with two high brighta for an efficient way to track subject distance - we have some interesting use cases for this which we will discuss soon.
all these images shot with the @thypoch_official 24-50 F2.8

More BTS from @theodysseymovie with glimpses of the Cine RT System at play on @imax camera (and blimp) in both its regular form and custom chopped horns “.38 special” format, as requested by 1st AC @kid_68 for shooting subjects physically close to the camera.

Our first system update for the OV1 Overlay Unit is here!
Thank you to the OV1 early adopters for quickly bringing forward a collection of overlooked UI quirks and ideas for useful features. Fixs and refinements have been implemented and outlined on the OV1 page at focusbug.com.
For a small team like us, your feedback is everything. It literally drives our development. This first update demonstrates exactly how we intend to keep building the Cine RT System, OV1 and future Focusbug products: in direct collaboration with you.
Please note: Version 26 firmware has been released for OV1 presale clients to get overlays up and running. Although V26’s official release is pending, it is available to all interested Cine RT System users and contains some new features such as FLEA Data Interface Module support, Preston Autofocus Trigger (via the Cine RT Handset) and a range of behind the scenes system optimizations.
