The Preston Cinema Systems FI+Z system has provided the motion picture industry with several breakthrough technologies. It was the first to employ 2.4 GHz spread spectrum technology for a wireless lens and camera control and was the first to provide digital motors for lens drives. These technologies have brought a uniquely high level of reliability and confidence to the film set such that the FI+Z is now considered a mainstream requirement on film sets worldwide. The newest member of the FI+Z family, the Hand Unit 3, is encased together with its microwave link in a splash-proof housing.  Technical Achievement Awards (Certificate) 1984: For the design and development of a variable speed control device with automatic exposure compensation for motion picture cameras.
