WolfVision VZ-8

The compact desktop visualizers of WolfVision VZ-8 series feature a unique two-step folding mechanism, allowing quick setup and breakdown. With a folded height of just 13.7 cm, the devices can be easily stored in a drawer or carried for mobile use, making them a standard tool in businesses and educational institutions around the world.

Now in their fourth generation, both current models of VZ-8 series are equipped with powerful CMOS cameras offering native Full HD resolution. For the first time, the new YSOP1 image processing engine is integrated, delivering sRGB color precision inside a modern, Red Dot Award-winning design. While VZ-8light4 delivers a solid 30 frames per second, VZ-8plus4 is the world's first visualizer to offer 60 fps at native 1080p resolution. This results in ultra-smooth motion and an even faster autofocus. VZ-8plus4 also features an integrated LCD preview monitor to assist with accurate object positioning on the working surface.
