The lens also reflects SIRUI’s focus on optical design and manufacturing, including the in-house development and production of aspherical lens elements.

New Lens Innovations at IBC 2026

SIRUI’s IBC lineup featured several recent additions across anamorphic, autofocus and lightweight imaging solutions.

The Saturn V2 drew attention with its 1.6x anamorphic design, full-frame coverage and horizontal-and-vertical shooting capability, offering greater flexibility across different production formats.

The Aurora series introduced new focal lengths while maintaining a focus on compact design and image quality. The Aurora 24mm, for example, was designed for video creators with low focus breathing and a compact form factor suited to applications including vlogging, handheld video, weddings, events and documentary production.

SIRUI also showcased its upcoming Swift autofocus lens series, developed around the “Daily Carry” concept for users seeking a compact and lightweight solution for everyday shooting. Together with the Vision Prime, Iron-Star and Astra series, the lineup demonstrated SIRUI’s expanding portfolio of imaging solutions.

The two new focal lengths in the Aurora series and the Swift series are set to launch progressively over the coming months. For further details, please stay tuned to SIRUI’s official store.

New 6U VME SBC Delivers Modern Intel Computing and Graphics, SWaP Optimization and Secure High-Capacity Storage While Preserving Existing Infrastructure and Reducing Modernization Risk

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md., Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — (AFA Air, Space & Cyber Conference, Booth MB400) — Aitech, a global leader in AI-powered rugged embedded computing and connectivity solutions for defense and space applications, today announced the C165 Rugged 6U VME Single Board Computer (SBC), helping defense and aerospace organizations build or modernize mission-critical systems while preserving proven VME infrastructure already deployed across air, land and naval platforms.

As military programs face increasing pressure to improve performance, strengthen cybersecurity and address component obsolescence, many continue to rely on fielded VME architectures that remain operationally effective but cannot easily absorb the cost, schedule disruption and technical risk of a complete platform redesign. The C165 enables program teams to modernize computing capabilities within existing systems, extending platform life and accelerating technology refresh efforts without requiring migration to a new architecture.

Aitech is showcasing the new C165 SBC, along with its mission-ready computing and connectivity solutions that help modernize air, space and defense platforms, at the Air & Space Forces Association Air, Space & Cyber Conference from Sept. 14-16 in National Harbor, Maryland in booth MB400.

“Defense customers need practical modernization solutions that improve mission capability while minimizing program risk,” said Alex Trigoub, product manager, Aitech. “The C165 delivers modern, power-optimized Intel processing, powerful integrated GPU, advanced cybersecurity, versatile I/O and high-capacity secure storage in a rugged 6U VME form factor, allowing customers to enhance performance, address obsolescence challenges and extend the operational life of deployed systems without re-architecting their platforms, while also minimizing upgrade and operational costs.”

The C165 reflects Aitech’s commitment to helping customers modernize and sustain mission-critical systems through a combination of proven technology assets, mission-specific engineering expertise and long-term lifecycle support. As a pin-compatible successor to Aitech’s C164 and C163 SBCs, the C165 provides an efficient upgrade path that helps customers manage technology obsolescence while preserving past investments in qualified hardware, software and platform infrastructure.

Built on the SWaP-optimized 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1185GRE Tiger Lake UP3 processor with integrated Intel® Iris® Xe graphics, the C165 delivers significantly higher compute and graphics performance than previous-generation VME solutions. It enables system integrators to support increasingly demanding workloads, including mission computing, ISR processing, video analytics and sensor-driven applications, while maintaining compatibility with existing VME deployments.

Beyond performance gains, the C165 addresses the growing cybersecurity and data management requirements of modern defense programs. The board supports up to 32GB of LPDDR4X memory and up to 4TB of secure NVMe storage while incorporating Aitech’s AiSecure™ cybersecurity framework, including TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, Intel Boot Guard, encrypted storage and secure erase capabilities to help protect mission-critical data and system integrity.
