AB  - The Mars Science Laboratory Mast camera and Descent Imager investigations were 
      designed, built, and operated by Malin Space Science Systems of San Diego, CA. 
      They share common electronics and focal plane designs but have different optics. 
      There are two Mastcams of dissimilar focal length. The Mastcam-34 has an f/8, 
      34 mm focal length lens, and the M-100 an f/10, 100 mm focal length lens. The 
      M-34 field of view is about 20 degrees  x 15 degrees  with an instantaneous field of view (IFOV) 
      of 218 murad; the M-100 field of view (FOV) is 6.8 degrees  x 5.1 degrees  with an IFOV of 
      74 murad. The M-34 can focus from 0.5 m to infinity, and the M-100 from ~1.6 m to 
      infinity. All three cameras can acquire color images through a Bayer color filter 
      array, and the Mastcams can also acquire images through seven science filters. 
      Images are </=1600 pixels wide by 1200 pixels tall. The Mastcams, mounted on the 
      ~2 m tall Remote Sensing Mast, have a 360 degrees  azimuth and ~180 degrees  elevation field of 
      regard. Mars Descent Imager is fixed-mounted to the bottom left front side of the 
      rover at ~66 cm above the surface. Its fixed focus lens is in focus from ~2 m to 
      infinity, but out of focus at 66 cm. The f/3 lens has a FOV of ~70 degrees  by 52 degrees  across 
      and along the direction of motion, with an IFOV of 0.76 mrad. All cameras can 
      acquire video at 4 frames/second for full frames or 720p HD at 6 fps. Images can 
      be processed using lossy Joint Photographic Experts Group and predictive lossless 
      compression.
