HD Compact Studio Lens	DIGISUPER 27 Auto-Focus Option

About 1/3 the Weight of Standard Studio Lenses.

Responding to increasing use of portable HD cameras in studios, Canon invented the entirely new product category of the HD Compact Studio Lens with the introduction of the DIGISUPER 22xs (model XJ22x7.3B IE-D).

Scaled for Portable HD Cameras

The perfect complement to portable HD cameras configured for studio use, the DIGISUPER 22xs is engineered to be compact and lightweight.

Superb HD Optical Performance

The DIGISUPER 22xs offers higher contrast and resolution compared with portable HD lenses, but at the same time reduces Focus Breathing to a zero level.

Studio Operation

By adopting an “Encoder Servo System,” the maximum servo speed has been improved to Zoom: 0.5 sec., Focus: 1.5 sec. Also, the DIGISUPER 22xs HD Compact Studio Lens' new encoder system enables it to be easily integrated into virtual studio applications.

Status at a Glance

The DIGISUPER 22xs is equipped with an informational display, which enables the easy and precise use of diverse digital functions.

Controllability

The DIGISUPER 22xs can be used with Canon's current Studio/Field lens controllers as well as those for Canon ENG lenses. The DIGISUPER 22xs HD Compact Studio Lens also offers compatibility with our new digital demands by use of a conversion cable.

The DIGISUPER 27 and DIGISUPER 27AF HD studio lenses (models XJ27x6.5B and XJ27x6.5B AF,

respectively) deliver unprecedented performance for HD studio production applications. Both provide the widest angle of any lenses available, a focal length (zoom ratio) of 6.5mm to 180mm, and newly developed multi-layer optical coatings that dramatically reduce ghosting and flaring. Both also offer Canon's optional BWA-271 0.9x Wide Attachment, the industry's first wide-angle attachment for an HD studio lens. This “zoom-through” Wide Attachment enables users to begin with a wide shot and go telephoto without compromising light transmission. This feature alters the range of the zoom on wide settings by ten percent toward the wide side, making a new zoom range of 5.85mm to 162mm.

Other innovations in the DIGISUPER 27 and DIGISUPER 27AF HD studio lenses include a servo-zoom speed of 0.5 seconds and a new optional remote-controllable macro-focus feature that allows the camera operator to perform macro focusing from the pan bar (a helpful tool for focusing on jewelry and other small objects).

Auto Focus Optimized for the HD Studio

The DIGISUPER 27AF HD studio lens delivers the benefits of Canon’s Auto Focus technology to the HD studio environment. Utilizing sophisticated Auto Focus capabilities based on a proprietary HD implementation of Through-the-Lens Secondary Image Registration Phase Detection Method technology, the DIGISUPER 27AF HD lens is optimized for studio use. The tremendous picture detail contained in HDTV makes anything in less-than-perfect focus immediately obvious. The DIGISUPER 27AF HD studio lens assists camera operators in ensuring that sharpest focus on a chosen scene subject is achieved each and every time.
