STUDIO LENS

Corresponding to the world’s trend of using a portable camera in HD Studio Systems, Canon introduces a new concept for a Studio Lens. The DIGISUPER 22 xs is a “Compact HD Studio lens” which was specifically designed to be used with a portable camera. By adopting technologies developed from Canon’s long history, the DIGISUPER 22 xs is superior in both optical performance and ease of operation, compared with HD portable lenses as well as all previous SDTV Studio Box Type Lenses.

The DIGISUPER 22 xs provides higher optical performance compared with the portable lenses and at the same time, owing to the compact size, it offers higher versatility when used with a portable camera as opposed to the large box type lenses.

Advanced Operation

By adopting an “Encoder Servo System”, the maximum servo speed has been improved to; Zoom: 0.5sec, Focus: 1.5sec. Also, the new encoder system enables the lens to be easily integrated into virtual studio applications.

Diverse Functions

The DIGISUPER 22 xs is equipped with an informational display, which will enable you to use diverse digital functions, easily and precisely.

*Listed below are the typical three functions of Canon’s diverse digital functions.

High Optical Performance

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

Compact Size & Light Weight

In order to realize the best capabilities from the camera/lens combination, the lens was specifically designed to be as compact and light as possible.

*Please refer to the diagram below. The lens dimensions are given on the back page.

Crossover Compatibility

Available optionally is the dual aspect ratio switching system, “Crossover”, for switchable 16:9/4:3 cameras.

Accessories

The DIGISUPER 22 xs can be used with our current Studio/Field lens controllers as well as those for our ENG lenses such as the “ZSD-300D & FPD-400D”.

At the same time, the lens also offers compatibility with our new digital demands by use of a conversion cable.

Shuttel Shot

By memorizing any two focal lengths, the lens can automatically “shuttle” between the two points, moving in either direction.

Constant Angle Focusing System

The zooming effect of focus is the phenomena where the picture size (angle of view) changes when focusing. However, a CPU calculates and controls the zoom when focusing in order to counteract these phenomena. Thus the DIGISUPER series has ZERO zooming effect of focus.

Framing Preset

An angle of view can be preset in either of two memories and the lens will zoom to that position by pushing a simple button. During a performance, framing preset will reproduce the zoom position decided upon at the rehearsal. It’s easy to repeat the same zoom as often as you like at the highest speed or in a preset zoom speed.

Speed Preset

A specific zoom speed can be preset in memory and it is possible to repeat the zoom speed as often as you like by pushing a simple button.
