POWERFUL HD STUDIO LENS
FEATURING THE VERY LATEST
OPTICAL AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY

Recently there has been a great demand for broadcast HDTV studio production.In the field of the HDTV
studio production, Canon’s DIGISUPER 25xs is the most popular HDTV studio lens in the world and it is
known for its outstanding optical performance and ease of operation. Now, Canon is introducing unique
technology with the launch of our most advanced HDTV studio lens, the DIGISUPER 27.
In addition to the lens’ completely new design, the DIGISUPER 27 is also equipped with a digital interface,
enabling the lens to be compatible with virtual studio systems. Moreover, newly developed optional
functions and accessories that allow for more effective studio production, are available. The unique options
available on the DIGISUPER 27 are a “Remote Macro System” and an industry first “Wide Attachment
(0.9x)”.

Optical performance with an improved 27x

zoom ratio and an exceptional 6.5mm Wide Angle
while maintaining a compact size.

The DIGISUPER 27 features outstanding HD optical
performance that will dramatically improve HDTV studio
imagery. The key optical performance features are first, a
significantly Reduced Ghosting and Flare. Secondly,
Minimized distortion even though the wide angle has been
expanded to an exceptional 6.5mm. Reaching this
incredible optical quality is only possible because of
Canon’s unique optical design concept, the POWER
OPTICAL SYSTEM.

Latest generation DIGITAL SERVO SYSTEM

Canon’s latest generation digital servo system allows the
use of many new functions such as constant angle of view
while focusing “CAFS” and the selection of different
servo characteristics.
These functions are only possible with a digital servo
system. In addition to these new functions, the upgrading
of software will be possible when new functions become
available in the future. This means that the DIGISUPER 27
has unlimited possibilities.
The DIGISUPER 27 achieves 13 Bit zoom and focus
repeatability and offers bi-directional serial data
communication in order to facilitate highly accurate and
smooth movements that are essential for robotics and
virtual applications.
The digital servo system is reliable, consistent and is not
affected by electric interference.

.

Improved zoom speed and zoom control capabilities

The DIGISUPER 27 features both an improved maximum
zoom speed (0.5sec) as well as enhanced control of the
zoom movement when operated via the zoom demand. The
DIGISUPER 27 enables swift response to the operator’s
zoom commands and at the same time, provides for a more
smooth motion at the beginning of the movement.These
features provide camera operators with zoom movement
fully meeting their expectations and with intuitive control.

Compatible with the virtual studio system

The DIGISUPER 27 is capable of supplying various types
of positional signals to Virtual systems. The type of
signals can be chosen from: an Encoder data signal, an
Analog data signal or a Serial data signal, which are
common in existing Virtual systems.

“CAFS” Constant Angle Focusing System

The zooming effect of focus is the phenomena where the
picture size (angle of view) changes when focusing
(breathing). However, a CPU calculates and controls the
zoom when focusing in order to counteract these
phenomena. Thus the DIGISUPER 27 has ZERO zooming
effect of focus throughout the whole zoom range.

CROSSOVER COMPATIBILITY

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

Remote Macro System(Optional)

By using the optional Remote Macro controller MCJ-S02,
the camera operator can focus on objects within the Macro
distance. The Remote Macro controller also allows the
camera operator greater creative control through the ability
to create intentionally out of focus images.

Wide Attachment (Optional)

By using the optional 0.9x Wide Attachment, the focal
length becomes wider by a factor of 0.9x. The new Wide
Attachment has been exclusively designed for the
DIGISUPER 27 thus maximizing its optical performance.
