The newly improved HDxs SeriesCanon has developed the improved HDxs lens series.The new generation of HDxs lenses exceeds allconventional lens specifications and concepts by usingbreakthrough technologies.HDxs alloes for higher specification lenses in a smallerand lighter packages.•Consistent high optical performance is achieved withminimized aberration changes throughout the zoomingrange from wide angle to telephoto.•Minimized chromatic aberrations at telephoto focallength in higher zoom ratio lenses.•Improved operability due to very little shift in the centerof gravity.•The body has anti-dust and anti-moisture properties dueto a sealed focusing unit.•All of this in a lens in comparable size and weight of aconventional NTSC/PAL lens.

Ergonomic Grip (HJ lens series)Canon's original "Ergonomic Grip" is part of the HJ lens series.This grip is angled 12.5 degrees, which is ergonomically the idealangle for a comfortable hold, providing fatigue-free shooting evenwhen in use for long periods of time.

X-Element & POWER OPTICAL SYSTEM Canon has developed breakthrough optical design concept using anewly developed optical element in the most effective way. The"Power Optical System" can achieve higher specifications andquality, using the new optical "X-Element" which corrects coloraberration to a much lower level than with conventional opticalelements and layouts.

New Generation DIGITAL SERVO SYSTEM (DIGI SUPER Series)Canon's new generation digital servo system has allowed the use ofmany new functions such as constant angle of view while focusing"CAFS" and the selection of different servo characteristics by usingof a memorycard(option).These functions areonly possible with adigital servo system.In addition to thesenew functions, up-grading will be possiblewhen other newfunctions becomeavailable in the future.Also the DIGISUPER Series achieve13 bit zoom and focusrepeatability and offer bi-directional serial data communication inorder to realize highly accurate and smooth movement which isessential for robotics and virtual studio applications. The digitalservo system is reliable, consistent and is not affected by electricinterference.

"CAFS" Constant Angle Focusing System (DIGI SUPER Series)The zooming effect is a phenomena where the picture size (angleof view) changes when focusing. However, a 32 bit CPU calculatesand controls the zoom when focusing in order to counteract thisphenomena.Consequently the angle of view is maintained by synchronizingzoom movement to the focus movement.

Canon has designed several new "HDTV" lenses for 2/3 inch format HDTV cameras which will allow HDTV productionat costs and specifications which were not achievable in the past.Canon offers the widest selections of lenses in the industry. Everything from an ultra wide 11x short zoom to an extreme tele86x. Canon can offer a lens of choice for all applications.

Optical Image Stabilizer : Shift-IS

The history of field lenses is a history of zoom ratio/focal extention. The telephoto focal lengths of the lens got so long that even the slightestamount of wind or operator's movement would cause image shake and viewing of the picture became intolerable. Canon, renowned for itsoptical image stabilization technologies developed new stabilization solution for the broadcast field lens, an built-in Optical Shift Image Stabilize(Shift-IS) to overcome image shaking at telephoto focal length.Now the Shift IS is employed in the DIGISUPER 86TELE xs , DIGISUPER 86 xs ,HJ40x14B IASD-V and HJ40x10B IASD-V.

How the Optical Shift Image Stabilizer (Shift-IS) Works

When the lens moves,the light rays from the subject are bent relativeto the optical axis, resulting in a blurred image because the light raysare deflected. By shifting the IS lens group on a plane perpendicular tothe optical axis to counter the degree of image shake, the light raysreaching the image plane can be steadied. Since image shake occurs inboth horizontal and vertical directions, two shake-detecting sensors foryaw and pitch, detect the angle and speed of movement and send thisinformation to a high-speed 32-bit microcomputer,converts theinformation into drive signals for the IS lens group. Then actuatormoves the IS lens group horizontally and vertically and thuscounteracting the image shake and maintaining a stable picture.

The Features of Digital DriveCanon's HDxs technology is now better than ever, with the addition of "Digital Drive", the all-new ENG/EFP lens servosystem available throughout the Canon line of HDTV lenses, that represents the most useful features ever incorporated intodigital tools by far. The concept of Canon's "Digital Drive" is based on "Ease of Operation" for our customers.

1. Three preset functions

Speed PresetA zoom speed agreed on during rehearsal can be reproduced accurately. The preset memory is not automatically cleared andcan be repeated as many times as needed.

Shuttle ShotAt the touch of a button, this feature allows the operator to zoom back and forth instantly between any two positions at themaximum speed in either direction. It can be used for zooming to either the tele-side or wider focal length from any startingpoint to check the picture, then return instantly to the original focal length. You can "shuttle" between any two zoompositions as you like.

Framing Preset A movement to a preset position can, again, be repeated multiple times. The preset memory is not automatically cleared andthe agreed-on framings from rehearsal can be duplicated over and over in an actual production, at the maximum speed or atany desired preset zoom speed memorized in the speed preset function.

2.Zoom Mode SelectOne of several operational curves can be chosen which willallow different zoom movement characteristics whenoperating the seesaw switch. This is accomplished as a linearadjustment as opposed to an adjustment done in steps.

The Latest HDTV Lens SeriesCanon began developing lenses for the "HDTV System" almost 20 years ago. Canon was the first manufacturer to complete a standardseries consisting of five basic models of practical 2/3" HDTV lenses by launching the HJ15x8B (in 1997) in addition to four existinglenses, the UJ65x9.5B and UJ20x7B for Studio/Field and the HJ18x7.8B and HJ9x5.5B for ENG/EFP. Canon continues to lead thebroadcast industry in the 21st century "DTV" era with the next generation family of the following nine new HDTV models.

Overall Comparison between the SDTV andthe HDTV System

Whereas one frame of the conventional SDTV (ie NTSC)system consists of 480 scanning lines, the number ofscanning is more than 1.5 times that for the HDTV system.Furthermore the density of the scanning lines are evenhigher because the HDTV system has an aspect ratio of16:9, which is wider and shorter in height than that of thenormal SDTV (4:3 aspect ratio) system. The spatialfrequency required for the HDTV system is about twicethat required for the NTSC system (Fig.1).Overall, the resolution of the HDTV system is about twicethat of the NTSC system, and therefore the lens requiresmuch higher performance than conventional lenses.

Sensitivity of the HDTV System

Two factors have to be considered to compare the sensitivity of theHDTV system with that of theconventional system.The first factor thatthe HD camera has an aspect ratio of16:9 (Fig.2). This makes the sensitivearea smaller and causes a 10%difference in sensitivity.The second factor is related to theHDTV system's depth of field, which ishalf of the conventional system.Therefore, on HD cameras, the lensesmust be stopped down until their F-number becomes double in orderto get the same depth of field as that in the conventional system. Thisreduces the sensitivity to one fourth (1/4).

The Depth of Field for HDTV System

As the HDTV system has high resolution, even a small out-of-focus area can be detected. Since the radius of thepermissible circle of confusion is about half that of theconventional system, the depth of field becomesproportionately smaller.Therefore, the focusing has to be done with great care.

Aberration Correction for HDTV Leneses

The pixel size is about half in the HDTV system, and therefore thespread of a point image caused by aspherical aberration, coma, etc. shouldbe diminished to about half. Even if theimage is slightly out of focus, MTF isgreatly influenced.Fig3 shows how MTF varies when thefocus changes. Canon HDxs series lensesemploy the HD version of the PowerOptical System, which incorporates theX-element. HDxs greatly contributes to correcting and minimizingthese aberrations in a compact lightweight lens body.
