Overview
4K Compatible Mid-range Telephoto Broadcast Lens
The UHD-DIGISUPER 66 (UJ66x9B delivers 66x magnification and the operability of a 2/3” HD field lens, making it ideal for a wide range of long focal length applications in the field, in large studios, and in special venues.

State of the Art Optomechanical and Electronic Advances
Featuring advanced design technologies, optical components and manufacturing processes, the lens supports 4K UHD broadcast cameras, helping to ensure high resolution from the center to edges of the screen, resulting in superb optical performance. The lens maximizes the output video image performance when used with the most sophisticated 4K UHD cameras. The UHD-DIGISUPER 66 broadcast field lens embodies state of the art optomechanical and electronic advances.
66x Optical Zoom Lens
The UHD-DIGISUPER 4K compatible mid-range telephoto broadcast lens, delivers 66x magnification and the operability of a 2/3” HD field lens, all with 4K performance. The lens has a telephoto end focal length of 600mm (1200mm when using the built-in 2x extender), making it ideal for shooting live sports, nature, concerts, live events and other applications where focal length on the telephoto end is prioritized.

Outstanding Optical Performance for 4K Cameras
The UHD-DIGISUPER 66 broadcast lens was built using our exclusive optical design technology, helping ensure consistent 4K resolving power and high contrast from the center of the screen to the periphery, maintaining 4K optical performance even when the 2x extender is deployed.
Zoom fluctuation is controlled using a multi-group movable zoom and aspheric surfaces. This facilitates consistent and dependable optical performance from the center of the image to the edges. In addition, integrated floating focus system helps reduce changes in aberrations when focusing to different object distances, while maintaining 4K optical performance in color reproduction over the entire focus range, especially on the telephoto side.

Support for Virtual Systems
The UHD-DIGISUPER 66 broadcast lens utilizes the same standard controllers for zoom and focus operations that have been optimized over decades of Canon HDTV field lens developments. The lens also uses the standard Canon 20-pin connector that provides an interface for the digital precision positional information of the zoom, focus, and iris operations required by many external virtual systems. The positional data is internally created by high precision digital encoders.

Outstanding 4K Imagery
The lens also features a combination of the latest materials, contemporary optical design, and multi-layer coatings to produce outstanding 4K imagery. This helps lower the monochromatic and chromatic optical aberrations to a level consistent with the highest quality 4K portrayal on large screens, allowing 4K cameras to reach their potential and deliver performance in live sports such as baseball, soccer and golf.

Minimized Chromatic Aberration
Fluorite and UD glass have also been generously utilized and optimally arranged for better correction of chromatic aberrations. This helps increase image clarity with less color bleeding or coloring around the outlines, achieving superb color reproduction to the edges of the images.

Reduced Ghosting and Flare
Special coatings and an internal lens barrel designed to prevent reflection result in minimized ghosting and flaring, allowing users to take high-tonality images to support HDR.

Dependable Image Stabilization Performance in 4K
Shooting in 4K is demanding - even the slightest vibration can greatly impact image quality. Canon’s optical and servo technologies are employed to help ensure 4K performance even when using Image Stabilization (IS). The UHD-DIGISUPER 66 broadcast lens is able to achieve high vibration reduction rates in higher frequency bands (with excellent performance at the telephoto end) and stable operation even when panning.

Constant Angle Focus System (CAFS) Minimizes Focus Breathing
This function brings changes in angle of view due to focusing ("breathing") down to near zero. It functions by counteracting the zoom effect by the focus group movement to cancel out the effect on the angle of view.

Compact and Lightweight
The UHD-DIGISUPER 66 broadcast lens offers similar mobility and shooting style similar to our DIGISUPER 60 xs (XJ60x9B) 2/3” HD lens, while keeping the improvements in magnification and 4K performance.
