Outstanding Optical Performance for 4K Cameras

The UHD-DIGISUPER 111 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.

An integrated multi-group movable zoom system can control at points with major fluctuations in optical performance during zooming (wide middle, tele middle), working to maintain optical performance throughout the entire zoom range 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.

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

The extensive framing latitude can dramatically capture all possible on-site sensations - from the emotion of an entire crowded stadium to other emotions expressed in the close-ups of facial expressions of individual players on the field.

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. The UHD-DIGISUPER 111 is the first broadcast lens to feature Canon's Air Sphere Coating (ASC), which combines vapor-deposited multi-layer coatings with an ultra-low refractive index outermost layer. The lens coatings help to control the reflection on the lens barrel’s inner surface, helping suppress ghosting and flaring, resulting in HDR-compatible high-contrast imagery.

BT.2020 Support

The lens also features correction data that supports BT.2020, enabling excellent color reproduction to the corners of the screen when attached to a 4K camera.

UHD-DIGISUPER 111

Ideal for HDR Image Capture


HDR images offer excellent gradation representation and enhanced realism and dimension including texture for image representation close to the real thing. However, there can be noticeable color bleeding and flare, so HDR shooting requires high optical performance. Thanks to our exclusive optical design technology and Canon's Air Sphere Coating (ASC), the UHD-DIGISUPER 111 delivers the advanced optical performance that Canon considers essential for an HDR system lens, enabling the capture of more realistic imagery.

UHD-DIGISUPER 111

Optimized for 4K Production

Great consideration was given to the requisite precision mounting of all optical elements required to maintain full 4K performance over the extended focal range of the UHD-DIGISUPER 111 broadcast lens. Maintaining precision focus tracking over that long zoom rage was a central design priority. Digital servo speed has been optimized to meet the many operational requirements that support creative coverage of sporting events. Advanced, contemporary optomechanical design strategies were used to produce an overall lens size that contributes to its operational ease.

Dependable Image Stabilization Performance in 4K

Shooting in 4K is demanding - even the slightest vibration can greatly impact image quality. The UHD-DIGISUPER 111 employs Canon's optical and servo technologies to help ensure 4K performance from wide angle to telephoto even when using Image Stabilization (IS).

High Vibration Reduction Rates

The UHD-DIGISUPER 111 broadcast lens can achieve high vibration reduction rates in higher frequency bands (with excellent performance at the telephoto end) and stable operation even when panning.

uhd

Bokeh Effect

When shooting in macro, the focus position of the UHD-DIGISUPER 111 can be changed as the focal length is adjusted, when using the optional MCJ-S02 Macro Controller. This built-in feature can be utilized to support special techniques in which the focus position can be shifted within the same shot just by using the Macro Controller, allowing for subtle creative defocus effects. This can help provide a degree of creativity when shooting live events such as a concert.

uhd

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.

uhd

Support for Virtual Systems

The UHD-DIGISUPER 111 broadcast lens utilizes the same standard controllers for zoom and focus operations that have been optimized by Canon over decades. 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.

UHD-DIGISUPER 111

Standardized Lens Controllers

cast lens offers compatibility with HD demands used for broadcasting. Operators can continue using the zoom/focus motorized accessories and servo models they currently use with HD equipment, as well as Canon’s new ZDJ-S01 Zoom Demand and FDJ-S01 Focus Demand. These new zoom and focus demands are equipped with the flexibility necessary to meet the new and diverse user needs when shooting in 4K, while offering simple operability in a compact design.
