3D Solution for Broadcast Zoom Lenses

Anticipating the boom in popularity of 3D, Canon has been actively engaged with HD camera manufacturers, 3D

rig specialists, and enterprising content creators presently exploring 3D program origination in moviemaking, as

well as television coverage of sports, concerts, and special events. Recognizing the importance of 3D program

origination, Canon gave priority to adoption of most of the standard HD lens series for 3D production systems.

This entailed use of Canon's original 16bit resolution encoders, while at the same time allowing o sets of zoom,

focus and iris positions to compensate the tracking of each positions. Canon is now introducing a new solution to

construct a simpler 3D production system with increased interoperability at a low cost.

3D Lens Lineups

A pioneer in the development of Digital Drive Units for its portable lenses, Canon’s control systems for 3D lens-camera-

pairs capitalizes on the precision of these Digital Drive Units, allowing for one zoom controller and one focus controller to

simultaneously operate both lenses. The Company’s new ergonomic Digital Drive Unit incorporates Canon-developed, ultra-

compact rotary encoders capable of 0.1um position detection which produces 16-bit resolution of the positions of zoom, iris, and

focus controls. Together with the 3D Bridge Cable and the 3D Lens Adjustment Software as described on the next page, the lens

will provide even higher interoperability and precision in synchronization of zoom, focus and iris positions of the lens pairs.
