4K UhD CoNTeNT CreATioN

As 4K continues its steady integration into mainstream television dramas, documentaries and movies, Canon has worked to be at the technological forefront with our innovative Cinema EOS series and development of 4K Optics. The needs of broadcast television producers to achieve the high image quality of 4K UHD and more powerful ways of expression are now spreading to live telecasts of sports, concerts, and events. The imperative need for 4K lenses that can offer the long focal ranges that are central to contemporary sports coverage while maintaining the usability and ease of operation that the broadcast industry favors, is increasing at a rapid pace. In response to these new marketplace needs, Canon is offering lenses whose performance neatly dovetails with the various new 2/3” small-format 4K UHD cameras as part of our onward drive to support this new movement. By offering lenses that fit in with the applications and objectives of users, Canon is taking steps to actively open up new dimensions of potential in video performance. 4K images can convey such a sense of presence and an almost 3-dimensional feeling that viewers sense they are actually involved in the action; through such images, these lenses can impart new values to user content and allow viewers to experience videos in new and fresh ways.

CANoN’s TeChNoLogies ThAT AChieVe 4K

Each 2/3” small-format 4K pixel is equivalent to approximately 2.5 m, which is one-half of the size of the 2/3” HD pixels. These are approximately 1/2.7 smaller than the pixel size of the 4K Super 35mm image sensor. This means that, for these lenses, it is extremely important to establish the high-grade design and production technologies that will help ensure the requisite 4K UHD image sharpness while minimizing optical aberrations. Described below are the latest technologies Canon has developed and is utilizing to achieve these goals.

TECHNOLOGY FOR CORRECTING

ABERRATION

Use of a zoom system and floating focus has reduced the variations in the optical aberrations associated with zooming and focusing, thereby achieving a level of aberration correction commensurate with 4K. Furthermore, through the use of fluorite and UD glass and by means of optimal lens element groupings, longitudinal chromatic aberration and lateral chromatic aberration have been minimized. This has resulted in visually pleasing images on large UHD screens with minimal loss of sharpness and minimized color fringing on high contrast edges.

TECHNOLOGY TO ACHIEvE

Ultra-HigH-Precision ProdUction

When it comes to 2/3” 4K, even the slightest dimensional errors or assembly errors in the components used can significantly affect the images obtained. Canon accordingly increased the precision of the key optical components and their individual mountings while simultaneously combining precision assembly tools and measuring equipment to improve the precision levels of assembly and adjustment.

TECHNOLOGY FOR PROCEssING

Ultra-HigH-Precision lenses

In order to support the trend for 4K to offer ever-higher levels of definition, lens element surface precision higher than that for HD lenses is required. To this end, an advanced new lens processing technology and high-grade measuring technology that Canon had been developing were mobilized, enabling us to come up with the technology for mass-producing ultra-high-precision lenses that support largeaperture lenses in the 200 mm-diameter class.

TECHNOLOGY FOR MINIMIzING GHOsTING

With the emergence of high dynamic range (HDR) cameras the design of the associated lenses acquire a whole new importance. Very sophisticated multilayer optical coatings are deposited on every lens element surface to elevate the light transmission through the lens while curtailing the optical reflections that can contaminate scene black level with flare and veiling glare. The goal is to elevate the contrast level of the nominally exposed scene to the highest degree possible

– a key aspect of increasing dynamic range. In addition, the lens must reproduce specular highlights within the scene as faithfully as possible without any attendant stimulation of optical ghosts. Here too, the optical anti-reflection coatings play a pivotal role. The separate optical ghosting that can be stimulated by off-axis highlights (from the sun and other excessive highlights) are carefully managed by a multi-strategic design entailing internal mechanical structures.

WHat are canon’s UHd lenses?

The breakthrough optical designs of Canon’s HD lenses do full justice to UHD imagery, having four times the spatial resolution of HDTV. The associated stunning image sharpness is created by the combination of the remarkable contrast that Canon’s multilayer optical coatings provide, and superb resolution from the central picture region out to the image extremities.

Canon’s UHD Series Lenses are the most high performance lenses among Canon’s BCTV lenses, featuring Canon’s latest optical designs that do full justice to 4K imagery with four times the spatial resolution of HD. Canon’s proprietary optical coatings facilitate the vibrant color reproduction expected from the

UHD wide color gamut specifications, while simultaneously providing excellent tonal reproduction. A variety of proprietary design techniques helps ensure preservation of these performance levels across the entire focal range of these remarkable zoom lenses.

WHat is “4K PremiUm”?

“4K Premium” refers to the flagship line of Canon’s UHD series lenses that exceed standard 4K optical quality expectations.

Specifically, the central image sharpness is extremely high and traditional optical aberrations are virtually invisible. The very high contrast ratio helps produce deep rich black levels and superb reproduction of scene detail in shadowed areas. This lens is ideal when used in an HDR (high dynamic range) and WCG

(wide color gamut) 4K UHD image acquisition system.
