3D Solution

for Broadcast Zoom Lenses

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 offsets 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.

Lens Refinements for 3D

The “3D Lens Adjustment Software” is intended to make stereoscopic tracking of the
3D Lens Adjustment Software
zoom, focus and iris even more precise, and allow appropriate offsets to be easily
made using the Digital Drive Unit's display to compensate for minor zoom and focus
tracking differences between any two lens pairs. Together with the 3D Bridge Cable, the
software will also make it possible to use the standard lens controllers as shown below.
The software can be installed to the conventional lenses (models shown on the former
page) at Canon service centers for the customers who purchased the 3D Bridge Cable.

3D Bridge Cable Most of the Canon’s HDTV Zoom Lenses are equipped with 16-bit resolution
Rotary Encoder Devices, which provide precise synchronous lens control by simply
To Left Lens
connecting the two lenses with a 20pin-20pin single cable. This 3D Bridge Cable will
allow simultaneous control of a pair of lenses from one zoom and focus controllers.
(See the system configuration on the back cover.)
To Right Lens

3D Lens Controllers
A special attraction of Canon’s synchronous lens control system is that the system doesn’t require special controllers. If the lens is
installed with the 3D Lens Adjustment Software, all the servo controllers for digital servo lenses as shown below will be compatible
with Canon’s synchronous lens control system, which should save additional costs when implementing 3D production systems.

Other Solution (For Box Type Lenses and HJ40x)

For the lenses which the 3D Lens Adjustment Software is not applicable, the 3D Divider Cable is another 3D solution. The cable will
divide the control signal of a zoom or focus demand and simultaneously input to the Left and Right Lenses. It is necessary to prepare
one cable each for the zoom and focus control. Also, the applicable zoom and focus demands will be limited.
