General Specifications
Canon introduces their new line of
1/2-inch HDgc lenses to support the introduction of economical,
mid-range HD cameras: KH20x6.4 KRS (KJ20x8.5 KRS for 2/3-inch),
KH21ex5.7 IRSE and KH10ex3.6 IRSE. And while the HDgc line is
engineered for affordable HD, the optical performance and operation
of these lenses is anything but ordinary.
The new lenses combine the best
optical features of Canon’s remarkable lenses, including
reduced chromatic aberration, and high and well-controlled MTF,
with digital operational tools that include Shuttle Shot, Framing
Preset, Speed Preset, and more in a line-up that delivers HD
optical quality, and other higher-end lens advancements. The HDgc
lens line includes for 1/2-inchCCD cameras: the KH21ex5.7IRSE
(telephoto version), theKH10ex3.6IRSE (wide angle lens), and a 16X
standard version which will be available late 2006. Digital
“eDrive” is available on all three of these lenses, and
represents a principal difference (along with a built-in 2X
extender) between these models and the more economical KH20x6.4KRS
(for 1/2-inch HD CCD cameras) and the KJ20x8.5B KRS (for 2/3-inch
HD CCD cameras).
