Canon's KH19x6.7 KTS Remote controlled 1/2-inch HD Lens Makes it's European debut (5/10/2005)

Canon's new KH19x6.7 KTS lens, launched at NAB 2005, is an example of how this optical technology leader is meeting the challenge of HDTV performance at lower costs.

High Definition video is quickly becoming a staple of the production world, and Canon continues to develop unique lenses to support innovative content creation and other applications both within and outside the broadcast world.

Gets the best from the new Sony cameras

The new lens, which meets the specifications of the Sony HDC-X300 camera and the HDC-X310 (Sony's latest 1/2-inch HD camera, which was also introduced at NAB 2005), offers complete remote-control capabilities of zoom, focus, and iris (functions identical to those in Canon's current line of remote control lenses), controllable either by Canon-manufactured control devices, a Sony remote-control panel, or by robotic systems.

Applications include High Definition point-of-view imaging, HD robotic and motion control, surveillance, and a broad spectrum of corporate and business-to-business applications.

The KH19x6.7 KTS Remote Control Lens will also operate as an integral part of Sony's "Auto Focus" system, in which the camera's digital capabilities direct the lens to the correct focus point. Only Canon lenses, with a unique serial digital interface specially designed for this camera, can be relied on for this critical feature.
