Canon is introducing a new optical unit for 4K broadcasting, which the company says will bring a new visual look to sport and music event broadcasts.
The unit can be integrated into UHD-DIGISUPER 122 and UHD-DIGISUPER 111 field box lenses to help create images with a shallow depth of field, said Canon.

The lenses, when combined with the optical unit, provide high-magnification zoom and video expression that make focusing easier and help enhance the subject even in fast aperture, added the company.
The optical unit and lens combination covers a long focal length that larger format lenses are unable to reach, providing greater versatility in various shooting situations.
Versions of the UHD-DIGISUPER 122 and UHD-DIGISUPER 111 with the optical unit pre-installed are planned for future release, said Canon.
