PL Servo Zoom Lenses
PL zoom lenses used for motion pictures can also be used with your URSA Broadcast.
Theselenses are designed for super 35mm which is a larger format compared to 2/3" sensors,
so the image from the lens will have a narrower field of view to when it is used on a Super
35mm sensor camera. This can be effective as it decreases you field of view, so you get the
effect of zooming in even tighter. If you need to go wider, you may need to compensate for the
crop factor by using a shorter focal length lens.
Super 35mm PL lenses with full servo control of focus, iris and zoom include:

Hybrid Compact Servo Zoom Lenses
Recently, a new category of lenses known as 'compact-servo' zoom lenses have been
introduced. These are have some of the functionality of B4 and PL servo zoom lenses but use
an EF mount. The zoom rocker for these lenses are able to be powered through the lens mount
from URSA Broadcast and information such as lens name, iris, focus and zoom position values
are all able to be read and recorded by URSA Broadcast's lens metadata system.
Electronic control of the focus, iris and zoom is available with these lenses. When connected to
a switcher, these can also be controlled remotely via ATEMSoftware Control. If you are
operating in a live broadcast or studio environment, use of Canon digital focus and zoom
control is possible, but additional custom cables are required from 3rd party manufacturers for
full functionality.
Lenses in this range include:
Canon CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 Compact-servo
Canon CN-E 70-200mm T4.4 Compact-servo
