Canon lenses can be found on the front end of over sixty percent of the television cameras in use today. Canon broadcast lenses are the preferred choice of network and cable television crews, as well as independent production companies. Canon's latest achievement, the new J21ax7.8B Telephoto Zoom Lens - the world's first IFxs broadcast lens - incorporates a new Power Optical System specifically developed to meet the demands of 16:9 format, the next-generation HDTV broadcast standard. The J21ax7.8B joins Canon's line of Emmy-award winning IF+ broadcast lenses; high-powered digital zoom lenses featuring the DIGI SUPER 70; Optical Stabilization Vari-angle Prism lenses; the Canobeam, a wireless bi-directional audio/video transmission system, and a host of other optical imaging components and systems that are shaping the way the world sees itself into the next millennium.

As the driving force in the development of new generation digital technology and HDTV, the industry continues to look to Canon for innovation thats leads the way.
