Cinematic expression to the broadcast live production. Super long zoom coverage to the cinema world

Delivering 12.5x zoom covering 24-300mm, a focal range that is frequently used on set, achieves compact size at 270.5mm in length and lightweight 2.95kg. This lens can be utilized with tripod, as well as shoulder-mounted operation, with a steadicam or for high-angle shooting using a crane.

The lens features a bright T2.9 to T4.2 aperture creating a shallow depth of field that allows for cinematic image expression with beautiful bokeh effect, making it ideal for sporting events, live concerts, reality show, and other live broadcasts. By engaging the built-in extender to expand the image circle by 1.5 times the Duvo 24-300mm covers full frame sensors.

Duvo 24-300mm Zoom Coverage

The lens offers extensive coverage, with 12.5x zoom across 24-300mm as standard. This can be extended by utilizing a built-in extender, which shifts focal length by 1.5x. The result is an even greater 36-450mm range.

Duvo 24-300mm Size

Ideal for shoulder-mounted operation and compatible with stabilizing support systems, Duvo 24-300mm is just 270.5mm long and 2.95kg in weight. Portability and ease of use are assured for teams of all sizes, in varied locations within the live environment. Coupled with the range of coverage, operators can seize opportunities near and far, even from limited physical spaces.

Duvo 24-300mm Sensor Coverage and Quality

While broadcast cameras have traditionally contained smaller sensors, many creatives are now looking to larger formats to deliver a cinematic aesthetic. Duvo 24-300mm offers native Super 35mm sensor coverage, but sensors equivalent to full-frame can be covered via the built-in extender. This function expands the lens’s image circle by 1.5x, maintaining the same optical quality and angle of view.
The optical quality in question is a result of large-diameter aspherical elements and Super ED (extra-low dispersion) lenses within Duvo 24-300mm. Ghosting, lens flare, and various forms of aberration are effectively controlled.

Duvo 24-300mm Accessories and Control

Comfortable usability is a must in the fast-moving live environment. Zoom, aperture, and focus can all be controlled via third-party wireless controllers, enabling remote operation and dedicated focus pulling by an assistant. Alternatively, focus alone can be adjusted using one of many industry-standard accessories thanks to the lens’s 0.8M focus ring gear pitch. 

A Remote Back Focus function is another of Duvo 24-300mm’s operability benefits. Using the camera’s control panel or associated robotic support system, flange focal distance can be adjusted accurately. This facilitates use of an external monitor, rather than the camera’s viewfinder, when back focusing is required.

Duvo 24-300mm features Breathing Compensation Technology (BCT), which automatically corrects focus breathing (fluctuations in the angle of view) to produce natural footage while maintaining the subject being filmed in the established field-of-view during changes in focus.

For seamless use through post-production Duvo 24-300mm is equipped with the ZEISS eXtended Data system, which outputs a metadata log of zoom, aperture, and focus positions, as well as distortion and shading corrections.

Access to a Wide Variety of Accessories

Duvo 24-300mm supports multi-camera operations to facilitate efficient production.
The lens can be connected to a third-party wireless lens controller, a setup commonly used for movie and TV commercial production, to remotely control focus, aperture and zoom. This also supports focusing by a dedicated focus operator. 

The lens focus ring has a gear pitch of 0.8M, which allows the use of all standard, third-party accessories for movie production. The front diameter is 114mm, so that a matte box can easily be used in cinema and commercial production. Alternatively, the included rubber broadcast style lens hood with 127mm filter thread can be used.
