Cannon shows EOS-1D C and C500 4K Theatre digital cameras, two new contacts ahead of NAB

Latest Addition to the Cannon Theatre EOS Product Line Includes the Practical Form Aspect of a Electronic SLR Digital camera with Complete HD and 4K Movie Documenting up to 4096 x 2160-Pixel Resolution

Constantly improving the frontiers of digital high-resolution motion-image catch for movie, tv, and other sectors, Cannon U.S.A., Inc., a innovator in digital image resolution alternatives, today declared the EOS-1D C digital single-lens response (SLR) camera.* Providing excellent video efficiency, the lightweight, light and portable EOS-1D C provides video recording at 4K (4096 x 2160-pixel) or Complete HD (1920 x 1080-pixel) quality to support high-end movie, tv generation and other innovative image resolution programs.

Outfitted with an 18.1-megapixel full-frame 24mm x 36mm Cannon CMOS indicator, the photographic camera information 8-bit 4:2:2 Movement JPEG 4K video to the digital camera's CF storage at 24 frames-per-second (fps) or Full HD 1920 x 1080 video at selectable frame rates from 24p to 60p, making  it possible for next-generation visible concept with even higher image-quality and quality efficiency.

"The Cannon EOS-1D C digital SLR digital camera was designed in reaction to the needs of filmmakers, tv makers, and other high-level motion-imaging experts," mentioned Yuichi Ishizuka, professional v. p. and gm, Image resolution Technological innovation & Devices Team, Cannon U.S.A. "Not only does it incorporate 4K and Full HD video catch with a practical design, its use of combined CF cards also provides an effective work-flows appropriate with present-day post-production specifications."

Innovative Control

The Cannon EOS-1D C digital SLR digital camera features Cannon Log Gamma to allow the documenting of high-quality movie with wealthy gradation concept, making possible the type of amazing picture excellent required in movies by increasing both emphasize and darkness details storage while also offering a active of color-grading independence. The EOS-1D C's full-frame 24 x 36mm 18.1-megapixel Cannon CMOS indicator makes possible a variety of creative picture resolution concept, such as image-blur effects. Capabilities include an extended level of sensitivity variety of up to ISO 25600 for remarkable motion-imaging results with decreased disturbance even in low-light configurations. The digital camera's ability to record 8-bit 4:2:2 4K and 8-bit 4:2:0 Complete HD movie to CF cards reduces the need for an exterior digital camera and allows workflows with improved flexibility. If preferred, however, taken movie (excluding 4K video) can be result from the digital camera's HDMI terminal to an exterior digital camera using an uncompressed YCbCr 8-bit 4:2:2 indication.


4K movie is taken by an approximately APS-H-sized portion of the complete image indicator, while Full HD movie can be taken in the visitor's choice of two different image resolution formats:

The conventional Full HD establishing records the complete 36mm size of the CMOS indicator to achieve the biggest possible position of perspective for any appropriate contact.

An optionally available Super 35 plants establishing allows cinematographers to go with the industry-standard image resolution format and position of perspective obtained by traditional movie digital cams. This allows movie from the EOS-1D C photographic camera to more closely go with the look of video from other digital cams in multi-camera firing conditions.

Other useful video-related features on the EOS-1D C DSLR include a built-in earphone port for real-time audio tracking, and the ability to perspective the digital camera's LCD even when the HDMI port is connected to an exterior observe. The EOS-1D C photographic camera uses the same LP-E4N power supply as the EOS-1D X, and it can also be powered by an optionally available AC Adaptor Kit.

The EOS-1D C photographic camera delivers with Cannon programs such as EOS Utility, which allows various photographic camera configurations to be altered from a PC, and Picture Style Writer. These two laptop or computer programs enable users to perspective the digital camera's live result on an exterior monitor1 and modify the image in real-time to increase firing and post-production advantages. The application also guarantees no loss of quality for 4K/Motion JPEG and complete HD/60p movie shown on the exterior observe, and it allows movie shot with Cannon Log Gamma to be result on the observe with movie gamma applied.

Adaptability and Value

The Cannon EOS-1D C electronic camera can be used to catch still pictures with more than 60 similar Cannon EF and EF Theatre Contacts, all of which are designed to deliver remarkable picture quality to increase the potential for creative visible concept. The light and portable and light and portable design of the electronic camera make it portable so it is highly mobile for convenient firing inside vehicles and other enclosed areas. Its light and portable also enables side-line equipment such as tracks and cranes to be more light and portable, which can assist in better managing and decreased expenditures on-set. The digital camera's low-light features can also help to reduce lighting style expenditures and increase versatility for lighting style. For added user friendliness, record start/stop can be slightly managed by EOS Utility Software via an optionally available Cannon WFT-E6A Wireless File Transmitter.

Realizing the same remarkable still-image efficiency as the recently presented Cannon EOS-1D X electronic SLR electronic camera, the electronic camera provides a understanding range of ISO 100-51200 for excellent still-image results with decreased noise, even in mysterious configurations. Including high-performance Cannon Combined DIGIC 5+ picture processor chips, the EOS-1D C provides high-precision AF and AE efficiency while also empowering high-speed ongoing firing of up to roughly 12 fps. In the ultra-fast ongoing firing function, the EOS-1D C provides a ongoing firing rate of up to roughly 14 fps (mirror remains raised during shooting; JPEG pictures only).

The Cannon EOS-1D C electronic SLR electronic camera is planned to be available within 2012 at a suggested list price of $15,000.
