The Canon EOS C500 4K Digital Cinema Camera is the flagship of
the Cinema EOS family. While it features the same Canon-developed
Super 35mm 4K CMOS image sensor used in the EOS C300, the
EOS C500 offers significantly more contemporary high-resolution
motion-imaging choices. Direct readout of the four separate 2K or
HD video components from a 4K image sensor eliminates the
debayering process, and allows for uncompressed 2K or HD 4:4:4
RGB video components – with an additional choice of 12-bit or 10-bit
depth for each – at up to 120P frame rates. These RAW components
are output via a 3G-SDI serial interface to external recorders. And,
anticipating the increasing move towards 4K production, the
EOS C500 camera can be switched to a 4K imaging mode that is
user-selectable between cinematography or UHDTV 4K formats.
The EOS C500 delivers an uncompressed 4K RAW output to external
recorders; in-camera recording to CF cards of an HD proxy of the
2K/HD/4K primary origination can be used for offline editing.
The Canon EOS-1D C 4K DSLR Cinema Camera is perhaps the most
unique, self-contained motion-imaging system in the world.
An unusually innovative video camera utilizing a Canon-developed
Full-Frame 18.1 Megapixel CMOS image sensor in a compact DSLR
body, it offers digital 4K at 24 fps motion imaging, two separate modes
of 16:9 HD motion imaging, and full-frame still images – all captured
in-camera on CF cards. The EOS-1D C uses Dual
5+ Image
Processors for powerful RGB video processing that provides
extraordinary sensitivity, low noise, superb image quality, and
beautiful color reproduction over a wide range of scene lighting
conditions. Motion-JPEG compression is used for 4K YUV 4:2:2
recording, and MPEG-4 AVCHD / H.264 codecs for the two HD
modes – each at high data rates – ensure excellent image capture
performance. The camera is compatible with all Canon Cinema Prime
and EF-mount Cinema Zoom lenses, as well as with the wide range
of standard EF Lenses. The EOS-1D C is a powerful B-Camera or
C-Camera to augment productions using the EOS C500 and/or
EOS C300 cameras.
