This will be addressing production industry workflow challenges.
Canon has today announced a software upgrade for the EOS C500 digital cinema camera. Responding to input from motion picture and television production communities, software upgrade will accommodate workflows challenges and allow for more efficient on-set production workflows, including the on-set playback and confirmation of 4K RAW video.
Through collaboration with Intel, Cinema RAW Development 1.3 will provide improved performance using a beta version of the Intel® Media SDK 2014 Professional Camera Pack. This will allow for faster development of 4K Cinema RAW data when using a PC equipped with Intel® Iris™ Pro graphics.
Canon’s software upgrade will support greater workflow efficiencies for 4K RAW data by enabling real-time playback with playback speeds of up to 24 frames per second (fps). To date, previewing 4K RAW video footage on a notebook PC and other compact computer devices had been difficult because of the slow fps rate and the need for tremendous processing power, which was only available with a workstation PC. Now, with a combination of upgrades, Canon users will be able to more quickly preview their 4K video footage while on a shoot.
About Cinema RAW Development Cinema RAW Development enables camera capture of a wider range of colour in RAW mode than the current DCI-P3 industry standard for digital cinema projection, enabling an increased ability to secure more saturated elements. The result is an accurate reproduction of filmed images, and an increasingly realistic and detailed look for all your footage.
Canon will offer the free-of-charge Cinema RAW Development software upgrade starting in October 2014.
