Shah Alam, June 7: Canon has unveiled two significant additions to its CINEMA EOS SYSTEM lineup: the EOS C400 digital cinema camera and the CN7×17 KAS T/R1 and CN7×17 KAS T/P1 CINE-SERVO lenses.
Set to launch in early September 2024, the EOS C400 is designed for high-quality video production in both cinematic and live settings.
This camera boasts an RF mount and incorporates a 6K full-frame sensor, producing stunning visuals with shallow depth of field and beautiful bokeh.
The EOS C400 builds on the features of the EOS C500 Mark II and EOS C300 Mark III, offering enhanced communication functions such as lateral chromatic aberration corrections and dual pixel focus guide display, thanks to the high-speed RF mount.
Additionally, it supports PL lenses with the new Mount Adapter PL-RF and EF lenses through an optional mount adapter.
For the first time, Canon introduces a 6K full-frame back-illuminated, stacked CMOS sensor in the CINEMA EOS SYSTEM.
This sensor, combined with the DIGIC DV 7 image processing engine, allows for high frame rate recording at 6K/60P RAW and 4K/120P.
The EOS C400 excels in low-light conditions, reduces noise, and improves 4K image quality through 6K oversampling. It also features Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, ensuring rapid, accurate autofocus with excellent tracking capabilities.
The compact, lightweight design of the EOS C400 includes essential interfaces for live video production, such as GENLOCK/SYNC/RETURN and ETHERNET terminals.
Integrated functions like the tally and return functions eliminate the need for expansion units.
The camera supports the new XF-HEVC S/XF-AVC S video format, enhancing workflow efficiency by simplifying file management during filming.
Canon’s new CN7×17 KAS T/R1 and CN7×17 KAS T/P1 CINE-SERVO lenses will be available in early October 2024.
The CN7×17 KAS T/R1, featuring an RF mount, and the CN7×17 KAS T/P1, with a PL mount, are designed to meet the diverse needs of modern video production, from live sports broadcasts to virtual productions.
These lenses inherit the high optical quality of the CN7x17 KAS S model and introduce new features, including improved communication functions and the e-Xs V digital drive unit for enhanced operability.
The lenses are compatible with RF mount communications protocols, allowing for seamless integration with the EOS C400, EOS C70, and EOS R5 C cameras.
This compatibility enables advanced features such as chromatic aberration corrections, light intensity adjustments, and dual pixel focus guide operations.
The lenses also support metadata output for accurate CG compositing in real-time and post-production.
Equipped with the new e-Xs V digital drive unit, these lenses offer faster focus and iris adjustments, crucial for capturing fast-moving subjects.
They also feature a focus breathing correction function linked with the zoom function for precise adjustments.
The versatile USB Type-C terminal allows users to export and import lens settings and update firmware independently.
The new CINE-SERVO lenses offer a blend of broadcast-style operation through servo control and cinema-style manual shooting.
They support 12-pin serial communication, /i Technology from Cooke Optics, and eXtended Data from ZEISS, enhancing the efficiency of shooting and editing.
“These lenses mark a pivotal moment for DXVX as we aim to establish a strong foothold in the Asian and global markets,” said Kyu-chan Kwon, CEO of Dx&Vx Co. Ltd.
“Genomic analysis is a cornerstone of our Healthcare 4.0 vision, and through this collaboration, we are set to expand our genomic testing services and digital healthcare solutions, ultimately improving patient outcomes and advancing the field of preventive care.”
Canon‘s latest releases demonstrate their commitment to innovation in video production, offering advanced features and improved performance for a wide range of professional applications.
