MELVILLE, N.Y., Apr 02, 2014 (BUSINESS WIRE) –
Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions shared today
that its parent company, Canon Inc., announced a software upgrade for
the EOS C500 digital cinema camera (launched in October 2012), part of
Canonâs Cinema EOS System lineup of professional digital cinematography
products, that will enable users to realize more efficient on-set
production workflows. The Company plans to offer the free-of-charge
Cinema RAW Development software upgrade* starting in October 2014.
The new Cinema RAW Development 1.3 software, currently under
development, will deliver enhanced shooting workflows, including the
on-set playback and confirmation of 4K RAW video, when using the EOS
C500 camera.
Through collaboration with Intel, Cinema RAW Development 1.3 will
realize improved performance using a beta version of the Intel Media SDK
2014 Professional Camera Pack, making possible faster development of 4K
Cinema RAW data when using a PC equipped with Intel Iris Pro graphics.
Canonâs 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 to Canonâs Cinema RAW Development 1.3 software,
compatible with the Intel Media SDK 2014 Professional Camera Pack, and a
PC with Intel Iris Pro graphics, Canon users will be able to more
quickly preview their 4K video footage while on a shoot.
Executive quote from Intel
âThrough our close collaboration with Canon, Intel is excited to be able
to deliver highly accelerated 4K playback performance on a mobile PC
with Intel Iris Pro graphics,â said Christos Georgiopoulos, vice
president, Software and Services Group general manager, Developer
Relations Division, Intel Corporation.
