Canon Announces Free Software Upgrade for the EOS C500 Camera That ...




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

Canon’s 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.

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 to Canon’s 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



“Through 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,” said Christos Georgiopoulos, vice

president, Software and Services Group general manager, Developer

Relations Division, Intel Corporation.



About Cinema RAW Development



Cinema RAW Development software enables 4K Cinema RAW footage shot with

external recorder to be converted into DPX and other standard file

formats and output for image previewing and editing.



Demonstration at 2014 NAB Show



Canon will demonstrate a trial version of Cinema RAW Development 1.3

using an Intel Iris Pro graphics-powered PC at the Canon NAB 2014

exhibit, Central Hall Booth No. C-4325 from Monday, April 7 through
