Canon has announced several firmware upgrades for its EOS C500 and EOS C300 Digital Cinema Cameras, DP-V3010 4K reference display and
Cinema Raw Development software, most of which will better integrate
acquisition and management of 4K footage into every workflow situation (except
the C300 of course, which doesn’t do 4K).
Principal amongst them is support for the recently defined ITU
BT.2020 colour space for Ultra HD production. This will be most noticeable on
the 30-inch DP-V3010 4K professional reference display. The BT.2020 input
signals will be mapped to the native colour space of the DP-V3010 for output,
to ensure that images are displayed with the widest possible colour gamut and
the greatest possible accuracy. Of course, BT.2020 support starts with the
camera, so the C500 will be able to create it too.
