A new Cinema EOS Firmware update is being introduced to strengthen the capabilities for the Live and mid-to-low end broadcast market, for both the EOS C500 Mark II and EOS C300 Mark III – enabling both cameras to be used within live environments and workflows. Key updates include:
• Implementing XC protocol: integration into multi-camera solutions, supporting direct control via RC-IP100 and ethernet connections.
• Strengthening of AF features: 120p / 100p AF support, alongside face detection during Slow and Fast Shooting Mode.
• Audio 4ch display: the audio level display will show all four audio channelswhen this mode is selected.
• Support for Frame.IO’s C2C (Camera to Cloud) service: rapid transfer of video files for collaborative working, sharing, feedback and direction – as well as a cloud to camera transfer service.
• New accessory and lens support: allowing the EOS C500 Mark II and EOS C300 Mark III to work perfectly with both the CN8x15 IASS E1/P1 and EU-V3, as well as support for the Flex Zoom series of lenses.
EU-V3: Modular expansion unit for live production, compatible with the EOS C500 Mark II and EOS C300 Mark III
With the increased move towards large format sensor cameras for broadcast, events and live sports production – providingviewers with a unique perspective when watching their favourite teams play – Canon has listened to user requirements withthe EU-V3expansion module for both the EOS C500 Mark II and EOS C300 Mark III. Building on both cameras’ modular design, it expands and supports specific functionality for multi-camera and live productions.
The EU-V3offers an exclusive SDI return feature, allowing real-time monitoring of a live broadcast feed from a production switcher. The return output destination can be selected from the VIDEO, EVF-V50, MON/HDMI and SDI-OUT terminals.The EU-V3 also enables Tally support via Ethernet, using XC protocol – when the extension unit receives a Tally signal, lights on the camera body can be utilised, a Tally On-Screen display is shown, and it can relay the signal to an external device via Hirose 4-pin. Both the SDI Return and Tally functions are essential for informing camera operators of when their camera feed is live and the current status of the production.
The lens focus position can also be displayed on-screen when using the EU-V3– with compatiblebroadcast and Cine-Servo lenses via 12-pin communication. The Focus Position Meter, which users can choose to display along the top or right side of the screen,allows users to register multiple focus positions on a distance scale and highlights when focus is achieved during manual operation – such as when selecting the finish line for a race.
The EU-V3 can be combined with the CN8x15 IASS E1/P1, on both the EOS C500 Mark II and EOS C300 Mark III.
