On-set Operational Systemization
`
It is especially noteworthy that the operational capabilities of the C300 Mark have been further
enhanced with an innovative on-set systemization that encompasses the new Canon 4K
Reference Display DP V2410.
A single 3G SDI interface transfers the 4K RAW output of the
C300 Mark II to the display DP V2410 which internally deBayers this to facilitate live-on-set
viewing.
That same signal can be looped through the display and sent to a video village or
directly to an external RAW recorder (of which there are now many choices that handle the
Canon 4K RAW signal format).
This same reference display can perform on-set grading of that
RAW signal within an in-built ACES color space.
The grading settings are recorded as ASC
CDL files on a thumbdrive plugged into the display.
The C300 Mark II can also deliver a 10-bit
ACESproxy output [4] via the SDI that can be an alternate for color grading within the display.
