NAB '12: A Closer Look at the Canon C500

I stepped over to the Canon booth today to get a little hands-on time with the Canon C500. The camera has many of the same features found in the C300, but with the addition of 4K output. The camera can output a 4K RAW video stream up to 60p in 4096x2160 mode, and 120fps in 4096x1080 mode. It can also output a quad HD signal for monitoring.

Three recorders have been announced that will work with this signal, the Codex recorders, the Gemini RAW and AJA's Ki Pro Quad. We also got to see some footage from the C500 on Canon's 4K monitors, and we were very impressed.

Stay tuned for future blogs on Canon's latest cameras.

Convergent Design's Odyssey7Q is a versatile recorder/monitor that's a perfect match for the Canon C500. The Odyssey7Q acts as a great onboard monitor and is capable of recording multiple formats from multiple cameras, but when paired with the C500, it allows for 4K Raw, 2K and HD external recording. What's especially useful with this combo is the ability to record 4K Raw externally, while at the same time recording HD internally with matched filenames.
