17" Canon DP-V1710 UHD 4K Reference Display

The Canon DP-V1710 UHD 4K Reference Display is a compact and rugged display. It supports UHD (3840 X 2160) and 4K signals for use in broadcast and cinema workflows where high mobility is needed. The DP-V1710 is equipped with a Remote (parallel mode) terminal, which means that it can be controlled remotely by a switcher or other device. This helps make this display indispensable for supporting 4K in existing outside broadcast vans.

The innovative Canon-designed white LED backlight with its IPS panel facilitates a wide-viewing angle, and the anti-glare coating helps improve on-set visibility. It also features a specially developed image-processing engine to help produce uniform brightness. The DP-V1710 utilizes the same high image quality technology found in Canon's other reference displays so you can rely on a consistent look throughout the entire workflow, using any combination from the Canon Reference Display line.

The DP-V1710 works with a variety of workflows, including a link up with ARRI ALEXA SXT camera systems for cinema productions, while its size and full feature set help make it a superb choice for broadcast productions both on set and in broadcast vans and studios.

Supporting broadcast/digital cinema EOTFs, as well as Canon's own proprietary Canon Log/2/3, and the latest HDR EOTFs, Hybrid Log-Gamma (ITU-R BT.2100) and SMPTE ST 2084, the DP-V1710 is also packed with an abundant selection of functions for supporting HDR production.

Featuring an aluminum frame design for rigidity and strength, the reference display weighs less than 18 pounds. Importantly, its EIA 19” rack mount compatibility (7U) means it can replace existing FHD displays and is considerably easier to install than other larger 4K displays. It can be powered by 100-240V AC or 12VDC for additional flexibility.

Supports HDR Production

HDR / SDR Split Screen Display

The DP-V1710 UHD 4K Reference Display supports split-screen display of HDR and SDR signals. Since video can be displayed simultaneously on the left and right screens, differences in luminance ranges and gradation/brightness can be compared at a glance, thus allowing HDR shooting to be conducted with more confidence and efficiency.

Various other features can be combined to make HDR production easier to perform: Range Compression Display according to specific production applications, Clipped Display, Camera Information Display, and Waveform Monitor Display.

The DP-V1710 fits inside 19" racks making it an excellent choice for broadcast vans that are subject to space and weight restrictions.

HDR-Compatible Waveform Monitor Display

The waveform monitor can be selected to display HDR scales (e.g. SMPTE ST 2084 nit) or Canon Log (%) for maximum flexibility in HDR production.

HDR Range Variable Adjustment Function

Variable adjustment of the HDR range is possible to suit specific applications. For example, the dynamic range of the HDR standard signal or LOG signal can be displayed to fit within the luminance supported by the display main unit (range compression), or required actual luminance parts of the range can be displayed with the highlight range area excluded (range upper limit clipping). Desired values can also be registered in advance to function buttons or channel buttons. This lets you call up respective HDR standard videos for confirmation by one-touch operation.

HDR Meta Information Display

Metadata information (color gamut, gamma, maximum luminance, average luminance maximum value of content) from PCs for HDMI-compatible video editing and Blu-ray players, cameras and other devices can be displayed on screen.

This is useful for appropriate HDR productions since videos can be monitored while confirming the HDR information at the same time.

Superb Black Levels

The DP-V1710 UHD 4K Reference Display provides a black level superior to older CRT displays. What's more, by ensuring accurate gradation precision afforded by liquid crystal displays, a higher black reproduction can be achieved compared with that of CRT displays and OLEDs, on which black defects are likely to occur in the shadow areas, thus helping to improve video production quality.

Integrate with ARRI Camera Systems

The DP-V1710 UHD 4K Reference Display has important features for cinema style applications as well.

Camera Link-Up

The Camera Link-Up feature of the reference display allows seamless linking to the ARRI ALEXA SXT camera system, providing for increased flexibility on-set for camera assistants and DITs.

Camera Information Displays

When an ARRI Camera system is connected to the DP-V1710, the camera's metadata can be obtained, and its contents can be displayed. This means that camera set up and confidence checks during shooting can all be done on the reference display itself rather than on the camera's viewfinder or display. This allows checks without disturbing the operator and increases on set flexibility. (This feature is available when the 3G/HD-SDI format has been selected by ARRI Camera system.)

Camera Image Quality Link-up

An image quality link-up function automatically switches the image quality of the display based on the camera's meta information. This function is established while the ARRI Camera system is connected to the DP-V1710. The fact that the image quality settings are linked automatically for the camera and for the display means that setting errors can be minimized.

Pre-Set Log

Presetting by Cinema EOS System's Canon Log/Canon Log2/Canon Log3 and the ARRI Log C video display are also supported. Log C is preset to the main unit menu. So, all you have to do to check image quality is connect to the camera without having to go through the trouble of adding on any special LUTs.

On-Set LUT and CDL Functions

The DP-V1710 UHD 4K Reference Display allows you to set multiple LUTs (8) for each picture mode, same as the DP-V2410 and DP-V2420.

As a result, users can select up to eight LUTs in one picture mode for improved convenience. In addition, presets from CDL1 to CDL15 and a CDL details setting screen have been added. Users can also change the name settings for CDL1 to CDL15.

Faithful Color Reproduction Supporting 4K Cinema and UHD 4K Broadcast Standards

Broadcast and Cinema Standards of ITU-R BT.2020 and ACES2065-1 Supported.

The display has a Direct-type white LED backlight and IPS liquid crystal panel in order to achieve the high-image-quality performance that is optimally suited for the shooting locations. In addition to satisfying a multiple number of the latest broadcast standards such as ITU-R BT.709, EBU and SMPTE-C as well as the latest DCI-P3 digital cinema standard, it also meets the next-generation standards of ITU-R BT.2020 and ACESproxy, the transmission standards of ACES whose color management standard is advocated by AMPAS.

High Accuracy Uniformity

The DP-V1710 UHD 4K Reference Display achieves the same level of high-accuracy uniformity as the DP-V3010, DP-V2410 and DP-V2420 reference displays. By incorporating a proprietary image processor developed for use in displays to enable fine-tuned adjustments, any color and luminance unevenness on the screen can be prevented and high-accuracy uniformity can be achieved.

Smooth and Accurate Gradation Characteristics for each RGB Color

The high-accuracy display processor enables accurate gradation displays.

Image Enhancement Function

The DP-V1710 UHD 4K Reference Display has an array of image functions that give users the ability to control and modify the display's features and customize the overall look. 

High Resolution

The DP-V1710 features a panel with a 3840 x 2160 resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio. It can display signals compliant with the digital cinema and high-definition TV broadcast standards on a dot-by-dot basis in exhaustive detail. It makes its three expanded display modes available for 2K or full-HD video productions as well. In this way, it can be used as a FHD/2K/4K display in a wide range of applications, and it contributes to improving the efficiency of 4K/full-HD video production workflows.

Shape Trace

The DP-V1710 is equipped with three types of screen scaling functions, including the Canon Shape Tracing technology™ an original shape-tracing technology that helps to minimize artifacts on images scaled on the DP-V1710. Using the Canon Shape Tracing technology, the DP-V1710 detects the angles of hard edges and selects an appropriate interpolation to help provide smooth diagonal lines and optimal image rendering, further extending the display's application during location/studio shoots and within color-grading, DI, CGI, VFX and other post-production workflows.

Shooting Assistance Tools

2-Sample Interleave

2-Sample Interleave is supported. This technology transmits up to four sub-imagers (2K/HD) that are obtained by dividing a 4K signal into 2-pixel units and re-assembling these together to make a 4K display. This also differs from Square Division in that, since images that are slightly out of position are sent, the angle of view can be confirmed even on 2K/HD monitors by displaying one of four inputs.

2/4 Split Screen Display Compatibility

In the 2 split-screen display mode, the picture mode can be set independently on displays A and B. And, in the 2 split-screen display/4 split screen display mode, display of the division lines can be switched on and off. The camera information can be displayed at only one location (i.e. one input).

Maintaining Consistency in Color Image Quality

In order to maintain consistent high image quality the DP-V1710 UHD 4K Reference Display utilizes built-in auto-correct functions that consistently monitor color, brightness, and other parameters that keep the display at a high level of uniformity at all times. These functions include:

Automatic Luminance Correction System
The DP-V1710 comes with Canon's proprietary control system that is used to correct the fluctuations in luminance and help ensure accurate, stable performance over time.

Calibration Without a PC
The DP-V1710 achieves the same high level of stability as the DP-V3010/DP-V2410.

In cases where color shifting or other problems have occurred due to the deterioration experienced over the years, accurate corrections can be made using the external sensor (CA-210/CA-310 from Konica Minolta) without having to use a PC. 

Precise Color Adjustment Prior to Shipment

In order to achieve high color uniformity, each DP-V1710 undergoes a high-precision calibration process before shipping from the factory. External calibration allows users to maintain factory settings as well as make adjustments for specific display applications.

Easy-to-Use Tailored OSD Menus 

While carrying over the proven operability of the DP-V2410 UHD 4K Reference Display, Canon has reduced the size of the OSD menu displays to the size that is optimally suited for the operation range. The information is easy to read yet does not really obstruct the display of the images on the screen.

Assignable Function Buttons
Specific functions can be registered to the function buttons in accordance with the intended applications. These functions can then be accessed immediately at the touch of a button.

Easy-to-Use Control Area
The control area with its function buttons factors in different scenarios for shooting at many different locations, and it is extremely easy to use. The buttons and jog dial are laid out in the same positions as they are on the DP-V2410 display. The labels and buttons on the front panel control area are illuminated to enable operation even in dark places.

If operations are to be performed at a location away from the main unit, users can connect the color grading system using the LAN connector or connect a color grading controller using the USB connector.
