Post is where your vision becomes reality. With the EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL your image files can accommodate just about anything post-production
can throw at them. A unique CMOS sensor rivals 3-chip performance, breaking out clean HD bandwidth RGB signals without the algorithmic distortions associated with a debayering process. Canon’s robust XF Codec supports HD
1920x1080 resolution, harnessing MPEG-2 4:2:2 compression at 50 megabits per second. All to realize the aesthetic look you seek.
Whether making rough cuts from clips recorded on one camera or integrating time-coded shots from a number of synched cameras, professionals are completely dependent on the image quality coming off the camera to achieve the final look they envisioned. With NLE, digital special effects and post-production processes, image files need to hold up to multiple changes and multiple saves, multiple times. The Canon EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL deliver incredibly high quality images with its full 4:2:2 XF Codec, creating digital files robust enough for major post-production.
The EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL use versatile MPEG-2 compression, saving files in the Material eXchange Format (MXF). The MXF format folds video and audio into a single file together with important metadata for seamless integration with top NLE systems and post-production tools for compos- iting, color correcting, grading and more. The EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL codec supports HD 1920x1080 resolution, a class-leading 50Mbps bit rate and 4:2:2 component sampling. 4:2:2 sampling give EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL image files double the color vertical resolution of 4:2:0 color sampling, minimizing jagged edges between red and blue and ensuring ample quality for chroma key compositing with green screens.
Conforming to industry HD standards is another definitive advantage of the EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL. Non-standard technologies require extra time and money that few productions can afford. Canon standards and specs make post-production seamless and simple – the world over.
