“How much can I push the envelope with the C500?
I really had nothing that stopped me in the most dramatic
way I could.”

The EOS C500 4K Digital Cinema Camera is a camera with few competitors. It capitalizes on the superb
ergonomic design and incorporates the same Canon-developed Super 35mm 4K CMOS image sensor as the
EOS C300, retaining identical capabilities in terms of in-camera recording of HD video onto Compact Flash (CF)
Cards. But it is there that the similarities end.

The EOS C500 offers significantly more contemporary high-resolution motion imaging choices. The camera
supports uncompressed 2K or HD 4:4:4 RGB video components – with an additional choice of 12-bit or 10-bit
depth for each – at up to 60 progressive fps, which are externally recorded. By employing the YCbCr component-
video set at a 10-bit depth, the EOS C500 can extend that picture capture rate up to 120 fps.

In addition, anticipating the inexorable march of 4K production, this same camera can be switched to a 4K
imaging mode that is user-selectable between the cinema-centric 4096x2160 format, or the television-centric
3840x2160 UHDTV format (sometimes called QuadHD). In this imaging mode, the camera delivers a 4K RAW
output to the external recorders. But what sharply distinguishes the EOS C500 from all other 4K-capable
cameras is that this RAW video output is uniquely configured to precisely comply to the SMPTE 424M and
SMPTE ST 425-1 3G-SDI video standards. In terms of systemization, this capability offers very significant
workflow advantages.

Canon has collaborated with some of the most respected worldwide manufacturers of solid-state digital
recording systems – no less than six, at this juncture – to help ensure that end users have a broad choice in how
they record the EOS C500’s 2K/HD/4K uncompressed video outputs and manage the associated workflows.
