MELVILLE, NY — Canon USA (http://usa.canon.com) is expanding its portfolio of reference display products with the introduction of the new DP-V2410 4K reference display. Measuring 24-inches diagonally and weighing approximately 26lbs., the DP-V2410 is designed to be easily transportable for on-set production of 4K/UHD and 2K/HD programming. The display is housed within a sturdy metal frame that includes handles and adjustable feet that facilitate rapid setup in any shooting environment. It features a 24V DC input.
The display’s 17:9 10-bit In-Plane Switching panel features a high level of sharpness and deep and accurate black reproduction, along with a 2000:1 contrast ratio. An anti-glare coating helps ensure faithful image reproduction within challenging environments often encountered on-set.
A Canon-designed RGB LED backlight system and specially developed high-bit depth image processing engine helps ensure uniform brightness and accurate DCI-P3 color reproduction. The display panel and associated digital video processing offer two modes of HDR portrayal. In addition, the internal debayering facilitates direct live viewing of the uncompressed raw 4K/2K outputs of the EOS C500 and EOS C300 Mark II cameras.
The DP-V2410 supports the new Canon Log 2 incorporated in the EOS C300 Mark II cinema camera, enabling on-set viewing of the camera’s possible 15 stops of dynamic range. The Cinema EOS System Link feature, which provides camera information displays and camera image quality linkup when using Cinema EOS cameras, is possible with the reference display, even when using recorders not equipped with processing capabilities.
The DP-V2410 supports the ACESproxy (ACES System Ver. 1.0) transfer standard for the ACES (Academy Color Encoding System) color management standard advocated by AMPAS (the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences). When used in combination with input devices supporting the ACESproxy standard, the DP-V2410 can deliver consistent color reproduction both on-set and during the editing process.
The DP-V2410’s eight LUTs can be configured for each picture mode, allowing the user to freely switch LUTs within the same picture mode, making it easy to compare the display’s false color function allowing different colors to be displayed based on differences in brightness. This assists in camera exposure adjustment and visually monitoring the exposure status. The zoom function can be used in one of two ways: cinema professionals can zoom in on the center of the screen or expand a selected portion of the screen from a four-screen layout. In addition, the display’s Capture Function can capture screen shots of images that are currently displayed on the screen and save them as an image file, as well as 4K waveform monitor, vector scope, peaking, audio level meter and area markers.
An HDMI terminal allows linking capabilities with digital cameras for transmission of 4,096x2,160 60p images via a single cable. With the built-in debayering function, the DP-V2410 is capable of frame rates of up to 4K 30p in Raw over a single 3G-SDI cable or up to 4K 60p in Raw when using two 3G-SDI cables when capturing footage with Cinema EOS System cameras. The display also features four input and four output 3G/HD-SDI ports and one stereo headphone mini-jack, which is a new feature to Canon’s 4K reference displays.
Canon hopes to deliver the DP-V2410 in November for a suggested list price of $18,000. In addition, a new firmware update for the Canon DP-V3010 is scheduled to be available in November. The DP-V3010’s direct sales price is now $24,999.
