Canon Unveils Camera Color-Matching Application
Software is designed streamline matching process with the CR-N700 PTZ camera
MELVILLE, N.Y.—Canon USA has announced key features and availability for its new Camera Color Matching Application, a powerful new Windows-compatible software application designed to streamline the color matching process in video production with the CR-N700 PTZ camera.
Designed for live broadcast, multicamera shoots and content creation, Canon said the Camera Color Matching Application simplifies achieving uniform color matching for Canon CR-N700 cameras to the main production camera, providing professional results with minimal effort and maximum precision.
Color consistency has always been a challenge for production teams, particularly when integrating different camera models and cameras from different manufacturers.
With the Camera Color Matching Application, Canon offers an innovative solution that automatically generates 3D LUTs by detecting color charts, helping reduce time spent on manual adjustments. This powerful yet easy-to-use application provides effortless color matching between Canon and non-Canon Cinema, Pro-video, and PTZ camera models with the Canon CR-N700 PTZ camera with professional results without the need for advanced color grading skills.
Canon also noted that the Camera Color Matching Application offers an intuitive three-step workflow:
- Capture: Shoot a color chart with the main camera and the CR-N700, saving the still images on the PC.
- Generate: The application automatically calculates the difference and generates a 3D LUT for color correction.
- Apply: The generated LUT is applied to the CR-N700, providing a seamless color match across the production.
The Canon Camera Color Matching Application is set to be available on Jan. 16 as a free download. For additional information, please visit usa.canon.com.
