whitepaper-ergonomic-operational-enhancement-eosc300markii.pdf

As shown in the two photos below – the C300 and the new C300 Mark II are physically quite similar. But, as will be outlined in this white paper and two companion papers [ 1 ] and [2] – they are radically different in their image performance and operational capabilities.

CINEMA EOS

Part 2 is the n onlinear section that entails the Opto Electronic Transfer Function (OETF) that prepares the digital signal in a manner helping to ensure that all of the HDR information can be both faithfully recorded and be transmitted via standardized interfaces to an external system. This paper will look closely at Part 1 and the implications of HDR on video signal levels. A companion white paper will examine Part 2.

EOS C300 MARK II

HDR dynamic range, wide color gamuts, up to 12-bit depth, 4:4:4 color sampling, and high progressive frame rates collectively produce 2K / HD imagery of stunning quality. Capturing all of that quality via on-board recording was a central imperative to the C300 Mark II design. As outlined inthis paper this is accomplished with a globally standardized MPEG-4 H.264 high efficiency codec operating at exceptionally high data rates.

WhitePaper-imageperformanceenhancements-eosc300markii.pdf

A companion paper [6] describes the powerful on-board recording system that faithfully captures all of that image quality. A third white paper [7] outlines the many ergonomic and operational enhancements to the C300 Mark II – most of which were based on suggestions and recommendations from many end-users of the first generation Cinema EOS camcorders.
