Canon Intros Color Matching Application for CR-N700 PTZ Camera
Software simplifies consistency with main production camera
Story Highlights
Canon U.S.A. has announced the Camera Color Matching Application, Windows-compatible software designed to streamline the color-matching process in video production with the CR-N700 PTZ camera. Whether it’s for live broadcast, multicamera shoots, or content creation, Camera Color Matching Application simplifies the task of achieving uniform color matching Canon CR-N700 cameras to the main production camera.
Color consistency is a challenge for production teams, particularly when integrating different camera models and cameras from different manufacturers. The application detects color charts to automatically generate 3D LUTs, helping reduce the time spent on manual adjustment. Designed to be easy to use, it provides color matching between the Canon CR-N700 PTZ camera and both Canon and non-Canon cinema, pro-video, and PTZ camera models without the need for advanced color-grading skills.
A key feature of the Camera Color Matching Application is an intuitive three-step workflow:
- Capture. Shoot a color chart with 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 currently scheduled to be available on Jan. 16 as a free download. For additional information, visit usa.canon.com.
