Canon’s DP-V2410
promises to
deliver “stunning”
4K 4096x2160
resolution with
incredibly
accurate colour
reproduction,
facilitating live
shooting for
quality control,
focusing and
exposure

as well as

sional-use 8K reference display that will
support the production of next-generation
8K video content, along with a DSLR-
equipped with a CMOS sensor featuring
approximately 120 million effective pixels.
Through the further enhancement of the
Cinema EOS System 8K camera and with a
professional-use 8K reference display under
development, Canon aims to contribute to
smooth production workflows, facilitating
not only the input and output of 8K video
content, but also processes such as 8K to
4K/UHD down-conversion and 4K/UHD
cropping.
While Canon is focusing on 4K/UHD
and 8K display monitors, Panasonic, on the
other hand, has launched a series of glass-
free 4K/UHD displays aimed at the rental
and staging markets.
The glass-free versions of the 98-inch
and 84-inch LED LCD panels (TH-98LQ70L
& TH-84LQ70L) sit alongside the company’s
existing large 4K/UHD displays. Panasonic
says the decision to add the LQ70L models
was based on requests from the rental indus-
try for a lighter and brighter version, gained
by the removal of the protection glass.
Like the existing models, the displays
offer 3840x2160 resolution and include
Panasonic’s new generation of image en-
hancement technology for fine, life-like
images.
The new display monitors have in-built
3D-LUT colour correction and six-axis co-
lour correction, a special latticed aluminium
frame to resist twisting, while portrait ori-
entation is also possible without any effect
on the screen.
The displays can also upconvert non-
4K/UHD sources to a higher level of image
quality and moving images, which were pre-
viously difficult to compensate, concluded
Panasonic.
If color is important to
you, make sure your
connectivity is pixel
perfect.

Expanding the selection of 4K/UHD
cinema production displays that pro-
fessionals can choose from, the new
DP-V2410 features a Canon-developed
image-processing engine for display usea as
well as an RGB LED backlight system and
a newly developed IPS LCD panel, which
combine to deliver “faithful” colour repro-
duction and high-resolution, high-contrast
images.
Designed for use on location, the new
DP-V2410 features a carry handle to allow
for easy movability from set to set. Its
compact, lightweight, design and robust
construction gives it enhanced mobility,
making the display ideal for use on location
during shooting, as well as for cinematic
works, dramas and television commercials.
At approximately 12kg, the display is about
50% lighter than the DP-V3010, reports
Canon.
Johnny Ng, from Canon Singapore’s
Professional Business Development
Department, Regional ICP Sales and
Marketing Division, South and South-east
Asia, tells APB that the monitors have been
launched in China, the US and Europe, but
has not been launched yet in South and
South-east Asia. However, he points out
that Canon showcased the 30-inch monitor
at BroadcastAsia2014 and both the 24- and
30-inch monitors at BroadcastAsia2015.
Customer feedback — from production
and post-production houses — in the region
has been positive as well, says Ng, as Canon
begins to “soft sell” the two 4K/UHD mon-
itors across Asia.
But even as Canon is soft selling these
4K/UHD monitors, the company an-
nounced that it is developing for its Cinema
EOS System line, a 8K camera and profes-
