Canon has expanded its professional line-up with the launch of the Canon Remote Controller RC-V100 a new wired remote control unit for its range of professional video cameras. Joining the new remote is also a host of new firmware upgrades that add new functionality to Canons world class series of EF and cinema lenses and cinema EOS cameras.
The RC-V100 offers greater creative flexibility for Canon camcorder users by expanding the scope of possible installation locations and increasing compatibility with multi-camera shoots, freeing DoPs and cameramen to concentrate on getting the shot they really need.
Providing access to any in-camera function using the standard operating menus, the RC-V100 features dedicated interfaces that allow users control of common settings such as iris, zoom and white balance, whilst a number of more advanced adjustments, such as knee point/slope and master pedestal, can also be made directly. Support for custom settings is provided in the form of four buttons that mirror the operation of assignable camera buttons 1-4 on the body itself.
Our customers are constantly inspiring us with their creativity and desire to use our products in new and different ways sometimes in ways we didnt expect. We really want to feed this creativity by expanding shooting possibilities even further, and this has resulted in the development of the new Canon Remote Controller RC-V100, said Hendrik Verbrugghe, Marketing Director, Canon Middle East. The customer feedback we receive is invaluable to us, and we hope that the addition of this new remote will enable even more of our customers to realise their vision.
At launch, the Canon Remote Controller RC-V100 wired remote will be compatible with a range of Canon professional video cameras and Cinema EOS cameras, including the XF300-series, EOS C100, EOS C300 and EOS C500. A free firmware update will be required to provide compatibility with models announced prior to the launch of the new remote control.
