Canon’s stand reflects the huge changes that the industry has experienced in the past few years, with a growing need for streamlined crews and low-cost content creation resulting in the rise of remote and virtual production systems.
Virtual production in today’s physical world means creating in-camera stunning backdrops and immersive environments for live action talent to interact with for feature film and television projects. Volumetric video capture (VVC), as it’s called, refers to creating 3D CG from images taken by multiple cameras, and using this data to produce video that looks like it has been shot at a real location. Dedicated studios that cater to this market are popping up around the world as production companies see the value and efficiencies it brings.

The new EnGo 3x 5G transmitter provides reliable 4K UHD video transmission and multi-camera production in the field; and the new WayPoint 3 receiver decodes HEVC or AVC, outputting in resolutions of up to 4K UHD.
The company will also be showing its full range of semi and fully-autonomous systems highlighted by SmartPed, the company’s flagship fully robotic pedestal, and SmartRail – the world’s leading rail camera system.
