Canon showcases a world of new possibilities at IBC 2015

The International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) show held at the RAI conference and exhibition centre in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, from 11-15 September, was packed with broadcast and filmmaking technology and Canon really made its presence felt with its 4K HDR workflow, groundbreaking 4 million ISO camera, new 4K broadcast lenses and much more, as CPN Editor David Corfield discovered… 

Canon’s commitment to its various industry partners was highly visible at this year’s IBC Show and workflow was the central theme on a newly-designed stand which reflected its ‘Come and See’ message.

Wider aisles and better access to ‘touch and try’ equipment along with shooting and grading zones featuring Canon products used by third parties allowed visitors to really see a wide variety of technical advances. The new ME20F-SH Full HD low-light video camera, which was being demonstrated in a special darkened room, also got everyone buzzing with its incredible ISO 4 million capability and proved to be a star attraction.

20,000 megapixel image by David Bergman using EOS 5Ds R (Canon Expo 2015)

David Bergman, who was recently made a Canon “Explorer of Light”, shot an incredible project for the Canon Expo 2015. Equipped with an [shoplink 27766]EOS 5Ds R[/shoplink] he took 825 photos of the Yankee Stadium, 50 megapixels each, which he sticked together during a long and intensive post processing. But the result was worth the effort. The final picture has a resolution of 20,000 megapixel, making it the biggest picture of a live event ever shot! The detail is sheerly astonishing.

Bergman also said he was really happy with the Canon equipment.

Check out the video above where he talks about the photo and explains how he did it.
