Well, this came as a surprise. Canon’s foray into the display market with a 30-inch reference display specifically designed for colour grading and high quality 4K video production. One more step to confirm Canon’s commitment to videography.

Reinforcing Canon’s continued commitment to the broadcast and cinema industries, the new DP-V3010, together with Canon’s Cinema EOS System, offers a first-class input-to-output solution for 4K digital cinema and wider video production workflows.

With a technical specification designed to provide repeatable, accurate output, the DP-V3010 is optimised for use in scenarios such as colour grading, where overall image quality and consistency are of paramount importance. Its ability to natively display high resolution 4K images and a range of colour options means that the DP-V3010 is also well suited for use on-set or on location, and for other digital imaging tasks including CGI work, Computer Aided Design and 3D animation.
