Selecting the Color Space
You can select the color space of the video that is output from the 3G-SDI terminal or MON. terminals. If you
select a color space with a wider range of colors than that of BT. 709, you can improve the color reproduction in
the video. When checking the output, you will need a display device that is compatible with each color space.
1 Open the [Color Space] submenu.
[~ Camera Setup] > [Color Space]
2 Select the desired option and then press SET.
• The color space of the video output from the 3G-SDI terminal and
MON. terminals will change accordingly.
Options
Operating modes:
[BT. 709]: Standard color space that is compatible with sRGB
specifications.
[DCI-P3+]: Color space that retains the hues of DCI-P3, which is a color
space whose guidelines were established by the DCI (Digital
Cinema Initiatives), and possesses a wider color gamut than
that of DCI-P3 and BT. 709 (sRGB). DCI-P3+ has good color
reproduction of subjects with high-color intensity. Because this
color space extends the gamut of high-intensity colors without
changing hues, you can use it for the DCI workflow just by
adjusting the intensity.
[C. Gamut]: Cinema Gamut. Color space developed by Canon and based
on the specific characteristics of the camera’s sensor. Features
a wider color gamut than that of DCI-P3+. Use this setting with
workflows that require ACES color space.
