MELVILLE, N.Y., Sept. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon
U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital
imaging solutions, today announced the launch of the DP-V3120,
a new 31-inch professional 4K
reference display that possesses an
industry-leading* edge-to-edge luminance of up to
2,000 cd/m2 and a black level of 0.001 cd/m2.
This combination creates a contrast ratio of an astounding
2000000:1**. When combined with the benefits of Canon's
award-winning HDR Toolkit, this display delivers a powerful
combination of features and utilities for high-end HDR and
4K production workflows.
"HDR content is the latest frontier in creating television and
movies that more closely resemble the look and feel of the world
around us," said Kazuto Ogawa,
president and COO, Canon U.S.A.,
Inc. "With the new DP-V3120 4K
Reference Display, Canon is equipping postproduction houses with
the high brightness, rich black levels and high contrast ratio
which helps properly monitor and develop video with high dynamic
range. Together with the built-in suite of utilities that comprise
our HDR Toolkit, we have created the proverbial total package for
HDR production."
The DP-V3120 features a display engine, improved local dimming
algorithm and LED backlighting system designed by Canon and an IPS
LCD panel. The color reproduction, high resolution and high
contrast featured on the display enable accurate checking of
content captured in 4K and/or
HDR.
The DP-V3120 exceeds the Dolby Vision™ required monitor
specifications*** including General Monitor
Specifications and Grey Scale Reproduction to meet the requirement
of Dolby Vision™ certified post-production facilities. With
this achievement, Canon further proves its ability to support the
efficient production of high-quality visual content and meet the
various needs of content production workflows.
The display also features 12G-SDI terminals (four IN and four
OUT) to enable simultaneous comparing of HDR and SDR content in
dual view mode, multiple video inputs in quad view mode, or up to
an 8K input signal. Other functions
include the HDR Toolkit, featuring HDR capable vectorscope,
waveform monitor and histogram. False color analysis, pixel level
value checking and split screen HDR versus SDR comparison are also
possible. In addition, the DP-V3120's LAN interface allows the
display to be controlled remotely over a network using a web
browser.
Pricing and Availability
The DP-V3120 is currently
scheduled to be available in November for an estimated retail price
of $39,000****. For more
