Canon returns to ISE 2024 to Showcase easy-to-use Video Solutions

Canon returns to ISE 2024 to showcase easy-to-use video solutions for the education and corporate sectors

London, UK, 9 January 2024 – Canon Europe today announces the solutions-based propositions to be showcased at Integrated Systems Europe 2024 (ISE), the world’s largest AV systems integration show. The four-day convention will take place from Tuesday 30 January to Friday 02 February at Fira Barcelona, Spain.

With an impressive line-up of PTZ cameras, controllers, large sensor camcorders, VR/AR and EOS R cameras, Canon will demonstrate how its AV solutions are easy and intuitive to use across educational, virtual production and corporate environments such as video conferencing seminars and in-house studios.

Corporate Multi-Cam

Canon will present its position on the convergence of broadcast and AV – put simply, how it provides solutions for live streaming during corporate productions such as keynote speeches.

Working with multiCAM Systems and Skaarhoj, Canon will present two multi-cam set-ups, both entry-level and professional, to highlight the ability of its cameras emphasising ease-of-use.

Virtual Reality for Education

Technical courses, particularly within the medical and engineering fields, can require students to be physically present – but Canon has the solution for when that is just not possible.

In partnership with Canon Medical, it will show how VR solutions can aid teaching in situations which are difficult to replicate online. In this zone, the EOS R5 C and Dual Fisheye lens will be used in a classroom environment to create immersive content for medical training.

Virtual Production

Featuring Brainstorm and Alfalite, Canon will collate a mix of its imaging technology – utilising both green screen and LED walls as a virtual backdrop – to show how both entry-level and high-end cameras can be used for scalable virtual production scenarios.

PTZ Wall

Canon will create a ‘wall’ of PTZ cameras to demonstrate how its tech can support the AV channel through its intelligent AF system for a broad range of productions - especially in higher education and corporate settings to improve hybrid working spaces.

Demonstrating Canon's industry leading Auto Focus in the PTZ range – the renowned Dual Pixel CMOS Auto Focus features Canon’s deep learning and intelligent tracking technology EOS iTR AF X as well as powerful Hybrid Auto Focus systems that perform well even in low light situations – offering a user-friendly solution. Alongside audio companies Sennheiser and Shure, Canon will demonstrate how the PTZ camera range works seamlessly alongside an existing sound system to create an efficient automated meeting environment.

With an increased need for flexibility within higher education when it comes to communication between lecturers and their students, Canon will also present its Auto Tracking Application. Once integrated with the Canon Auto Tracking App, the PTZ cameras can automatically track presenters during university lectures or similar, meaning there is no need for a camera operator.

Automated Photography

With the need growing among many e-commerce and online retailers to take high quality product photos in-house, Canon has partnered with OrbitVu to showcase how its photography ecosystem can streamline the process.

ISE runs from 30 January – 02 February 2024, at Fira Barcelona, Spain. Find Canon in Hall 3 at stand 3B300. For more information, please visit: www.canon-europe.com/events/ise

Canon partners with researchers to restore global coral reefs

Coral spawned at the Coral Spawning Lab, Morden

London, UK, 5 January 2024 – Today, Canon Europe announces its partnership with the Coral Spawning Lab in Morden, London. A team of researchers have joined forces to study and better understand the life cycles of coral reefs, to equip communities across the world with the information and tools needed to enable them to regenerate coral ecosystems. This has resulted in the team producing the world’s first ever predictable broadcast coral spawning in a completely closed system.

Imaging equipment, including state-of-the-art cameras and lenses, supplied by Canon will be used to create a database of photographic activity that can be used by the researchers to monitor and optimise the coral spawning process. According to the United Nations, coral reefs are a vital natural resource that provide an estimated $2.7 trillion in services a year - including generating tourism revenue, supplying raw materials for life-saving medicines, and helping to ensure food security. Despite their immense value, coral reefs are under threat from the damaging effects of climate change, with warnings that reefs could decline by 70-90 per cent if temperatures rise above pre-industrial levels. This would have devastating consequences for our planet's ecosystem.

Canon’s imaging tools will enable the researchers to track the progress of each new ‘plug’ of coral, document different embryological stages, track mortality rates, among other key markers of growth. Crucially, the team will be able to accurately document how the coral’s lifecycle plays a role in the restoration of reefs around the world. The research will also be open source, empowering local communities to leverage the insights and knowledge to ensure reefs survive for generations to come.

“As an organisation that is committed to protecting the environment, we are excited to work with the talented team of researchers at the Coral Spawning Lab. It is heartening to see our state-of-the-art imaging equipment being used to help in the restoration and resilience of coral reefs across the world, a species that is crucial in the maintenance of a healthy ecosystem. Indeed, it is a great example of how organisations can be actively involved in maintaining the health of global biodiversity,” said Peter Bragg, Sustainability and Government Affairs Director at Canon EMEA.

“At the lab we’re trying to replicate nature, but we’ve got so much more control. We are evaluating flow rates, feeding regimes, strength of lighting – what’s working, what’s not working. The Equipment supplied by Canon is what allows us to meticulously monitor the lifecycle of the coral, as well as helping us amplify our work to the world. We probably have a window of no more than eight years left to restore global coral reefs. If we don’t make a big impact by then, it is possibly too late”, said Dr Michael Sweet, Co-Founder of Coral Spawning Lab and Professor in Aquatic Biology at the University of Derby.

We are committed to working together to create a more sustainable world for the people and wildlife on the planet. Our partnership with the Coral Spawning Lab is an excellent opportunity to help protect global biodiversity and can be viewed as one of our ‘nature positive’ initiatives taking place across Canon Group.

Canon’s Innovative Technology Takes Flight at CES® 2024

Canon’s Innovative Technology Takes Flight at CES® 2024, Bringing Guests on a Journey Beyond the Destination

Canon U.S.A. has created an immersive experience for CES 2024 in which attendees will use Canon Innovation to step inside an adventure with a world of possibilities

MELVILLE, N.Y., January 4, 2024 — Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, will charter a new path at CES 2024 with an immersive journey that takes guests on an adventure far beyond the show floor by honing in on a travel theme. Right now, the travel category is soaring, officially eclipsing pre-2020 levels for the first time.1 At CES, Canon will look to display its innovative technologies and how it can elevate its end-users’ experience with its 2024 theme “Journey Beyond the Destination,” allowing visitors of Canon’s CES exhibit to experience the magic of travel virtually.

Canon's upcoming travel show "Now Boarding: Argentina" starts with a pilot episode that follows actress, producer, and author Lily Collins on a 3-day adventure to Argentina. The show is produced in partnership with 101 Studios, creators of hit series “Yellowstone”, “1923” & “Lawmen: Bass Reeves.”

“At its core, Canon technology is about bringing people together so they can share life’s experiences, for moments ranging from the everyday to the once-in-a-lifetime,” said Isao “Sammy” Kobayashi, president and CEO, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “Canon is very excited for the journey our CES guests will explore, to showcase the way our innovations bring people closer than they could have imagined — to each other, and to the world around them.”

Capture Beyond the Destination: Visual Storytelling Equipment

In the CES booth, attendees will experience some of Canon’s virtual reality innovations, explore content creation technology, and engage with the cameras and lenses used in Canon’s upcoming original travel pilot, “Now Boarding: Argentina,” filmed on Canon’s Cinema EOS C300 Mark III, EOS R6 II, EOS R50 and PowerShot V10 cameras. At this section of the Canon booth, users will see real-world examples of how the products are used at the cinematic, professional, and consumer levels. By taking a journey through this array of world-class imaging technology, guests will learn how Canon brings the adventure home to share with others.

Connect Beyond the Destination: Kokomo by Canon

Kokomo by Canon is a revolutionary immersive virtual reality software that will allow CES guests to feel like they’re a part of Canon’s travel content. At the Canon CES booth, visitors will step into the Kokomo journey to participate in a travel-themed virtual scavenger hunt. Attendees will see how Kokomo helps people feel like they’re together, no matter where they are in the world. Kokomo has an ImmersiveCalling feature, which is a face-to-face immersive 3D video-calling experience. This technology expands digital connection, giving friends, family, or colleagues the opportunity to meet virtually “in-person” through a compatible VR headset and a compatible smartphone. Users can appear as themselves in a dynamic 3D environment with lifelike detail, interacting in real time.

Explore Beyond the Destination: Free Viewpoint System

With Canon’s Free Viewpoint Video System (FVS), CES guests will be able to jump right into a sports match and experience the match from various angles. FVS is designed for arenas, stadiums, and production studios, using more than 100 Canon Cinema EOS-based 4K cameras and lenses. The cameras work together create a 3D model that allows viewers to see the action from a multitude of perspectives. The system reproduces a wide breadth of views, from drone-style shots swooping in and around the players, to smaller POV angles that place viewers right in the middle of the action.

At CES Canon is showcasing how sports content generated using FVS can be used with VireWirx. VireWirx, formerly known as XCOM Labs, builds high-speed low-latency wireless networks and split rendering solutions to make multi-user, photorealistic, free roam XR experiences a reality today.

Imagine Beyond the Destination: Mixed Reality

Canon’s Mixed Reality Concept Model experience integrates the real world with virtual imaging.

It can account for limits of scale, perception, analysis and collaboration, all with lifelike image clarity and color accuracy. This gives it the potential to make a powerful impact on industry, education, medicine, entertainment and more. Guests at Canon’s CES booth will get to know mixed reality in a 3D product viewing experience.

Collaborate Beyond the Destination: AMLOS: Activate My Line Of Sight

Canon’s AMLOS (Activate My Line of Sight) solution was developed to elevate the modern hybrid meeting experience. At CES, guests can experience the AMLOS solution inside the Canon booth by joining a hybrid focus group session. By teaming up with the Australian luggage brand, July, CES attendees can participate in a focus group with July’s Luggage Design Team and collaborate with fellow CES guests on the design of a travel-themed product.

AMLOS is a software-and-camera product suite that works in conjunction with a company’s compatible video conference solution and is designed to support robust collaboration for modern hybrid creative meetings. Guests at CES can act as remote participants in an AMLOS meeting so they can customize their own individual view throughout the meeting based on what is shown by the in-person participants which can allow them to see things such as physical objects in the room clearly. At the CES design experience, this includes items such as luggage handles, materials, fabrics, drawings, and whiteboards. The AMLOS solution, which uses one of two sophisticated Canon PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) cameras, allows in office participants to use hand gesture controls to initiate certain actions, like capturing whiteboard stills, or spotlighting objects in the room. AMLOS gives remote users flexibility to customize their view of what is shown by the in-person participants, allowing for a unique experience that an individual can optimize based on their viewing preference. The AMLOS solution won a 2023 CES Best of Innovation Award in the Software and Mobile Apps category, marking the first time Canon earned this accolade. Be sure to stop by the Canon booth to experience the AMLOS solution during the onsite focus group with the July Luggage design team.

Journey Beyond the Destination

Canon is also proud to announce that the MS-500 SPAD Sensor Camera is a CES 2024 Innovation Award winner. The camera will be on display at The Venetian during the show. Please also visit the Canon booth from January 9th-12th (Central Hall, Booth #17629) at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Canon EOS R7 APS-C CMOS Sensor
The newly developed EOS R7 APS-C CMOS sensor offers a high resolution of approx. 32.5 effective megapixels. A benefit of the APS-C size is its crop factor that creates a telephoto effect while maintaining the high pixel count. For wildlife and bird photography, this means an extension of your lens focal length by 1.6x, giving you additional reach for close-up shots. Moreover, image quality is perfected with enhanced sensitivity, smoothly capturing all the natural textures of wildlife. (Source: Canon EOS R7 PDF Brochure)
