Canon To Use NAB Show To Showcase 8K Camera, Lens Prototypes

Canon will use the NAB Show to showcase its full line of professional 4K and HD imaging equipment for movie and TV production, video content creation and still photography, the company said in a Wednesday announcement. Canon also will showcase a 4K projector with high dynamic range, the company said. Canon also will bring its “8K Ride Experience” to the NAB Show, it said. Introduced in September in New York, the 8K Ride Experience “projects video on large screens surrounding viewers to give them a unique sense of movement while sitting or standing still,” it said. At the show, Canon also will showcase working-prototype 8K cameras and lenses, with the imagery shown on Canon 8K displays, it said. Also on display will be a prototype 4K projector capable of covering up to 100 percent of the DCI color space, Canon said.
