14.0 AUDIO RECORDING
Like the EOS C300 Mark II the EOS C700 supports four channels of LPCM 24-bit / 48 kHz
audio for all on-board recordings. Linear pulse code modulation (LPCM) is a method for digitally
encoding uncompressed sampled analog audio information where the quantization levels are
linearly uniform. $The output signal is automatically changed to 16bit audio when the camera is
working in 4K RAW mode.

15.0 SUMMARY
The EOS C700 is a first unit camera (A-camera) that offers a choice in origination of any of the
four 4K / UHD / 2K / HD standardized production formats. High quality on-board recording of
all of these formats is included. Two separate on-board recording codecs – the Canon XF-AVC
or the Apple ProRes – offer flexibilities in meeting diverse workflows for episodic television
production or theatrical motion picture production. High frame rate recording – up to 60P for
the 4K / UHD formats and up to 120 fps for 2K / HD formats is supported. For the 2K/ HD crop
format the recorded frame rate can be as high as 240 fps.
Separately, 4K / UHD RAW recording at 12-bits up to 60 fps, or 10-bits up to 120 progressive
fps, in a compact dockable recorder thrusts the C700 to an outstandingly high level of image
capture. In addition, a future firmware update to the camcorder will support recording 4.5K
RAW at 10-bit up to 100 fps. Apple ProRes can also be recorded in this dockable recorder.
HDR and WCG image enhancements are applicable to all of the production formats.
