The EOS C100 is designed from the ground up to blend seamlessly into your existing file-based workows,
including external video monitors, recording systems and non-linear editors. Use of the industry-standard
AVCHD file format provides full compatibility with consumer/professional editing software, ensuring
near-universal industry support and dramatically reducing post-production complexity. Multiple recording
modes, resolutions and frame rates help ensure that the EOS C100 can accommodate a range of
creative shooting requirements. Uncompressed 4:2:2, 8-bit HD images – with integral time code for
accurate audio/video synchronization – is also output via an HDMI Type A interface.

Editing Workflow – Industry-standard
AVCHD File Format
The Advanced Video Coding High Definition/AVCHD
file-compression standard lets you make video recordings
in Full HD for many hours, but requires far less SD-format
media and disk space than other file formats. Since AVCHD is
based on high-quality MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 data compression,
such files are fully compatible with a large number of consumer
and professional NLE software from Apple®, Avid®, Adobe®,
Grass Valley® and other brands, letting you work within
current editing and post-production environments without
having to change methodologies. Multiple recording modes,
resolutions and frame rates mean that the EOS C100 can
flexibly adapt to virtually any production requirements. Three
recording data rates are selectable, ranging from 7 Mbps to
a maximum rate of 24 Mbps.
HDMI Output with Integral Time Code
In addition to outputting AVCHD-format files to its pair of
SD slots, the EOS C100 can deliver high-definition video
signals in uncompressed 4:2:2 format via a standard HDMI
digital output for external recording, live viewing or playback
on an external monitor. To streamline the attachment of
external recorders, flat-panel display and other devices, the
EOS C100’s HDMI output also carries multiplexed, 2:3
pull-down markers and SMPTE-format time code. The latter
can be used when synchronizing downstream audio and video
systems, or to accurately locate video segments during
post-production. A locking connector helps ensure a more
secure and robust attachment of compatible HDMI cables.
“For the documentary portion, we really wanted a very nice,
clean, well-lit, punchy image. When we got to the produced
portion, we wanted that to be a bit saturated, slightly surreal
– and we actually played with the toning a little bit more. We
used the extended dynamic range profile which allowed us
to then…really take it to either direction.”

Seamlessly Recombine Video with Data Import Utility
Data Import Utility
The Canon-supplied Data Import Utility software application,
available in both Windows- and Macintosh-compatible formats,
lets you seamlessly recombine video data that was divided
when a file exceeded the 2GB limit, or join files that were
created during relay-recording mode. To further help reduce
your workload during editing, the import utility automatically
recognizes divided media as a single, continuous file.
