It will show how the Canon XC protocol can enable seamless high quality IP multi-cam workflows for a range of broadcast tiers, using the Canon imaging ecosystem. A dedicated area will be converted into a Broadcast Studio that will demonstrate how Canon products can be united via XC protocol and third-party accessories to produce highly cinematic images in a live production environment. Filmmaker and Canon Ambassador Sébastien Devaud will be on hand to discuss the full setup. Products that will be featured will include the CR-N700, EOS C300 Mark III, CN8x15, XF605, EOS C70, CN-E18-80mm and more.

The studio will display products like the CR-N500, CR-N300, XF605, and EOS C70, all connected via Canon XC protocol workflow.
The third area is aimed at content creators and beginner studios using a multi-cam setup and will show a range of Canon products that offer fantastic image quality at a great price point. Products that will be displayed include the XA65, EOS R8, and PowerShot V10.

There will be a variety of virtual backgrounds as well as an example of photogrammetry.
