Canon has launched a new, free app designed to aid in color matching when working with cameras from multiple brands. The Canon Color Matching Application is a new PC app that analyzes footage from a camera and automatically generates a 3D Look up Table or LUT. That can then be uploaded to the Canon CR-N700 Broadcast PTZ camera in order to color match the cameras.
The app is designed to solve color matching issues when working with cameras from multiple brands. Colors tend to vary from brand to brand, and even model to model, so the app’s goal is to create a custom color profile to allow the Canon camera to match the colors of other brands, saving time when editing multi-camera shoots. While the app is designed particularly for broadcast cameras, Canon USA notes the tool could also be used for content creation and any multi-camera shoot.
