  • London, UK, 22 July 2016 – Canon Europe will be demonstrating its full range of professional imaging products at IBC 2016, the leading global tradeshow for the media and broadcast industry in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Having exhibited at IBC for more than three decades, Canon will display its latest industry-leading innovations – the range will include professional cameras, broadcast live streaming, reference displays and in excess of 100 lenses.

    The Canon stand will provide visitors with the opportunity to get hands-on with Canon’s Full HD, 4K and HDR products, through a variety of end-to-end workflow scenarios – from shooting experiences, to review and editing processes, including innovative low-light and long distance live shooting demos.

    Since its inception in 2011, Canon’s Cinema EOS range has been instrumental in transforming the professional video industry – with a range of innovations, including Dual Pixel CMOS AF for effective autofocus, leading sensor technology and advances in resolution. In April 2016, Canon saw the family of Cinema EOS products expand further with the launch of the versatile ME200S-SH, a compact professional multi-purpose video camera, and CN-E18-80mm T4.4 L IS, a compact cinema EOS lens with cine-servo style functionality. Both will be on display for touch and try, for the first time in Europe.

    “The recently announced ITU HDR TV standard reaffirms the importance of both HDR and 4K for the future viewing experience, at Canon we continue to listen to our customers when developing the product range to ensure our innovations meet their needs,” said Kieran Magee, Director Professional Imaging, Canon Europe. “We understand that content providers and creators demand quality products that will deliver the creative vision in HDR and 4K. At IBC 2016, we’ll display our largest range of 4K HDR products to-date.”

    At the show, broadcast and cinematography professionals will be able to get hands-on with Canon’s full range of 4K, Full HD and HDR products including the prestigious Cinema EOS Range, stunning reference display units and broadcast solutions. Visitors can experience the full power of the company’s optics portfolio, with Canon’s extensive range of lenses, from broadcast to cinema and EF lenses.

    Canon’s IBC stand can be found at Hall 12, stand D60.

  • AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, JULY 19, 2016 – Wisycom, designer and builder of the most sophisticated RF solutions for broadcast, film and live production, will showcase its newest, state-of-the-art true diversity IEM receiver, the MPR50-IEM, at IBC 2016 (Stand 8.D78).

    Based off Wisycom’s popular MPR30-IEM, the new MPR50-IEM contains a user-friendly interface that features popular components that are favored by established Wisycom users. A welcome addition to the MPR50-IEM is the new ENS compander that caters to live and music shows/broadcasts by significantly increasing the quality of audio transmission during the transfer of complex data, such as high dynamic audio inputs. Vocal transmission, the main purpose of the previous system, is also refined with the MPR50-IEM.

    The MPR50-IEM possesses remarkable channel switching capabilities, giving the user freedom to switch from IEM to IFB mode with a simple click on the menu. This new IEM also protects the ears from an accidental volume increase by allowing the user to set a maximum volume with its quick lock volume control. The unit’s LED lights can be set to the user’s preference and display independent brightness selections.

    Matching the previous receiver, the MPR50-IEM features a true diversity configuration with two whip antennas, along with Wisycom’s signature wideband tuning range up to 232 MHz and an audio peak-dynamic of 200 mW. This receiver also offers convenient function buttons, including a dedicated frequency scan option. Battery management is flexible and allows the use of standard battery packs.
