DP-V1830 Overview

4K HDR Video Production

Luminance performance

The DP-V1830 achieves 1000cd/m2, a requirement for HDR video production (ITU-R BT.2100, EBU TECH3320, Dolby Vision). This enables consistent video checking from shooting to editing on all Canon display models*.

And in addition to its high luminance, it achieves all-black levels of 0.001cd/m2, as well as high contrast performance of 1,000,000:1 for video production.

Faithful and more natural colour reproduction

HDR offers a wider range of luminance and colour expression than SDR. With HDR, you can reproduce richer and more natural ”true-to-life colour” that gets lost with conventional SDR.

DP-V1830 features high luminance and wide colour gamut that allows it to faithfully reproduce HDR images captured using high-performing 4K lenses and CINEMA EOS cameras with wide dynamic range, allowing users to create higher quality HDR video.

Enhanced Black Levels and High Contrast

The hardware performance of the Hi-def engine has been greatly improved, enabling precise backlight control to drive the LED precisely on and off, and achieving a high-contrast display with excellent contrast at the boundary between bright and dark areas.

Inherently dark areas are darkened and bright areas are brightened, resulting in a crisp, high-contrast display. It realizes all-white peak luminance of 1000cd/m2 with improvements in depth of blacks, which are vital for broadcast and cinema video production, enabling more accurate displays of dark tones in night views, fireworks and other scenes.

Wide Colour Gamut

Wide Colour Gamut

HDR video production has an expanded range of colours that can be reproduced, requiring display of a wide colour gamut for faithful confirmation of richer and more vivid colours. The DP-V1830 is equipped with Canon's unique backlight system that maximizes the colour, brightness, and other properties of LEDs, providing a wide colour gamut.

The display complies with the HDTV broadcasting standard ITU-R BT.709, the UHDTV broadcasting standard ITU-R BT.2020, the digital cinema standard DCI-P3, and ACESproxy, the transmission standard of ACES which is the colour management standard proposed by AMPAS. It can faithfully reproduce colours in wide colour gamut video for broadcast and cinema video production.

Wide Viewing Angle

Wide Viewing Angle

When time schedules are ever-changing during live productions in stadiums, mobile production trucks and other applications, one or more people may need to monitor multiple displays at the same time, requiring a viewing environment where brightness and colour do not change even when viewed from different angles.

DP-V1830 features a unique optical design that reduces luminance and colour changes due to viewing angle, enabling accurate image quality confirmation in environments where multiple people are simultaneously monitoring in a relay car and studio.

The surface is coated with anti-glare coating to reduce reflections and glare when used outdoors and in brightly lit areas.

Image Quality and Performance

High resolution

The DP-V1830 features the same 3840x2160 resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio panel as the DP-V1710, DP-V1711, and other models. It can display signals compliant with 4K broadcasting standards on a full dot-by-dot basis.

When inputting DCI 4K (4096x2160) signals, users can choose between full-screen display with a scaled-down image or native display with cut sides (jog dial can be used to shift the display position left or right). It also features enlarged display modes for 2K or full-HD video productions. This contributes to improving the efficiency of 4K/2K video production workflows for expanded use as a 4K display.

High accuracy uniformity

The DP-V1830 achieves the same level of high-accuracy uniformity as previous models. Featuring a uniquely-developed display image engine, it enables fine adjustments to prevent unevenness in colour and brightness on the screen, achieving precise uniformity.

Display stability/long-lasting dependability

The DP-V1830 achieves high colour accuracy thanks to precise adjustments prior to shipment from the factory, just like previous models. It is also equipped with an exclusive automatic luminance correction system that compensates for brightness changes due to changes in the temperature in or around the display as well as changes over time to ensure excellent display stability and long-lasting dependability.

Smooth and accurate gradation characteristics for each RGB colour

Internal processing with Canon’s high-resolution engine achieves smooth and accurate gradation characteristics.

Canon’s HDR Toolkit

HDR/SDR 2 Split-Screen Display

The DP-V1830 UHD 4K Reference Display supports split-screen display of HDR and SDR signals. Since video can be displayed simultaneously on the left and right screens, differences in luminance ranges and gradation/brightness can be compared at a glance, thus allowing HDR shooting to be conducted with more confidence and efficiency.

Various other features can be combined to make HDR production easier to perform: Range Compression Display according to specific production applications, Clipped Display, Camera Information Display, and Waveform Monitor Display. The DP-V1830 fits inside 19" racks making it an excellent choice for broadcast vans that are subject to space and weight restrictions.

HDR-Compatible Waveform Monitor Display

The waveform monitor can be selected to display HDR scales (e.g. SMPTE ST 2084 nit) or Canon Log (%) for maximum flexibility in HDR production.

HDR Range Variable Adjustment Function

Variable adjustment of the HDR range is possible to suit specific applications. For example, the dynamic range of the HDR standard signal or LOG signal can be displayed to fit within the luminance supported by the display main unit (range compression), or required actual luminance parts of the range can be displayed with the highlight range area excluded (range upper limit clipping). Desired values can also be registered in advance to function buttons or channel buttons. This lets you call up respective HDR standard videos for confirmation by one-touch operation.

HDR Meta-information Display

Metadata information (colour gamut, gamma, maximum luminance, average luminance maximum value of content) from PCs for HDMI-compatible video editing and Blu-ray players, cameras and other devices can be displayed on screen.

This is useful for appropriate HDR productions since videos can be monitored while confirming the HDR information at the same time.

False colour

In addition to the traditional false colour feature, users can display colours that vary according to the brightness of the SMPTE ST 2084 (PQ) and Hybrid Log-Gamma input signals. In addition, you can check the brightness level more visually since the coloured areas are displayed with a gradient.

In false colour display, luminance ranges that are colour-coded according to HDR range can be automatically adjusted, and the user can set two different luminance ranges and use these properly according to the type of scene. The user can also set a luminance boundary (100/200cd/m2) between HDR and SDR regions, and can colour-code the SDR range with two different colours.

This means that the user can set and check the desired luminance range in more detail and with greater freedom and ease than ever before.

BT.2020 Out-of-gamut display

A new feature to debut on the DP-V1830 is the Out-of-Gamut Display. This function changes colours that cannot be reproduced by the native colour gamut to red when Colour Gamut is set to BT.2020. (Areas other than the coloured areas are displayed as monochrome.)

Range Check

Areas that are within the brightness range specified by the user or more and areas that are within the set HDR range or more can be coloured red. (Areas other than the coloured areas are displayed as monochrome.)

This enables users to visually check the brightness range status during HDR shooting. Integrating with an HDR range makes it much easier to determine exposure conditions visually in HDR shooting. It shows areas exceeding the set HDR range in red. The width of the red scale area changes according to set HDR range values.

Pixel Value Check

The luminance values*1 and pixel values at an arbitrary location within the picture and the xy chromaticity values and coordinate position*2 on the chromaticity diagram of a given pixel can be displayed when producing HDR contents.

In addition, the maximum luminance within the frame can also be detected and the value display can be shifted instantly to that position by pressing the Reset button. This makes it possible to pinpoint and accurately understand the luminance values and the xy chromaticity value of items such as the sky, a window frame, skin, etc.
