Introduction

The Canon EOS 7D is a great camera to film full HD material with. However, the material you get on the Compact Flash memory card is compressed using H.264 at a bitrate that might be to low for certain scenarios and with 4:2:0 chroma encoding, sometimes resulting in somewhat blocky primary colors. To the rescue is the HDMI output of the camera. The HDMI signal is a uncompressed 1080i signal at 60 Hz with 4:2:2 chroma encoding, giving a superior picture quality to the compact flash material. However, to extract the real 25p or 24p image from the HDMI stream requires some special software. This guide describes the process of capturing input footage so it is ready to process by the Syndicate 7D Tool.

What you'll get

Due to the nature of the HDMI output of the 7D the actual usable resolution of the uncompressed footage will be 1620 x 910 at 24p or 25p with a reconstructed 4:4:4 chroma and a red dot in the corner. The red dot can be replaced with the corresponding pixels in the compact flash recorded material in post production. Future versions of the firmware modification Magic Lantern might support 7D and allow for removal of the red dot or perhaps even 1080p uncompressed. The final output file will be a QuickTime with each frame stored with lossless compression, which means huge files.

What you need

To follow this guide to capture video from the Canon EOS 7D you need the following: Canon EOS 7D (duh!) Matrox MXO2 Mini A computer running Mac OS X 1.0.5 or later. Must be one of the following. MacBook Pro 15 / 17 with 2.66 Mhz minimum (faster recommended) and ExpressCard slot Mac Pro with free PCIe slot Final Cut Pro 6 or later A computer running Windows XP/Vista/7 with QuickTime 7.6 or later installed Syndicate 7D Tool Software (demo version available) Something to film
Setting up Matrox MXO2 Mini for 7D capture (first time)
Install the Matrox MXO2 Mini on your Mac as described in the documentation and set it to capture through the HDMI input and not the default analog option. This is done in OS X System Settings. Good 7D capture requires a custom capture preset so inside Final Cut Pro open the Audio/Video Settings.
Go to the Capture Presets tab and scroll down until you find the first entry starting with Matrox MXO2 Mini Apple ProRes 422 (HQ). Select it and click the Duplicate. button. A new window will open with the capture settings.
Rename the preset to Matrox MXO2 Mini 7D and fill in an appropiate description. Then make sure the following settings are set. Frame Size: 1920 x 1080 HDTV 1080i (16:9) Digitizer: Matrox HDTV 1080 Input: Matrox MXO2 Mini 1080i 59.94 YUV 10-bit Compressor: Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) FPS: 29.97
Note that if you are running a slower computer such as the MacBook Pro at 2.66 Mhz you might not have the processing power available for realtime ProRes 422 (HQ) encoding and get dropped frames, which in turn causes the capture to fail. In that case select regular Apple ProRes 422. If you have a monster computer with super fast disks you might also try capturing as uncompressed 4:2:2, but ProRes (HQ) is virtually lossless and much more convenient to work with. Click the Advanced. button and make sure you set the compressor to not use interlacing.
In the QuickTime Audio Settings set the device to None. The Canon EOS 7D does not transmit audio over the HDMI cable so there is no point in wasting valuable processing power on audio. Specially if you are on a MacBook. Once this is done click OK on everything until you're back in regular Final Cut Pro. You'll never have to repeat these steps again once your preset is created.

Capturing Video

Start your Log & Capture as usual but make sure you don't capture audio.
In Capture Settings set device control to Non-Controllable Device since we can't control the 7D from Final Cut. It is not a tape deck! Then set Capture/Input to your newly created Matrox MXO2 Mini 7D preset. Now you can start capturing live footage from the 7D. When recording it is recommended that you follow the following workflow to ease the lining up of the footage from the capture and the compact flash recording as well as avoiding any dropped frames: 1) Once per scene: Set a good balanced exposure using the Video Scopes in Final Cut Pro 2) Start the capture in Final Cut Pro 3) Start recording on the camera 4) Film your subject 5) Stop the capture in Final Cut Pro 6) Stop recording on the camera

Processing the captured video
The output from the final processing takes time and produces very large files. It is therefor recommended that you edit your film first and then only process the takes you really need to process. If you decide not to process the entire take file, but just a portion of that take make sure you add some head and tails to the clip or the interlace detection won't work. The processing will analyze the captured footage and extract the actual 24p or 25p footage from that stream and write it to a new file. It will also reconstruct the color channels to make the 4:2:2 capture into a better quality 4:4:4 file. The reconstruction is primarily visible in primary colors such as bright red.
To process a clip simply take your captured footage file (one at the time) and drag and drop it on the 7DTool.exe executable. A command-line window will open up and the rendering will start. The executable is only available on Windows XP/Vista/7 (for now).
The resulting file will be named the same as your input clip, but with a _24p or _25p postfix. Before starting, make sure you have enough storage for the resulting file. They usually end up at around 1 gigabyte for 10 seconds of video. Windows 7 only: Due to a bug in the QuickTime SDK you need to run 7DTool.exe in compatibility mode. Simply right-click the file and select Properties. Go to the Compatibility tab and set it to run in compatibility mode for Windows Vista (Service Pack 2).

Color Matrix

Just as traditional photographers choose their film based upon considerations of light, saturation and color temperature, the EOS-1Ds Mark IIs Color Matrix function allows the photographer to change characteristics as if they were changing films or filters. There are 5 preset color matrixes and 2 customizable color settings, allowing photographers to fine-tune the color space to their specifications. Whether using the cameras preset color spaces, or customizing color settings for the shoot, photographers can expect precise, natural color, every time.

DIGIC II: Faster, Smarter Operation from Start to Finish.
Heres what I like about the Canon EOS system: Fast shooting, instant feedback,
instant changes in the color temperature, instant change of ISO. No more changing of film from B&W to tungsten to daylight and everything in between, its all right there. No more grain with high-speed film, no more need to shoot at low ISO to accommodate slow tungsten film. Plus, you keep only the best shots! I love the high-resolution sensor, and the big new LCD monitor is the best! Few corporations today have a commitment to innovative research and development based on the demand of its customers. Canon does. Pretty forward thinking!
Canons DIGIC II Image Processor turns information captured by the CMOS sensor into images of exceptional clarity and resolution. Photographers can expect precise, natural colors with smooth, lifelike gradations, spot-on white balance and speed in any number of lighting situations. By handling larger volumes of image data, the DIGIC II Image Processor also contributes to lower power consumption: about 1,200 shots can be taken on a full battery under normal conditions. Photographs can be recorded as JPEG images, RAW images, or both simultaneously with unprecedented control over image quality. Canon's newly developed proprietary CR2 RAW type compression method offers tremendous image quality, with rich 12-bit gradation and lossless image compression. Perfect for critical applications, amazing results can be achieved when processing Canons RAW images on a computer.

More Options for The Way You Work.
The EOS-1D Mark II N is one of the easiest cameras to customize to a photographers personal style of shooting. Six new Picture Style settings simulate the characteristics of different film styles, including Snapshot mode, for punchy, print-from-the-camera color, Portrait mode, for softer, more natural skin tones; Landscape, for vivid blues and greens and overall sharpness, plus Neutral, Faithful and Monochrome, which can be customized to emulate color filters with black and white film. Add Canons new interchangeable matte focusing screens, proven Custom and Personal functions (two card slots, one for CompactFlash (CF) and one for Secure Digital (SD) memory cards) with the ability to record JPEG and RAW image on different memory cards, simultaneously, and its clear that the 1D Mark II N is an incredibly adaptable photographic tool.
The features that attracted me to the Canon system are numerousLets start with
the awesome selection of lenses. I own several of Canons fast lenses and they have given me a whole new look to my photographs. The fast lenses allow me to work in available light, creating portraits that are simple and direct, yet make powerful statements. I also love working with the EOS-1 body. Its durable and nimble all at the same time. I can work the menu features in the darkwith my eyes closedand this is important during stressful shoots when I need to change a setting. Most important: Consistent exposures and accurate focus. That would be the key wordConsistency! This consistency helps keep my work fresh and exciting.

The New EOS with Wide Appeal.
The new EOS 5D offers advanced photographers a lightweight, robust Digital SLR that uses Canons superlative EF lenses without a conversion factor, an important feature for photographers who want to make the most of their EF lenses range. The EOS 5Ds full-frame CMOS sensor
I look for a camera that takes the guesswork out of photography, a camera that is
easy to hold and use, that is an extension of my hands, head and heart. The instant I picked up the new EOS 5D, I knew this was it. Viewing the results of each shot on the 2.5 LCD monitor on the back of the camera, Im able to focus in on the details that are usually missed until Im back at the computer viewing images on a monitor. With the EOS 5Ds advanced playback, I was able to scrutinize every little detail, refining and perfecting the picture with each successive exposure. What a savings of time, talent and money! Then, when viewing images on the back of the camera section by section I was able to confirm in my own mind that I had accomplished what I set out to do. The Canon EOS 5D and I were best buddies right after the first few test shots.

records 4368 x 2912 pixels, thats 12.8 Megapixels, larger than many other companies top-ofthe-line sensors. This sensor, designed in-house by Canon, provides smooth, highresolution images in line with the EOS-1Ds Mark II. The 5D uses Canons DIGIC II Image Processor, has a high-precision 9-point AF system with 6 Supplemental points, an extended ISO range of 50-3200 and 2 automatic noise reduction settings which maximize the effectiveness of the EOS 5Ds on-chip noise reduction. With its wide-angle capabilities, 2.5 inch LCD and magnesium-alloy body, the 5D is the perfect addition to the EOS digital line.

More Features, Less Camera!
The decidedly professional features of the EOS 5D are built into a newly designed compact, rugged and ergonomically designed body. Built with magnesium alloy body covers for strength and portability, measuring approximately 6" x 4.4" x 3" and under 2 lbs, the 5D is easy to carry during even the longest photo shoots. Even the grip is designed for all-day comfort, featuring a groove where the photographers middle finger falls. The metallic mode dial features roulette wheel grooving for a more positive feel, and all buttons and dials are clearly labeled and feature tactile cues, so use becomes purely instinctive. This elegant design follows over to the optional BG-E4 battery grip. With a shutter designed to take a professional 100,000 frames, the 5D is the perfect choice for a primary or secondary SLR.
In a lot of ways you are only as good as the tools you
uselearn to use the best tools properly and your advantage is miles high. As such, I believe that having my Canon cameras and lenses is critical at every job I photograph. Beautiful files, speedy focus, fast lenses, Image Stabilization, high ISOs, easy exposure compensation, and excellent dynamic range are critical to capturing moving moments in life and its those moments that I earn my living from. There can be no compromise. Photographing three little girls at sunset in this remote setting required all the elements that are important to my work. Having a compact, lightweight camera with the imaging power of the EOS 5D made this shoot possible. Without the right tools this shoot would not have been possible.

EOS Solution Disk (Version 11.0) The EOS Solution Disk includes ZoomBrowser EX 5.5 and ImageBrowser 5.5, which provide dedicated support for downloading and simple RAW image adjustment, EOS Capture 1.5, a remote capture tool, which offers improvements in both speed and usability over previous programs.
Shooting boats means consistently exposing my equipment to the most demanding and equipmentthreatening conditions that one can expose a camera tosalt water! I have to be able to concentrate on capturing the image. I have enough to worry about, keeping myself from falling overboard, keeping the lens steady, framing the shot, and telling the driver where to go. The EOS-1 cameras are as tough as nails and thats what I need to get my work done. Onne van der Wal

EOS: The Most Comprehensive Digital SLR System
Canon's world-renowned lineup of EF Lenses includes over 50 models ranging from 14mm ultra-wide-angle to 600mm super-telephoto. Through Canon's advanced optical know-how and sub-micron precision engineering, EF Lenses offer unprecedented capabilities that meet wide-ranging needs. Leading features include a high precision Ultrasonic Motor that silently drives the AF mechanism, an Image Stabilizer that automatically compensates for camera shake, aspherical optics, Fluorite lenses, Ultra Low Dispersion (UD) lenses, and Super UD lenses. No other line of lenses carries the reputation of Canons renowned L-series. Easily recognized by the bold red ring around the outer barrel, these lenses utilize the best in Canons cutting-edge technology, and feature superior durability and resistance to the element, enhancing performance without compromising ease of use. One of the greatest challenges in the design of a telephoto lens has been the minimization of color fringing, or chromatic aberration. So, some L-series lenses use Canons Ultra Low Dispersion glass to help minimize this effect. The design of the UD glass provides outstanding contrast and sharpness and minimizes the splitting of colors as they pass through the elements. In certain super- telephoto lenses, Fluorite elements are used, as they are even more effective in minimizing these characteristics, enabling more compact lens design with no compromise in performance. Wide angle and fast standard lenses often suffer from another optical problem: Spherical Aberration. This occurs when the point of focus of the light ray coming through the center of the lens does not align with the point of focus of the light ray coming through the lens edge. Since there is no sharp point of focus, the image looks blurred. Canons Aspherical elements change the curvature from center to edge to align the points of focus of the incoming light rays so that the entire image plane appears focused.

(ERA-E1) Offers high-security transfer using WPA-PSK, WEP and TKIP encryption (180 minutes wireless, 270 minutes wired).

For Sports Photojournalism
Wireless File transfer has already found a home with sports photographers and photojournalists, who benefit from the speed and ease of transferring images while they shoot: by transmitting images to a local computer, an assistant manages and transmits image files immediately. This way, the photographer can meet any deadline and can even get feedback on images while shooting. And, since they are transmitting their files, photographers dont have to worry about changing memory cards. Whether capturing the winning serve, or the handshake at the net, the photographer will never miss a minute of the action.

Publish

For Commercial Studio Photography
Studio photographers can transfer images automatically, either immediately or after the shooting session. In immediate mode, the art director, client, and assistants can be working, even off-site, giving feedback during the session for greater spontaneity and efficiency. In operation, images transfer to an FTP server via wireless or wired LAN. Wirelessly, the antenna supplied allows a 200 ft. range, more than sufficient for most studios. In wired mode, a port on the side of the unit connects, with an appropriate Ethernet cable, to a computer or other Ethernet device.

Layout

For Wedding Photography
Wedding photographers can have one less thing to worry about with the WFT-E1A attached to their camera. Free to roam about the ceremony and reception, photographers can feel confident knowing their images are being transferred to their computer as they shoot. They wont run out of memory cards or lose important shots while offsite downloading images to the computer. They can shoot either vertically or horizontally, transferring their images without worry of getting tangled up in wires. Results can be shared and orders can be taken on the spot, from clients and guests; showing photographs in print or on screen.
