The Canon C500 camera uses a LANC port for control signals rather than supporting direct Preston start/stop cables.
A converter device exists that translates ARRI camera run cable trigger signals into LANC protocol, enabling compatibility between Preston or Bartech remote systems and Canon C300/C500 cameras.
This converter also works with Blackmagic cinema cameras and recorders like the AJA Ki Pro Mini that use LANC protocol.
Using such a converter allows reuse of existing ARRI-compatible remote control systems with Canon cameras.

The converter device was described as being from a specific third-party manufacturer and may require purchasing additional hardware.
Compatibility was stated for specific models but not comprehensively tested across all possible setups.
