Dude, what ASIC can make that enormous of a difference? I mean, yes, they are inherently specialized. But that isn't a tiny improvement over what a GPU can do, that's orders of magnitude better than what a GPU on a top of the line process node can do, which I can't see Canon being able to afford for this application. I can't find anything below about 30-40W TDP and they can't do 4k past 60fps, and they're the size of a full size PCIe card.
I think you are talking about 2 different applications.
one is moving data from a cmos or type of sensor for light gathering, processing the analog signal into digital information followed by saving to a digital media.
This is being done on a closed loop, highly controlled electrical path.
The other is taking digital information, manipulating (editing) + adding special effects and then transcoding to another format.
These are apple to oranges comparisons.
Also... why do you thing company that produce pro/cinema rendered footage have large server farms ?
