PTZ camera Canon CR-N500 - 4K - IP Streaming - White

CLOSE THE DISTANCE WITH UNRIVALLED CLARITY

A dynamic PTZ camera aimed at productions and video streaming, the CR-N500 boasts a 1.0-type 4K UHD sensor and Dual Pixel CMOS AF, plus 15x optical zoom, smooth pan and tilt as well as image stabilisation to capture content in superb detail.

Powerful 4K imagery

The 1.0-type CMOS Sensor and DIGIC DV6 processor work in unison to deliver exceptional 4K UHD/30p image quality as well as upscaled Full HD/60p images thanks to over sampled HD processing.

Stabilised 15x Optical Zoom to get closer

Canon’s advanced 4K optics make sure greater detail is captured, and flexibility assured, with a 15x optical zoom (25.5-382.5mm 35mm equivalent), providing a wide angle to telephoto field of view. Canon’s advanced four-axis image stabilisation ensures high quality image capture.

IP Streaming and Control to transform your production

A comprehensive range of IP control and streaming protocols up to 4K UHD 30p (such as NDI|HX*, RTMP, RTP/RTSP, RTMPS and Canon’s XC Protocol) are included, making the CR-N500 an ideal solution for new or existing systems.

Excellent imagery in low light

The CR-N500 produces high quality imagery with low noise, even with a minimum illumination of 1.5 lux. The large 1.0-type CMOS sensor and the DIGIC DV6 processor ensure the image quality retains its integrity even in the most challenging of lighting conditions.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF keeps it sharp

The CR-N500 features Canon’s renowned Dual Pixel CMOS Auto Focus system which provides extremely quick and accurate focus via multiple modes.

Dual Pixel Focus Guide

Provides a visual representation whether the subject is in focus when focus is manually operated.

Face Priority/ Face only AF

Detects faces automatically and tracks the focus of the selected subject.

Touch AF

Working with the Remote Camera Control Application software, users can select an object they would specifically like to focus on.

Extensive Connectors for ease of use

The CR-N500 features a host of connections to ensure the ultimate flexibility, including a 3G-SDI video output, full-sized HDMI port (supporting 4K UHD 30p at 4:2:2 10-bit), professional XLR audio inputs, as well as a PoE+ LAN port to allow for easy system integration.

Smooth and precise control

The CR-N500 is equipped with a high-precision drive mechanism enabling fine adjustments of the Pan and Tilt movement and speed ensuring the perfect shot. Compatible with the RC-IP100 controller and Remote Camera Control Application controllers, the CR-N500 is also compatible with selected third-party controllers.

HDR Imagery, with versatile image quality adjustments

Achieve stunning HDR imagery with Canon Log 3 and Wide Dynamic Range Support. Both technologies ensure the best HDR imagery can be achieved for applications where postproduction or a quick turnaround is required. The in-built image adjustment settings also ensure flexible and bespoke imagery to colour match with other cameras.
