The CR-N300 PTZ camera is engineered with a 1/2.3" CMOS sensor and the DIGIC DV 6 image processor, a powerful combination that produces stunning 4K and HD image quality. The camera features a Canon 4K lens with a 20x optical zoom ratio, ensuring high precision throughout the zoom range.
The camera's pan and tilt mechanism is smooth and responsive, enabling on-air movement. It supports Canon's new XC Protocol, Real-Time Messaging Streaming Protocol, NDI|HX Live Video Production Protocol, Standard (VISCA) Protocol, and more, offering versatile control options. You can control the CR-N300 remotely via IP, Serial, IR, USB, or wirelessly through Wi-Fi.
The CR-N300 boasts a Canon 1/2.3-inch 4K UHD CMOS image sensor, capable of 4K UHD video capture at 30p and up to 60fps in Full HD. This makes the PTZ camera a top choice for professional video production. The camera's DIGIC DV 6 Image Processor provides high image quality, advanced performance, and convenient operability.
The CR-N300 is equipped with Hybrid AF, an auto-focus system that combines high-precision contrast AF technology and high-speed phase-difference AF technology. This hybrid auto-focus system ensures faster and more reliable auto-focus compared to contrast auto-focus alone.
The camera features a 20x optical zoom lens with a wide viewing angle of 65.6 degrees (horizontal). The 29.3 mm lens is capable of capturing extensive scenes in tight shooting spaces, making it perfect for indoor events. The lens structure of the CR-N300 supports optical image stabilization, minimizing vibration and ensuring stable image capture.
The CR-N300's full HD recording (over sampling HD processing) takes full advantage of the image information acquired by the 4K sensor to generate beautiful high-definition full HD video. This helps content creators produce stunningly detailed FHD video.
The CR-N300 features Scene Modes that offer four preset shooting modes suitable for the desired application. These include Portrait mode, Sports mode, Low Light mode, and Spotlight mode. By selecting a Scene Mode, capture can be performed without having to adjust multiple settings within the Camera menu.
The CR-N300 supports USB in addition to IP, SDI, and HDMI. It is equipped with the specifications of UVC (Video: USB Video Class Ver. 1.1) and UAC (Audio: USB Audio Class Ver. 1.0), which are the connection standard of USB cameras and PCs. This allows video and audio output by connecting to a compatible USB device. It can also be used as a webcam by connecting to a PC with a web conferencing application installed.
The CR-N300 is equipped with an RJ-45 interface purposed for IP communication, which supports high-resolution videos for distribution. The CR-N300 supports multiple protocols that can be utilized for video, audio, and control. The genuine RC-IP100 controller utilizes the XC protocol to control the CR-N300. The CR-N300 can also be combined with third-party equipment for control purposes.
The CR-N300 can simultaneously distribute video to multiple protocols via IP. Simultaneous distribution is also known as multi-stream, and the CR-N300 can distribute a total of three video streams simultaneously. Furthermore, if the HDMI/SDI video output is 30 fps or less, the CR-N300 can distribute two video streams, 4K H.264 and 360P H.264, at the same time.
The CR-N300 supports the NDI (Network Device Interface) protocol that is well-established in the field of video production and broadcasting as the supporting RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol). The NDI protocol has been developed and led by NewTek, Inc. as a protocol that supports the workflow of live video production over an IP network.
The CR-N300 supports the Standard (VISCA) Protocol as a protocol to remotely control the camera via IP. When connecting a Standard (VISCA) Protocol compatible remote controller to the camera over IP or serial (RS-422) the camera can be operated remotely and shooting settings can be adjusted by utilizing the remote controller.
The CR-N300 can be controlled by IP, infrared, USB, and Wi-Fi. Canon's hardware controller, the RC-IP100 is capable of controlling up to 100 cameras and 100 presets - this allows the operator to control multiple cameras in a larger production. The CR-N300 is a perfect fit for many applications in broadcast, education, House of Worship, events & staging, and more.
