The Canon CR-N500 Professional 4K NDI PTZ Camera is ideal for a documentary shoot, event, streaming broadcast, reality show, or digital film production. When you work in a studio or even a field production where high-end cameras with minimal operating crew are needed, the CRN500 is for you.
Designed to fit into a multi-camera setup by matching the colour depth and visual look with its professional sensor and features. Also by making postproduction easy with camera matching and colour correction.
1" CMOS Sensor
The Canon CR-N500 Professional 4K NDI PTZ Camera with 15x Zoom features a Canon 1" 4K CMOS image sensor capable of UHD 4K video capture at 30p and up to 60p in Full HD, making this PTZ camera great for the remote and unobtrusive capture of professional productions.
Compared to other PTZ cameras, the 1" sensor provides good-quality images with less noise when working in low-light conditions. The CR-N500's DIG!C DV 6 imaging processor drives the high sensitivity (1.5 lux) and low-noise performance of the camera yielding amazing imagery in a variety of shooting conditions.
Canon DIG!C DV6 Processor
The above makes the CR-N500 a notable contender for use in professional productions. Incorporating Canon's DIG!C DV 6 Image Processor, for providing convenient operability, advanced performance as well as high image quality.
Dual-Pixel CMOS AF
Dual-Pixel CMOS AF developed by Canon is AF technology that uses a CMOS sensor that combines imaging and phase difference AF functions. With the Canon CR-N500 auto-focus tracking is effective even during zoom, panning, or tilting.
Dual-Pixel Focus Guide
All focussing information from the Dual-Pixel CMOS AF system is displayed on the monitoring screen. This makes it easy for the operator to make quick and precise focusing adjustments where needed.
Face Detection and Tracking
The Canon CR-N500 Professional 4K NDI PTZ Camera with 15x Zoom employs a variety of focus modes aiding the operator.
On Face Detection and Tracking, the CR-N500 will lock focus on the face while in the frame. There can be chosen between Face Priority and Face Only Detection and Tracking. In the case where there is more than one face in the frame, the operator can seamlessly toggle between the faces to focus.
Canon UHD 4K Lens
An 15x optical zoom lens that exhibits a wide viewing angle of 73° (horizontal) in 4K is attached the Canon CR-N500 PTZ Camera. At the wide end, the 25.5mm (35mm equivalent) lens can shoot tight spaces giving the effect of wide cinematic shots. The camera utilizes aspheric lens elements to achieve 4K image quality while minimizing various aberrations over the entire zoom range.
Built-In ND Filters
With a built-in ND filter mechanism it is easy to select from the three densities (1/4, 1/16, and 1/64).
Optical-Shift Stabilization
The lens structure of the CR-N500 enables real-time responsiveness in a three-dimensional space, supporting optical image stabilization, which helps keep the image capture stable by minimizing vibration.
Smooth and Responsive Pan and Tilt Performance
The Canon CR-N500 Professional 4K NDI PTZ Camera is equipped with the PT drive mechanism, this can change the pan/tilt speed in incremental steps. The CR-N500 exhibits a variable pan and tilt speed of 0.1 to 100°/second.
Canon Log 3 Support
Perfect for post-production, Canon's Log 3 is highly regarded for its latitude and flexibility.
With a dynamic range of 800% / 13-STOP, and the proximity of 18% grey.
For providing a more consistent look across the entire production set-up with other cameras also shooting in Log makes it easier to match the colour and look using the Canon CR-N500.
Wide DR Gamma Supported
Faithfully representing the scene at hand, the Canon CR-N 500 supports a wide DR Gamma for natural and realistic-looking images. With a dynamic range of 800% seamless tone gradations, this then results in smooth detail and virtually no blown-out highlights.
Equipped with Six Image-Quality Modes
The Canon CRN500 is well suited for any high-end video production, equipped with the bespoke image quality modes from Canon.
Six presets are available to choose from, each of these contains specific gamma, colour space, and colour matrix parameters. Additionally, gamma, colour space, and colour matrix parameters can be manually adjusted to create a specific image look.
Easy Integration into IP Streaming
The Canon CR-N500 Professional 4K NDI PTZ Camera with 15x Zoom is also equipped with an RJ45 interface designed for IP communication. (SDI and HDMI ports also available). The CR-N500 can also be combined with other third-party equipment for control purposes.
IP Multi-Stream Support
Distribution to multiple protocols via IP can be done simultaneously. Also known as multi-stream while the CR N500 can distribute up to three streams simultaneously.
RTMP Streaming Protocol Supported
Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) is supported. This makes it possible to play large video/audio files a the same time as distribution, all without the need to wait for the completion of download. Like for live streaming applications.
NDI|HX Live Video Production Support Protocol
The Canon CR-N500 Professional 4K NDI PTZ Camera 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).
A live video production workflow can be created by constructing a workflow with systems that is NDI protocol-compatible.
Standard VISCA Protocol
The camera can be controlled remotely via IP by supporting the standard VISCA protocol. When connecting a 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.
Various Interfaces Supported for Multiple Environments
The CR-N500 is equipped with three output interfaces. The IP and HDMI outputs are suitable when capturing UHD 4K at 30p or full HD resolutions at 59.94p. The SDI output is capable of full HD resolution and is suitable for usage when requiring high image quality video at 59.94p.
Genlock
Eqquiped with Genlock for allowing sync with other systems in a multi-media environment.
2-Channel XLR Audio
Offering a variety of ways to record high-quality audio through two XLR terminals, and an internal stereo mini-jack mic terminal.
Standard Serial RS-422
The CR-N500 is equipped with a serial terminal RS-422 which can be utilized to connect third-party supported controllers that support the standard VISCA protocol communication.
One-Person Operation
The Canon CR-N500 Professional 4K NDI PTZ Camera can be controlled via IP, infrared, and Wi-Fi. The separately available Canon RC-IP100 is capable of controlling up to 100 cameras as well as presets. This enables the user the operator to control multiple cameras in a larger set-up.
Equipped with Tally Lamps
With a tally lamp on the camera lens makes it easy for talent to see the recording status of each unit in the production set-up.
Wireless Remote Controls Supported
