Canon CR-N100 4K NDI 20x Zoom PTZ Camera

The Canon CR-N100 PTZ camera is a powerful and versatile option for professional video productions. It boasts a Canon 1/2.3 Type 4K UHD CMOS image sensor that can capture stunning 4K UHD video at 30p, making it ideal for creating high-quality content. Additionally, the camera can capture up to 60fps in Full HD, providing even more flexibility for different shooting scenarios.

Canon's DIGIC DV 6 Image Processor is the engine behind the CR-N100's impressive performance. This advanced processor delivers exceptional image quality, fast processing speeds, and convenient usability. It enables features like 4K UHD video capture and precise Hybrid AF, ensuring your content looks professional and polished.

The CR-N100 offers the best of both worlds with its full HD recording capabilities. By oversampling the information captured by the high-resolution 4K sensor, the camera generates beautiful and detailed Full HD video. This allows you to create stunning high-definition content while taking advantage of the CR-N100's advanced features.

For sharp and reliable autofocus, the CR-N100 is equipped with a Hybrid AF system. This innovative system combines high-precision contrast AF technology with the speed of phase-difference AF to achieve focus confirmation quickly and accurately. This is a significant improvement over traditional contrast AF systems, ensuring your shots stay in focus even during fast-paced scenes.

The CR-N100 boasts a versatile 20x optical zoom lens that provides a wide viewing angle of 65.6 degrees (horizontal) at the wide end. This allows you to capture expansive scenes in confined spaces, making it perfect for capturing indoor events or conferences. The lens utilizes aspheric elements to maintain exceptional 4K image quality while minimizing aberrations throughout the zoom range.

For smooth and precise camera movements, the CR-N100 features a PT (Pan, Tilt) drive mechanism. This mechanism allows for variable speed control, enabling smooth panning and tilting in conjunction with zooming. The PTZ functionality can be controlled remotely using optional controllers or applications, allowing for single-operator productions.

The CR-N100 features a convenient tally lamp located on the front of the lens that illuminates red when the camera is recording. This provides a clear visual cue for production staff and performers, allowing them to know which camera is live.

The CR-N100 offers four Scene Modes to simplify capturing high-quality footage in various situations. These modes include Portrait, Sports, Low Light, and Spotlight. Each mode adjusts various camera settings to optimize image capture for the specific scenario. This allows you to quickly switch between scenes without manually adjusting numerous settings, saving valuable production time.

For seamless integration into professional workflows, the CR-N100 supports multiple industry-standard protocols. Built-in NDI|HX provides high-quality video with low latency and ease of use. Additionally, SRT is supported for reliable video transmission over unpredictable networks.

The CR-N100 provides a variety of output options to suit your needs. The IP and HDMI outputs are ideal for capturing UHD 4K at 30P or Full HD resolutions at 59.94P. For high-quality web conferencing, the USB output offers Full HD resolution. The camera also features an RS-422 serial terminal for connecting compatible third-party controllers.
