Canon CR-N100 4K NDI PTZ Camera with 20x Zoom (Satin Black)
Add remotely controlled cameras to your production for operation with minimal crew and a high-resolution output, the satin black CR-N100 4K NDI PTZ Camera with 20x Zoom from Canon will fit right into your house of worship, corporate conference room, government application, courtroom, broadcast streaming production, event space, or even add an extra camera to your documentary shoot.
The CR-N100 sports many features of a Canon camcorder, such as a 1/2.3" dual-pixel CMOS sensor, Hybrid AF, the Canon DIG!C DV6 image processor, optical image stabilization, scene modes, 20x optical zoom, 20x digital zoom, microphone input, and video capture and output up to UHD 4K. The camera also includes NDI|HX and SRT support without requiring a separate license, allowing you to drop the camera into your existing NDI network with minimal configuration.
1/2.3" CMOS Sensor
The CR-N100 features a Canon 1/2.3" UHD 4K CMOS image sensor capable of UHD 4K video capture at 30p and up to 60p in Full HD, making the PTZ camera a strong contender for professional production.
Canon's DIGIC DV 6 Image Processor is essential in providing high image quality, advanced performance and convenient operability to the CR-N100. This advanced core technology component provides the image-processing power and speed that enables features such as 4K UHD video acquisition and precise Hybrid AF.
Oversampling HD Processing
The full HD recording (oversampling 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 when utilizing the CR-N100.
Canon 4K UHD Lens
The CR-N100 features a 20x optical zoom lens and exhibits a wide horizontal viewing angle of 65.6°. At the wide end, the 29.3mm lens is capable of capturing extensive scenes in tight shooting spaces such as indoor events for impressive wide shots. The camera utilizes aspheric lens elements to achieve 4K image quality while minimizing various aberrations over the entire zoom range.
The lens structure of the CR-N100 enables real-time responsiveness in a three-dimensional space, supporting optical image stabilization, which helps keep the image capture stable by minimizing vibration.
Hybrid AF
The CR-N100 is equipped with "Hybrid AF", an autofocus system that combines high-precision contrast AF technology and the high-speed phase-difference AF technology to confirm autofocus from the camera. This hybrid auto-focus system helps achieve autofocus faster and more reliably compared to contrast autofocus alone.
Smooth & Responsive Pan / Tilt Performance
The CR-N100 features a PT (Pan, Tilt) drive mechanism that enables multi-step speed changes from high to low speeds, providing smooth PT in tandem with the zoom. This can be linked with optional remote controllers and applications to support many kinds of video production with a single operator. The CR-N100 has a variable Pan speed of .2 to 300°/second and variable Tilt speed of .2 to 180°/second.
Tally Lamp
The CR-N100 is equipped with a tally lamp located on the front of the lens section that can illuminate red when the camera is shooting. This provides clear visual indications for staff and performers to know which camera is shooting live.
Built-in NDI|HX and SRT Support
The CR-N100 supports multiple professional protocols for ease of integration. NDI|HX is built-in to the camera and provides high image quality, low latency, and ease of implementation. SRT is also built-in to the camera that helps provide high-quality video over unpredictable public networks.
Webcam via USB Connection
Turn the CR-N100 into a super webcam with Canon's Webcam Driver. The Webcam Driver is a virtual USB driver that allows the CR-N100 to be used as a powerful webcam over a network. The software has many advantages such as, automatic camera detection, up to 4K 30P video output, embedded audio (AAC-LC), supports up to five cameras and is free of charge.
One Person Operation & Canon XC Protocol
The XC Protocol is an IP protocol that controls Canon video production equipment. With XC Protocol, the CR-N100 can be remotely controlled to support a wide range of applications, which includes sports, music, live events, lecture recording, corporate meeting rooms, video production, and more.
Standard Protocol
The CR-N100 supports the Standard Protocol to remotely control the camera via IP. When connecting a Standard 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 an optional remote controller.
High-Quality Audio Input/Output
The CR-N100 offers a method to capture and output high-quality audio through a 3.5mm stereo mini-jack mic terminal.
Remote Camera Control Application
The Remote Camera Control Application can be utilized to control the CR-N100. The Remote Camera Control Application is a Windows / Macintosh application for centralized control of multiple cameras. It is possible to operate up to nine cameras and display videos at the same time - achieving a "multi-camera operation".
