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 and the ability to automate your productions using Auto Tracking* and Auto Loop functions.
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, SRT, FreeD 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.
Accurate 4K Auto Tracking
Unlock the potential to track the main speakers with face detection as they move around the stage, automatically. Auto Framing, with Multi-person Framing, delivers natural composition with multiple speakers with ease, while Face Direction framing is ideal for single speakers, creating natural space in front, according to their face direction. Capable of multiple adjustments, settings such as composition size, tracking sensitivity, exclusion zones, priority display area and more mean the ideal tracking set-up can be easily achieved.
Intelligent Auto Loop
Programme repeated camera pan, tilt and zoom movements to track repeated live action, consistently and accurately thanks to Canon’s advanced drive mechanism. Experience the flexibility of programming movements with the ability to initialise a loop back and forth, meaning no camera operator is required. Five automatic movement routes can be registered and are easy to create or customise thanks to an easy setting UI.
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-IP1000, the RC-SK5, the RC-IP100 controller and Remote Camera Control Application controllers, the CR-N500 is also compatible with selected third-party controllers.
