Canon Europe has announced its CR-N100 indoor 4K PTZ camera and RC-IP1000 professional PTZ controller for broadcast and live events.
The CR-N100 (pictured above) is equipped with 1/2.3-type 4K CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV6 processor with a 20x optical zoom lens for 4K UHD resolution footage.
Additionally, Canon also launched its multi-camera management application to facilitate the workflow of multiple PTZ cameras.
The CR-N100 includes four different scene modes – portrait, sports, low-light and spotlight, with a hybrid auto focus system to combine contrast AF with external phase-detection AF for use in low light conditions to assist the camera operator.
The camera is compatible with Canon’s auto tracking App1 as an add-on application to enable the camera to automatically track the main speaker without the need for a camera operator.
Additionally, the CR-N100 supports the multi-camera management app that enables batch setting configuration, management and monitoring of up to 200 cameras.
RC-IP1000 PTZ controller
The RC-IP1000 PTZ controller includes a host of features to complement Canon’s PTZ camera models and is compatible with IP and serial communication to access and control PTZ cameras remotely. An input monitoring feature is available to enable users to view feeds on a seven-in LCD screen, built on the controller, without the need for an external monitor.
12G-SDI and HMDI input/outputs up to 4K 60P, enabling operating and monitoring of up to 200 cameras over IP.
