The Canon CR-N100 4K PTZ Camera delivers professional imaging performance in a compact, space-saving design ideal for corporate, educational, worship, broadcast, and live event environments. Built around a Canon 1/2.3" CMOS sensor with Hybrid Autofocus technology, the camera captures detailed UHD 4K video at up to 30 fps and smooth Full HD 1080p video at up to 60 fps via HDMI and IP streaming workflows.
Equipped with a versatile 20x optical zoom lens and 20x digital zoom capability, the CR-N100 provides the reach and flexibility needed for a wide range of production scenarios. Integrated Optical Image Stabilization helps maintain smooth and steady footage, while the 3.5mm audio input allows connection of an external microphone for enhanced audio capture.
Designed for reliable operation in professional installations, the CR-N100 combines advanced PTZ functionality, high-quality imaging, and remote production capabilities in a compact form factor that integrates seamlessly into virtually any environment.
DIGIC DV 6 Image Processor
Canon's DIGIC DV 6 Image Processor is essential in providing high image quality, advanced performance, and convenient operability. This advanced core technology component provides the image-processing power and speed that enables features such as UHD 4K video acquisition and precise Hybrid AF.
Oversampling HD Processing
The Full HD recording (oversampling HD processing) takes full advantage of the image information captured by the 4K sensor to produce vibrant high-definition Full HD video.
Hybrid Autofocus
The camera 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 system helps achieve autofocus faster and more reliably compared to contrast autofocus alone.
Canon UHD 4K Lens
The 20x optical zoom lens exhibits a wide horizontal viewing angle of 65.6° when capturing in UHD 4K. 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.
High-Precision Drive Mechanism for Responsive PTZ Performance
A pan/tilt drive mechanism 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.
Integrated Tally Lamp
The camera 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.
Scene Modes for Impressive Video Expressions
There are four types of Scene modes: Portrait mode, which exhibits a blurred background while the subject is in sharp focus, Sports mode, which enhances capture of moving objects, Low Light mode, which enhances capture of bright images even in dark places, and Spotlight mode, which enhances capture of beautiful images of spotlighted objects.
Built-In NDI HX and SRT Support
The camera supports multiple professional protocols for ease of integration. NDI HX is built in and provides high image quality, low latency, and ease of implementation. SRT is also built in to provide high-quality video over unpredictable public networks.
Support for Canon XC Protocol
The XC Protocol is an IP protocol that controls Canon video production equipment. With the XC Protocol, the CR-N100 can be remotely controlled to support a wide range of applications, which include sports, music, live events, lecture recording, corporate meeting rooms, video production, and more.
Various Interfaces Supported for Multiple Environments
The CR-N100 is equipped with three output interfaces. The IP output and HDMI output are suitable when capturing UHD 4K30 or Full HD resolutions at 59.94p. The USB-C output supports Full HD resolution for high-quality web conferencing.
Remote Camera Control Application
The Remote Camera Control app can be utilized to control the CR-N100. Compatible with Windows and macOS, the app offers centralized control of multiple cameras. It is possible to operate up to nine cameras and display videos simultaneously. The software is included and can be installed immediately without having to prepare a hardware controller in advance, making it easy to use for the operator while creating an effective one-person operation.
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 and embedded audio (AAC-LC), supporting up to five cameras, and is available free of charge. Furthermore, the PTZ camera is not restricted to the short distance of the USB cable, which allows for more flexibility in installation. Whether you are connecting to a video conference system, lecture capture, or other platform, take advantage of Canon's CR-N100 with Webcam Driver for the ultimate PTZ webcam experience.
