Canon CR-N500

The CR-N500 is a dynamic PTZ camera for production and video streaming. It features a 1.0-inch type 4K UHD sensor with Dual Pixel CMOS AF, 15x optical zoom, smooth pan and tilt, and image stabilization - capturing content with premium detail.

Bring the distant up close with 15x optical zoom and image stabilization.

Canon's advanced 4K lens adds detail and flexibility, with a 15x optical zoom (25.5-382.5mm equivalent KB full frame) covering wide-angle to telephoto. Canon's advanced 4-axis image stabilizer ensures high-quality shots.

IP streaming and control for a whole new way of production

A comprehensive range of IP control and streaming protocols for recording up to 4K UHD 30p (e.g. NDI|HX*, RTMP, RTP/RTSP, RTMPS and Canon's XC protocol) are supported by the CR-N500. This makes it easy to integrate with existing and new systems.

* NDI is a trademark or registered trademark of NewTek, Inc. in the U.S. and other countries.

Excellent image quality in low light

The CR-N500 delivers high-quality images with low image noise even in the minimum illumination of 1.5 lux. The large 1.0-inch type CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV6 processor ensure high-quality images even in difficult lighting conditions.
