Canon announced three 4K PTZ cameras suitable for many applications, such as broadcast, sports and education. The three pan-tilt-zoom cameras are the CR-N500, CR-N300 and CR-X500.
The CR-N500 and CR-N300 suit indoor productions, while the CR-X500 performs well outdoors. All of the cameras record 4K UHD footage and are compatible with many IP protocols, like XC Protocol.
“These new PTZ cameras and remote camera controller were designed with the system integrator market squarely in mind. We are eager to see how these cameras are incorporated into the creative solutions that they develop for end users,” Canon says.
