Optical Quality

The small yet powerful 1.0-type CMOS Sensor and DIGIC DV6 processor provide high-quality 4K UHD imagery at up to 30fps and Full HD at 60fps. This is ideal for a whole host of production applications, as well as giving access to exceptional Full HD footage thanks to over-sampled HD processing. Canon have given time to ensure that your are reliably provided with a clear, crisp image with superior detail; utilising a key 9-blade iris diaphragm. This is most noticeable with the CR-N500's advanced 4K optics providing a flexible 15x optical zoom that covers a broad focal range of 25.5-382.5mm (35mm equivalent). Best suited to TV productions, live sport, and distanced-learning - image stabilisation guarantees minimal image disruption when following subjects, panning over a scene, and zooming into the action.

High-Powered Hybrid AF

The CR-N500 performs well in low-light conditions, making use of its intuitive contrast AF with high-speed phase-detection. This assures the rapid and lightning-fast focusing of subjects in a range of environments - especially prevalent when following live sport. Fitted with a unique external sensor to measure the distance to the subject, the CR-N500 is capable of then comparing the point of focus with that determined by the Contrast AF system. Essentially, this forms a hybrid AF system that is much more effective and reliable than Contrast AF alone. You are therefore granted access to Manual and Continous AF focus modes, along with Hybrid AF and Contrast AF types.

Efficient Workflow Guaranteed

This PTZ camera clearly prioritises an efficient workflow, with a range of IP control and streaming protocols embedded within the system. These go all the way up to 4K UHD 30p, featuring: NDI | HX2, RTMP, RTP/RTSP, RTMPS and Canon's XC Protocol. In simpler terms, this means that the CR-N500 can fit within the majority of new and existing systems for added flexibility. Further to this, you have access to a multitude of Image Presets for fast and efficient adjustments to video settings when working within different shooting environments. You can also register up to 100 custom preset positions to ensure your production runs as smoothly as possible - great for TV studio work, live events, and sports.

The CR-N500 features an array of connections to adhere to your unique requirements during production. The HDMI is capable of outputting 4K UHD 4:2:2 10-bit video, whilst the camera boasts a further 3G-SDI port, USB Port, 3.5mm Audio Input and a PoE LAN port. To ensure smooth, accurate control, the CR-N500 incorporates a high-precision drive mechanism. This allows for slight adjustments to be made to Pan and Tilt movements at variable speed via a controller such as the RC-IP100, or even a mobile device such as a tablet over Wi-Fi. These small, minute changes in movement could be the difference between a good shot and a great one.
