The CR-N300 supports various connection options such as USB, IP, SDI, and HDMI. It’s equipped with USB Video Class (UVC Ver. 1.1) and USB Audio Class (UAC Ver. 1.0), the standard for USB cameras and computers. This enables easy video and audio output when connected to a compatible USB device.

No additional driver settings are needed when connecting to a computer. It can also function as a webcam when connected to a computer with a web conferencing application, delivering high-quality 1920 x 1080 full HD video for superior web conferencing.

Easy Integration into IP Streaming

Apart from SDI and HDMI ports, the CR-N300 includes an RJ45 interface for IP communication, enabling high-res video distribution. It accommodates various protocols for video, audio, and control. The genuine RC-IP100 controller employs the XC protocol to manage the CR-N300, and it’s compatible with third-party devices. This IP system streamlines and simplifies camera operations in video production and broadcasting, enhancing efficiency.

IP Multi-Stream Support Canon CR-N300 4K NDI PTZ

The CR-N300 can concurrently send video across various IP protocols. This simultaneous distribution, or multi-stream capability, allows it to deliver up to three video streams at once. When the HDMI/SDI video output is 30 fps or lower, the CR-N300 can transmit two video streams simultaneously, featuring 4K H.264 and 360p H.264. These IP multi-streams support parallel workflows, enabling the use of the same video in remote settings simultaneously.

RTMP Streaming Protocol Supported

The CR-N300 can stream video and audio through RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol), enabling immediate playback of high-quality or large video and audio files, like broadcast programs, without the need to wait for the download to finish.

For instance, by setting up a live streaming service, viewers can access the camera’s distribution URL to watch the live video feed. RTMP streaming allows multiple viewers to simultaneously watch the program, even in remote locations.

NDI|HX Live Video Production Support Protocol

The CR-N300 is compatible with the widely recognized NDI (Network Device Interface) protocol, often used in video production and broadcasting alongside RTP (Real-Time Transport Protocol). NewTek has spearheaded the development of NDI to facilitate live video production workflows over IP networks.

By building a system with NDI-compatible devices and tools, users can access video and audio resources on the network, including live camera feeds, enabling a seamless “live video production” process.

Standard VISCA Protocol in Canon CR-N300 4K NDI PTZ

The CR-N300 is compatible with the VISCA protocol, allowing remote camera control via IP. When a VISCA protocol-compatible remote controller is connected to the camera via IP or serial RS-422, it enables remote camera operation and adjustment of shooting settings. The VISCA protocol is a widely accepted standard in various industries, including video production and broadcasting. The CR-N300’s support for this industry-standard VISCA protocol ensures seamless integration into existing workflows.

One Person Operation & Canon XC Protocol

The XC Protocol is a recent IP innovation for managing Canon video production gear. With XC Protocol support, the CR-N300 becomes remotely operable, catering to various applications like sports, music, live events, lecture capture, corporate video production, and more.

The CR-N300 is controllable via IP, infrared, USB, and Wi-Fi. Canon’s hardware controller, the RC-IP100, has the capacity to manage up to 100 cameras and 100 presets, enabling operators to oversee multiple cameras in larger-scale productions. The CR-N300 is an ideal choice for numerous applications in broadcasting, education, religious institutions, events, stage productions, and beyond.

Various Interfaces Supported for Multiple Environments

The CR-N300 has four output interfaces. IP and HDMI outputs work for UHD 4K at 30p or full HD at 59.94p. SDI is for high-quality video at 59.94p, and USB is for full HD web conferencing.

High-Quality Audio Input/Output

The CR-N300 offers a method to capture and output high-quality audio through a 3.5mm stereo mini-jack mic terminal.

All New Design of Canon CR-N300 4K NDI PTZ

The CR-N300 camera stands out due to its unique design. It features a solid exterior with a cone-like shape that exudes both strength and stability in a compact form. This PTZ camera maintains a design consistency with other Canon professional imaging products, including the well-established Canon 4K camera systems and lenses.

The CR-N300 is available in two color options, Satin Black and Titanium White.

Additionally, the CR-N300 comes equipped with tally lamps placed at the front of the lens section. These lamps turn red when the camera is actively recording, offering clear visual cues for both staff and performers to identify the live camera in use.

Wireless Remote Controls Supported

Besides the IP interface, the CR-N300 offers Wi-Fi connectivity for remote access via a compatible HTTP browser on a wireless tablet. When working with multiple cameras, users can control them by entering the respective camera’s IP address in their tablet’s web browser. Furthermore, the CR-N300 comes with an infrared remote controller for wireless camera control.

Easy-to-Use Settings Page and Discovery Tool

The CR-N300 features a camera discovery tool, a Windows application used to assign IP addresses to multiple cameras, facilitating CR-N300 setup in an existing network. Additionally, it supports the web-based “Settings Page” for remote camera configuration. This allows users to adjust video quality settings, such as exposure and white balance, from their desk while viewing the video, enhancing remote control convenience. Both the Camera Search Tool and Settings Page improve ease of use for remote operation.

Remote Camera Control Application

The CR-N300 can be managed using the Remote Camera Control Application, a Windows program designed for centralized control of multiple cameras. This application enables the simultaneous operation of up to nine cameras and video display, allowing for a “multi-camera operation.” On a video production or broadcasting set, an operator can choose a camera from the videos listed in the “Connected Camera List” within the application and control it from the software’s “Camera Control Area” in the control panel. This software comes included and can be installed instantly, eliminating the need for a pre-existing hardware controller, simplifying operation for a single operator and enhancing efficiency.
