CLOSE THE DISTANCE WITH UNRIVALLED CLARITY

The CR-N300 makes content creation and streaming simple. Equipped with a 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor with 4K UHD resolution, 20x image stabilised optical zoom and a wide range of streaming and control protocols, it’s ideal for remote productions.

Razor Sharp 4K Imagery

A 1/2.3 inch type CMOS Sensor and DIGIC DV6 processor combine to deliver exceptional 4K UHD imagery (up to 30p), or outstanding Full HD footage thanks to over sampled HD processing. These technologies provide an image quality with superior levels of detail fit for any production.

20x Optical zoom for incredible flexibility

Capture all the detail you need, thanks to Canon’s advanced 4K optics which feature a flexible 20x optical zoom covering a broad focal range of 29.3-601mm (35mm equivalent), ensuring great flexibility. Equipped with image stabilisation, for minimal image disruption when moving.

IP Streaming and Control to transform your productions

The CR-N300 boasts a comprehensive range of IP control and streaming protocols1 up to 4K UHD 30p allowing for greater control for your production needs. Featuring major protocols such as NDI | HX2, RTMP, RTP/RTSP, RTMPS and Canon’s XC Protocol, it will fit into most new or most existing systems, making it an extremely flexible option.

Hybrid AF for precise focus

The CR-N300 combines high-precision contrast AF with high-speed phase-detection AF, ensuring rapid and accurate focusing of the subject, even in low light conditions. Equipped with a bespoke external sensor which measures the distance to the subject and compares the point of focus with that determined by the Contrast AF system. This Hybrid AF system is particularly effective in low light situations and provides fast, accurate and reliable Autofocus with greater accuracy than Contrast AF alone.

Flexible connectivity for your workflow

The CR-N300 features a whole host of connections to ensure the ultimate flexibility in workflows. Featuring a HDMI port which can achieve 4K UHD, 4:2:2 10-bit. The camera also boasts a 3G-SDI port, USB Port, 3.5mm Audio Input and a PoE LAN port.

Smooth, precise control

The CR-N300 is equipped with a high-precision drive mechanism, enabling the Pan and Tilt movement to be finely adjusted at variable speeds using controllers such as RC-IP100, REMOTE CAMERA CONTROL APPLICATION or a tablet via Wi-Fi, to capture the perfect shot.

Image Presets for Quick and Easy Use

The CR-N300 is equipped with multiple Image Presets that allow for quick and easy adjustments of video settings for specific environments. The user can also register up to 100 preset positions on the CR-N300 making productions simple and easy.

Small and compact for easy installation

The CR-N300 is small and discreet at 154 x 178 x 164 mm (W x H x D) and weighs just 2.4kg making it ideal to be installed in environments where space is at a premium.
