Canon's CR-N500 is a dynamic PTZ camera for production and live streaming. It offers up to 4K60 resolution, Dual Pixel CMOS AF, 15x optical zoom, smooth pan and tilt, and great image stabilisation.
Especially for small to large live productions in a lean team, the following features are particularly interesting:
- Save positions
- Setting presets
- Automatic tracing of camera positions (tracing)
- Extremely good low-light performance
We use the cameras in 3x3 sets together with the Skaarhoj PTZ Extreme control panel. Thus, one PTZ operator replaces a whole 3 cameramen.The following images show setups using the Canon CR-N500 cameras:
