Canon’s CR-N100 Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) camera is making waves at IBC 2023, particularly targeting corporate, higher education, and places of worship. In an interview with Matt Koshy from Canon, DIYPhotography explores the appeal of these cameras. Despite being more affordable, the CR-N100 offers 4K resolution, Canon’s trademark autofocus, and tracking capabilities.
The primary audience for higher-end PTZ cameras is broadcasting, but this model is tailored for corporate settings, higher education institutions, and places of worship. The advantage of PTZ cameras lies in their ability to be strategically placed around a large space and controlled by a single console operated by one person.
With 20x optical zoom and 20x digital zoom, these cameras are designed for remote operation over considerable distances, making them ideal for venues like churches, theaters, stadiums, and lecture halls. The addition of follow focus enhances usability, and the Hybrid Auto Focus Quick ensures precise focusing even in low-light conditions. The cameras boast sensor sizes around an inch, providing close-to-cinema-quality footage with the convenience of remote operation. Additionally, they are ready for live streaming right out of the box.
Connectivity features include HDMI and USB-C inputs, power via ethernet, LAN (PoE+), USB-C, and a 3.5mm Audio Jack. The compact and lightweight design (2.2 kg) allows for versatile placement in various locations. Overall, the CR-N100 PTZ camera from Canon appears to offer an attractive combination of features for its target audience.
