Professional 4K PTZ Video with 20x Optical Zoom

The Canon CR-N350 combines a 1/2.3-inch 4K UHD CMOS sensor with Canon's DIGIC DV 7 image processor. As a result, the camera delivers detailed 4K video at up to 60p while providing smooth and responsive PTZ operation.

Furthermore, the 20x optical zoom lens provides a 29.3mm to 601mm focal range in 35mm-equivalent terms. Therefore, you can capture both wide shots and detailed close-ups without moving the camera. When shooting in Full HD, the camera also provides up to 40x Advanced Zoom.

Optical Image Stabilization adds another layer of image control. Consequently, the CR-N350 can help produce steady footage, particularly when working at longer focal lengths.

Fast and Accurate Hybrid Autofocus

The CR-N350 uses Canon Hybrid AF, which combines contrast-detection and phase-difference autofocus technology. This helps the camera acquire focus quickly and maintain accurate focus during live productions.

In addition, Face, Eye, and Head Detection helps the camera identify and follow presenters and other subjects. As a result, the CR-N350 is well suited for lectures, presentations, worship services, conferences, interviews, and live events.

Canon Color Science and HDR Support

The CR-N350 delivers Canon's renowned color science for consistent, professional-looking video. Moreover, users can choose from multiple image and HDR options to match different production environments.

The camera supports Wide Dynamic Range, Canon Log 3, HDR HLG, HDR PQ, and EOS Standard/Neutral image modes. Therefore, it can fit into workflows that require either ready-to-use images or additional color grading flexibility.

The CR-N350 also uses oversampling HD processing. Because the camera starts with the information captured by its 4K sensor, it can produce detailed Full HD video for productions that do not require a 4K output.

Smooth PTZ Movement

The CR-N350 features a responsive pan and tilt mechanism with variable movement speeds. Pan and tilt speeds can be adjusted from 0.1° to 100° per second, while presets can reach up to 200° per second for pan and 180° per second for tilt.

Therefore, operators can create smooth camera movements for live production. In addition, thumbnail images can be assigned to presets and recorded trace movements, making it easier to identify and recall specific shots.

NDI|HX2, SRT, SDI, HDMI, and IP Connectivity

The Canon CR-N350 provides a wide range of professional video and networking connections. For example, it supports 3G-SDI, HDMI, NDI|HX2, SRT, RTMP/RTMPS, RTP/RTSP, and USB video.

Because the camera supports NDI|HX2 and PoE++, users can simplify network-based production setups. A single network connection can provide power, video, audio, tally, and IP camera control.

Additionally, SRT support includes adaptive bitrate functionality. This makes the CR-N350 a flexible choice for IP video production and live streaming workflows.

Built-In Auto Tracking Lite

The CR-N350 includes Auto Tracking Lite, a free version of Canon's Auto Tracking Application. It provides basic automatic subject tracking directly from the camera.

As a result, presenters can move around a stage or presentation area while the camera works to maintain their position in the frame. For productions that require more advanced tracking controls, Canon also offers a paid Auto Tracking Application.

FreeD for AR and VR Production

The CR-N350 supports FreeD for integration with augmented reality and virtual production systems. Furthermore, FreeD supports multiple destinations, making the camera suitable for more advanced studio and event workflows.

This connectivity allows the camera to become part of larger AR, VR, and virtual production environments rather than operating as a standalone PTZ camera.

USB Webcam and Video Conferencing Support

In addition to professional video outputs, the CR-N350 supports USB Video Class (UVC). Therefore, you can connect the camera to a computer and use it for video conferencing and other webcam applications.

The camera can deliver up to Full HD 1920 x 1080 video at 60fps over USB. Consequently, the same PTZ camera can support both professional video production and everyday communication workflows.

Remote Camera Control

The CR-N350 can be controlled remotely using IP, serial, or IR connections. It also supports Canon's XC protocol and standard control protocols for easier integration with third-party production hardware.

Moreover, Canon's free Remote Camera Control Application can operate up to 20 PTZ and professional video cameras over IP. Operators can preview multiple cameras and adjust settings such as pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and exposure directly from a computer.

For larger installations, Canon's Multi-Camera Management Application can monitor and manage up to 200 cameras. It can also support device backups, registration, firmware updates, and multi-camera management.

Canon Multi-Camera Control App

The free Canon Multi-Camera Control App provides another convenient way to operate compatible Canon cameras. Using an iPhone or iPad, operators can control functions such as pan, tilt, zoom, focus, iris, ISO, shutter, white balance, and custom picture profiles over a network.

Therefore, the CR-N350 can be controlled from a dedicated hardware controller, computer, mobile device, or other compatible production system.

Vertical Video for Social Media

The CR-N350 includes a vertical crop mode for social media and other portrait-oriented content. Instead of creating a separate camera setup, users can generate a 9:16 stream from the main video output and adjust the crop in real time.

As a result, the camera can support both traditional 16:9 productions and modern vertical video workflows.

Add-On Applications

Canon's Add-On Application System allows compatible paid applications to be installed directly on the camera. Consequently, certain advanced production functions can run without requiring an external computer.

Available applications include Auto Tracking and Auto Loop. The Auto Loop Application can automate programmed pan, tilt, and zoom movements, while its fade mode can create smoother starts and stops.

Flexible PTZ Camera for Professional Production

Overall, the Canon CR-N350 4K PTZ camera is built for productions that need high-quality video, powerful zoom, flexible connectivity, and remote camera control. Whether you are producing live events, education content, corporate presentations, worship services, broadcasts, or streamed productions, the CR-N350 provides a versatile PTZ workflow.

With 4K 60p video, 20x optical zoom, Hybrid AF, Optical Image Stabilization, NDI|HX2, SRT, 3G-SDI, HDMI, USB, PoE++, FreeD, Auto Tracking Lite, and extensive remote-control options, the Canon CR-N350 is designed to integrate into a wide range of professional video production environments.
