The Canon CR-N300 NDI|HX is a remarkable PTZ camera in black that offers outstanding 4K and HD image quality. It combines a 1/2.3” CMOS sensor with the DIGIC DV 6 image processor, delivering high - precision images. The 20x optical zoom Canon 4K lens maintains accuracy throughout the zoom range. Its smooth and responsive pan - tilt mechanism enables on - air movement.
This camera supports multiple professional interfaces. With single - cable PoE+ connectivity, you can stream audio, video, control (IP), tally, and power over one cable. It also supports protocols like RTSP/RTP, RTMP/RTMPS for streaming to platforms such as Facebook Live and YouTube. Moreover, it can be remotely controlled via IP, Serial, IR, or Wi - fi and is compatible with multiple control standards.
Key features include a 1/2.3 - inch 4K UHD CMOS sensor for high - quality video capture up to 60fps in Full HD. The DIGIC DV 6 Image Processor ensures high - level performance and operability. The Hybrid AF system combines contrast and phase - difference AF for faster and more reliable autofocus. The 20x optical zoom lens with a wide 65.6 - degree horizontal viewing angle and optical image stabilization captures stable and detailed images. Over - sampling HD processing produces beautiful FHD videos.
The CR - N300 has smooth pan and tilt performance with variable speeds. It supports USB as a webcam, along with HDMI, 3G - SDI, and IP outputs for different video requirements. It also has a 3.5mm mini - jack for high - quality audio recording, a serial RS - 422 terminal for third - party controller connection, and an IP system for efficient operations. Additionally, it supports IP multi - stream for parallel workflows.




Using the Canon CR - N300 is straightforward. First, connect the camera to your power source. You can use PoE+ via the LAN connector or the included AC adapter for 24V DC power. Then, connect it to your desired output device such as a computer, monitor, or streaming platform using the available interfaces like HDMI, 3G - SDI, USB, or IP.
For streaming, select the appropriate protocol like RTSP/RTP, RTMP/RTMPS according to your platform. To control the camera, you can use the RC - IP100 hardware controller or the Remote Camera Control Application. You can also control it remotely via IP, Serial, IR, or Wi - fi.
When it comes to focusing, the Hybrid AF system will usually do a great job automatically. But you can also switch to manual focus if needed. For pan and tilt, adjust the speed to your preference to get smooth movement.
Here are some important notes. The operating temperature should be between 0°C and 40°C, and the humidity should be 10% - 90% without condensation. Make sure not to use PoE when it's not allowed. Also, when selecting video output formats, remember that SDI and HDMI need the same format, and some limitations apply to specific resolutions and frame frequencies.
For maintenance, keep the camera clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the lens and the body. Avoid using harsh chemicals. If you're not using the camera for a long time, store it in a dry and cool place within the recommended temperature and humidity range. And don't forget to regularly check the connections to ensure they are secure.
