Most of the imaging and control hardware found in Canon's CR-N300 carries over to the Canon CR-N100 White, the entry 4K PTZ camera of the indoor CR-N range: a 1/2.3-type CMOS sensor with roughly 8.29 effective megapixels, the DIGIC DV6 processor, a stabilised 20x zoom and Hybrid AF. What it drops is SDI output and FreeD tracking data. For production companies already running HDMI and IP rather than coax, that trims the cost of each camera position without losing Canon image processing or lens control, while the titanium-white finish keeps the head visually quiet on light ceilings in corporate sets, lecture theatres and hotel conference suites.
Over HDMI the camera delivers 4K UHD 30p in 4:2:2 10-bit, and Full HD at up to 59.94p is downsampled from the 4K readout, keeping slide text and fabric crisp in a 1080p programme. The f/1.8–2.8 20x optical zoom spans approximately 29.3–601 mm in 35 mm terms. Its 65.6° horizontal view at the wide end takes in a five-seat panel table from a few metres away, and the telephoto end pulls a tight single from the back of a large auditorium. Optical image stabilisation settles the micro-vibration of trusses and suspended ceilings at long focal lengths. Exposure relies on a motorised gradation ND filter (up to 1/8), 0–36 dB gain, 1/6 to 1/2000 s shutter and four scene modes: Portrait, Sports, Low-light and Spotlight, the last suiting a keynote speaker in a followspot on a dark stage. Minimum illumination sits near 1.5 lux; with no IR night mode, this is a camera for lit rooms, not for security duty.
Focus behaviour matters most once nobody is riding the joystick. Canon's Hybrid AF combines contrast detection with an external sensor that measures subject distance directly, so the lens settles quickly on a presenter walking into frame and dim lighting barely slows it; face detection recognises up to nine faces. The free Auto Tracking App RA-AT001 (Lite) runs inside the camera without a PC, following an automatically selected person and keeping them centred.

A paid RA-AT001 licence unlocks manual subject choice, ten sensitivity steps, five framing sizes, off-centre composition, priority areas and Multi-Person, Face Direction and Sit/Stand framing. That lets one technician cover hybrid lectures, town halls or a panel where speakers change constantly. Firmware 1.3.0, published in October 2026, links presets to tracking, so one controller button switches from a locked wide to an automated follow.
On the Gigabit LAN port, PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at, Class 4) supplies power while every stream and control command shares the same cable, so each ceiling position needs one run back to the switch. If a venue's switch has no PoE+ budget, the bundled 24 V adaptor takes over. Built-in NDI|HX, licence-free and moved onto NDI 6 by firmware 1.2.0, feeds IP vision mixers directly. SRT with adaptive bitrate and automatic reconnection protects remote contribution over open internet links, RTMP/RTMPS pushes straight to YouTube or Facebook, and RTSP/RTP serves recorders and video-management servers. IP video tops out at 4K 29.97 fps in 4:2:0 8-bit. HDMI feeds a local switcher, USB-C makes the camera a UVC webcam for Teams, Zoom or a capture PC, and since firmware 1.2.0 PTZ can be steered over IP while video runs over USB, as room systems with control processors expect. RS-422 on RJ45 and a 3.5 mm mic/line input with plug-in power complete the panel.
Control slots into existing Canon and third-party systems. The CR-N100 talks Canon's XC protocol plus Standard Communication over IP or serial, pairs with RC-IP100, RC-IP300 and RC-IP1000 controllers or SKAARHOJ panels, and answers to the Remote Camera Control Application for up to 20 cameras or the iOS Multi-Camera Control app for four heads over Wi-Fi. Up to 100 presets are stored with thumbnails, and recall speed can be defined as a travel time so that several cameras reach their marks at the same moment. Pan sweeps ±170° at anything from 0.2°/s to 300°/s, tilt covers −30° to +100° and can crawl just as slowly, and operating noise is rated at NC35 or lower, quiet enough for courtrooms, recital halls and live television studios. A front tally lamp tells talent which camera is on air.
The box holds a mounting plate, safety wires, the WL-N01 infrared remote and the power adaptor, so the head can sit on a desk, a tripod thread or hang inverted from a ceiling with image flip; Canon's white A-SWD5WB2-CR wall bracket matches the housing. Larger estates are run from the free Multi-Camera Management Application, which sets up, updates and monitors up to 200 cameras and controllers from one PC.
Seen from a production-house budget, the Canon CR-N100 White earns its place through consistency: the same menus, protocols and control software as the rest of the CR-N family, three feature-bearing firmware releases since launch, and a cost per position that makes four or six matched heads per room realistic.
Auto Tracking
Auto Tracking Application RA-AT001. Unlock the potential to track one or more speakers with face detection as they move around the stage, automatically. Optimise production efficiency for lectures, corporate events, houses of worship, live performances and broadcast.
Upgrade your content with a new firmware update available August 2025
Download the latest firmware and take advantage of newly added Auto Tracking App RA-AT001* features. Auto Framing features include Multi-Person Framing, that detects and includes multiple people in the frame, while Face Direction Framing and Sit/Stand Framing deliver natural composition for a single person in frame. Additionally, RTMP/SRT auto reconnection and improved camera control from the iOS app is now included.
*Free Auto Tracking App RA-AT001(Lite) available via FW, 1.1.0 or later. A paid license is necessary for full functionality of auto tracking.
