Three cameras, one operator, one IP backbone — the Canon CR-N500 Producer Bundle pulls a full multi-camera broadcast chain into a single deployable kit. Three CR-N500 PTZ heads pair with the RC-IP300 desktop controller, answering production houses that need broadcast-grade imagery, predictable colour science between angles and a sober return on capital. Each CR-N500 carries a 1.0-inch 4K UHD CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV 6 processor, delivering UHD at 29.97p in 4:2:2 10-bit over HDMI or 3G-SDI, plus Full HD up to 59.94p when frame rate matters more than raster.
Optical performance reflects Canon's lens heritage rather than typical PTZ compromise. The 15x optical zoom covers a 25.5–382.5 mm equivalent range with a 73° wide field, so one head can pull a master of a 7-metre stage and tighten to a single presenter without swapping rigs. Optical stabilisation cleans residual motion on long throws, the built-in ND filter steps through 1/4, 1/16 and 1/64 densities, and Dual Pixel CMOS AF tracks subjects across pans, tilts and zoom. Sensitivity down to 1.5 lux holds quality in dim venues, while Canon Log 3 and Wide DR Gamma keep roughly 13 stops of grading latitude.
Connectivity sits on an IP-first chain. Each CR-N500 streams over NDI|HX2, SRT, RTSP/RTP, RTMP/RTMPS and Canon's XC protocol, with single-cable PoE+ carrying video, control, tally and power on one CAT run. Two XLR inputs accept professional microphones, 3G-SDI plus full-size HDMI feed switchers in parallel, and an internal stereo mini-jack handles utility audio. The RC-IP300 controller centralises the rig with a 3.5-inch touchscreen, IP preview in 2×2 and 3×3 multi-view, and reach across up to 200 cameras — well past three heads.
The daily payoff sits in tactile detail: dedicated dials for pan, tilt, zoom, focus and iris, 12 user-assignable buttons (three hard) and four function keys with 4-way navigation. Up to 100 presets per camera plus thumbnail previews shorten rehearsals, the Canon PTZ Auto Tracking app frees an operator during talking-head segments, and Multi-Camera Orchestration syncs follow cameras to a manually-operated lead. The Canon CR-N500 Producer Bundle with RC-IP300 reads as a finished tool for corporate events, theatre captures, sports halls, conference stages and newsroom studios.

Powerful 4K imagery
The 1.0-type CMOS Sensor and DIGIC DV6 processor work in unison to deliver exceptional 4K UHD/30p image quality as well as upscaled Full HD/60p images thanks to over sampled HD processing.
Smooth and precise control
The CR-N500 is equipped with a high-precision drive mechanism enabling fine adjustments of the Pan and Tilt movement and speed ensuring the perfect shot. Compatible with the RC-IP1000, the RC-SK5, the RC-IP100 controller and Remote Camera Control Application controllers, the CR-N500 is also compatible with selected third-party controllers.
Stabilised 15x Optical Zoom to get closer
Canon’s advanced 4K optics make sure greater detail is captured, and flexibility assured, with a 15x optical zoom (25.5-382.5mm 35mm equivalent), providing a wide angle to telephoto field of view. Canon’s advanced four-axis image stabilisation ensures high quality image capture.
IP Streaming and Control to transform your production
A comprehensive range of IP control and streaming protocols up to 4K UHD 30p (such as NDI|HX, RTMP, RTP/RTSP, RTMPS, SRT, FreeD and Canon’s XC Protocol) are included, making the CR-N500 an ideal solution for new or existing systems.
Excellent imagery in low light
The CR-N500 produces high quality imagery with low noise, even with a minimum illumination of 1.5 lux. The large 1.0-type CMOS sensor and the DIGIC DV6 processor ensure the image quality retains its integrity even in the most challenging of lighting conditions.
Dual Pixel CMOS AF keeps it sharp
The CR-N500 features Canon’s renowned Dual Pixel CMOS Auto Focus system which provides extremely quick and accurate focus via multiple modes.
Extensive Connectors for ease of use
The CR-N500 features a host of connections to ensure the ultimate flexibility, including a 3G-SDI video output, full-sized HDMI port (supporting 4K UHD 30p at 4:2:2 10-bit), professional XLR audio inputs, as well as a PoE+ LAN port to allow for easy system integration.
HDR Imagery, with versatile image quality adjustments
Achieve stunning HDR imagery with Canon Log 3 and Wide Dynamic Range Support. Both technologies ensure the best HDR imagery can be achieved for applications where postproduction or a quick turnaround is required. The in-built image adjustment settings also ensure flexible and bespoke imagery to colour match with other cameras.
